Is the screen protector really necessary? isn't the glass of the iphone scratch resistant? i'm finding the sp gets dirty easily.

I always keep one just in case. I got a metal shaving on my finger from work and scratched the SP on my old phone. Replaced it with a new one, good to go.

I am a nervous person and I don't believe in complete scratch resistant. I use this when I'm eating, and would rather have a dirty screen protector than a scuzzy phone that may be ruined.

I have mine on just in case, for extra protection, the one provided with the case, I mean you don't NEED it, but I would have it on

Probably not. This isy first iPhone, so I like the idea of it being all wrapped up and protected! I was able to put my SP on pretty snug, so it's been working nicely for me.

I didnt put mine on the screen, only the back to protect from scratches. I can't say for sure, but 90 percent of me thinks it would be very clear. My only concern would be the touch response. It is great for the back because it makes the ipad less slick. Seems like that would make the screen the same, which i wouldnt like. I HIGHLY recommend the spigen glass protector. Its actually gorilla glass, easy to put on and feels better to the touch than the ipad screen. More slick if you will.

the plate adheres to the back of the phone or between your case and your iPhone so no it should not scratch the glass. Hope this helps.

If you use an Invisible Shield, then the line isn't going to be smooth because of the texture, and I've noticed people have had some bad luck with hard plastic screen protectors generally (otter box defender, etc.). I have glass screen protectors on my iPad Air, OnePlus One, Nexus 7 2013 and Galaxy S4. None of them has been scratched or broken so far. Before I switched to glass, my original Galaxy S Note went through two IS protectors that were rugged but halting for styli and began to peel over time.

Nope, it is plastic, been using for it for about 7 days ? now no scratches. I wouldn't want glass because of weight and most likely more fragile than the hard phone glass screen.

Mine has a protective cover on it which I highly reccomend, but I have not noticed any scratches to that cover from it so far.

No it still gets fingerprints and smears, but they seem easier to clean up than on a screen. Also the screen won't get damaged if you scratch it when cleaning.

Case but I'm crazy about not getting scratches on my device. If you really want to protect the glass back then get the case but the if you want a slim profile then bumper. The phone feels great without a case with the glass back so the bumper would be nice and the glass back has a plastic cover on it so either way you can't go wrong.

I bought kept a screen protector on the screen and a case on the phone from the day I got it. The phone itself would be too fragile to NOT have a thick cover on it at all times in my opinion. Also, i found that the screen was really sensitive and mine got "stuck" between screens when I would swipe.

I tend to agree with the other people that responded to your question. I think the cover fits great and the flap that goes over the screen stays closed pretty well. I think having the screen protector is ultimately a personal preference, but I myself, haven't found the need to put one on it. Of course, I really haven't taken it outside of the home, so there's not much chance for dirt or anything gritty to get on the glass or the inside of the cover. If you think you'll be exposing the tablet/case to the outside element, you may lean towards being cautious and put one on it.

I can't speak to your particular item but I have a iphone 5s and a IPad 3 and have not seen any scratches. This has been a great item for me. I hope this helps.

The screen protector seems to be built in, like most Otterbox-type cases, but you could probably remove it by tearing it out if you wanted to just permanently not have a plastic film in the case. From my experience, though, the screen guard isn't super easy to scratch and it's comforting to be able to keep finger oil, food, drink, moisture, and scratches off of the screen itself.

Yea the screen protector isn't very good. I recommend going to radio shack. I spent 20 dollars and it's been on my phone for 3 months

Havent had to deal with the waranty yet...Ive had my screen protector for about 2 months and it doesnt show any wear and tear at all...as a side note though...I am extremely careful with my phone so I dont usually put it near keys or change or any item that can potentially mess it up.

That's hard to say, because it's all really subjective. Honestly, I wouldn't believe anyone that said their product is smudge free because that's never true. I can smudge anything that claims to be smudge free. Haha! As far as the HD protector being more crisp/clear, I would say that's subjective too because not all people have the same eyes. But on a serious note, I only purchased this product because as a screen protector, I know it works. The iphone has been dropped from a height about 3 - 4 feet, several times now since the purchase, and it has held up.

I wouldn't buy the glass cover. All because I personally like my screen protector. I've dropped my phone a lot. Depending how thick the glass is, it might shader when you drop the phone. But it's up to you if you want to take the chance. But I got a finger print resistance cover for my phone. It's really good. Glass may leave lots of finger prints. It's up to you!

Have not on mine. the lip of the holder makes it sit just perfect inside without touching the screen. I do not have a screen protector on mine and have no scratches or anything.
