Do You really Need a Screen Protector?

I'd just like to know if you really need this, the GS has a different coating on their screen than the previous models. Do these protectors really work, do you need them on your GS for insurance?

A screen protector on the new 3GS would defeat the purpose of the oleophobic coating. I have tried protectors on my Palms but I prefer bare back with the iPhone. Screen protectors are a pain to apply without leaving wrinkles and bubbles and you can never replicate the smooth feel of the glass. You will also lose a little bit of screen brightness as they will never be 100% transmitting. I carry the iPhone in my pocket with the screen facing my pants leg and my wallet on top without an unsightly bulge. I don't put keys or lose change in that pocket. I agree that if you are throwing the iphone into a bag, purse, or backpack with lots of sharp objects (like your eating utensils or Bowie knife set), a slip cover might be a good idea. I bought one but it was so tight and hard to remove that I don't use it. Maybe others can suggest a good case that preserves the slimness of the iPhone.

  • Do you really need a screen protector for iPad?

    So I know the iPad 4th gens have a really durable glass screen. Do I really need a screen protector? I have a case that covers the screen. It is an incpio.

    If you have a cover for it (your case) you shouldn't need a screen protector. I use Apple's Smart Cover and do not have a screen protector.

  • Does iPhone 6 really need a screen protector?

    Does the iPhone 6 really need a screen protector if the phone is in a case?

    I put one on my iPad 2, largely cause it's an expensive toy and I want to keep it in good shape. I like knowing that if my niece plays 'mad birds' and gets grubby little fingerprints on it I am simply cleaning off a sheet of plastic, not the screen. I consider it an investment against the potential resell value whenever i replace it.
    Like the others have said, personal choice.
    I'd think if your device never leaves the living room table and is only used by adults in a controlled surrounding, then you probably have no need. But if you're carrying it around, using it anywhere, potentially sharing it with others then it may be a good idea.

  • Do I need a screen protector for my New iPad with retina display?

    I have a screen protector on my new iPad with retina display, but does this effect the screen display and do I really need a screen protector on?

    So I just got my first ever iPad (4th gen) about 4 days ago. I am waitng on a case and have been looking into a screen protector, debating this same question on quality. I have a 3 year old and he is dying to play with it. In the meantime I cannot stress how careful I have been, as Im sure you all know what Im talking about.  Last night I was using it on my lap and my shirt tugged it off, causing me to grab it before it fell. Of course the longest, sharpest nail, caught it for me. Obviously I freak out and hurry to clean the screen to see for damage. I see there is a huge line where my nail caught it, but upon cleaning was no longer there. This nail was sharper than any key I own! So I guess what im going to do is get a complete cover for use with my 3 year old and just a basic one when I use it. Good job apple!

  • Do you need a screen protector for iphone4s

    Do you need a screen protector for iphone 4s ?

    It depends on how you handle and use the phone.  If you put it in a pocket or bag with loose change, keys, grit, etc, the oleophobic coating will likely scratch and sometimes the glass will scratch as well.

  • Do u  need a screen protector for the Iphone

    I know it might be a stupid question but alot of my friends have the Iphone 4 and they say they dont need a screen protector because the screen doesnt scratch like other smartphone and phone screens. Anyone know if this is true?
    Eric   

    I use all my devices naked. Screen protectors detract from my enjoyment. But if you're worried, try one and see if you can live with it. 
    The glass is really strong. I've had my iPad for eight months and it doesn't have a scratch on it. Granted, that device is babied more than a phone, not shoved in a pocket.
    Be sure to follow Apple's directions for cleaning the screen. Cleaning it too often can break down the oils that protect the glass.

  • Do you really need an IDE?

    Do you really need to have an IDE for Java? Does it make things easier for a newbie?
    Thanks

    I hear what you're saying... I don't think BlueJ should be used to write HelloWorld, but after compiling something basic on the command line I think it can be a decent introduction to Java.
    I started programming a year ago and after a month or so of working in Notepad++ and the command line I used BlueJ until I felt I had outgrown it. It isn't anything spectacular, as you know, and is sort of buggy, but I still think it can aid in the learning of Java for someone new to the language.
    In particular I think BlueJ does a nice job of emphasizing the idea of objects -- having a visual representation of your classes as little UML-like diagrams that you can interactively play with is kind of cool. Being able to right-click to create Objects and see how they interact with each other is, in retrospect, I think, probably not a bad way to learn.

  • Does an ipad need a screen protector

    does the ipad mini need a screen protector or is it tough enough to withstand scratching?

    I use Apple's Smart Cover instead of a screen protector.

    10 bucks more would get you a Smart Case, which also protects the aluminum back of the iPad.

  • Do you really need the shoes to make this product work?

    I just saw some information on the TV about this. My question; if anyone can help with it, is do you REALLY need the shoes to make this work. I mean all it is is a little disk and a wireless plug-in for the Nano. It would really help me out if someone can tell me.

    You do not need the shoes to make it work. Check out this thread for ways people have gotten the sensor to work with non-nike+ shoes: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=559827&tstart=75

  • Do You Really Need The Nike+sport shoes

  • Do you really need the 4-in-1 drivers

    Do you really need to install the 4-in-1 drivers if you are using windows 2000pro? What I notice is that windows 2000 pro install all the drivers but the agp drivers. Ihave the K7T TURBO 2 MOTHERBOARD.

    Do you have the abilty to backup or image your OS? If so bench mark your system using Sandra, PCMark and 3DMark, install the latest VIA Hyperion drivers and bench mark again.  I am confident that you will see an improvement.  The VIA drivers are written specifically for the chipset, like using Detonator drivers on NVidia cards.  If not rebuild you image from your back up.

  • Need a screen protector with Musemee Notier stylus?

    I have an Ipad Air 2 which I love, and am looking for the right app/stylus combination to take notes.  Lots of apps are good -- the issue is the stylus.  I've tried several and just got the Musemee Notier which is spectacular.  But the screen protector I purchased as a safeguard did not apply well and I am going to return it.
    Does anyonen know if  I need aa screen protector with a high precision stylus such as the Musemee Notier?
    Thanks!

    Hey
    I just boght the new Air 2. Does the Musemee Notier v2 work with the Air 2?
    I'm searching the right Stylus to take notes at university and i found nothing about the Musemee and the Air 2.
    Greetings!
