Really no need for a SP unless your phone goes through hell, or you like plastic.
Check out the link. Now, all I need is for www.seidioonline.com to make a sexy, sleek case.

I hate screen protectors. I really really really really do. But I can say that even though we have gorilla glass you should get a real look. My first Vibrant had a screen protector or two and I said who needs em. I had my nexus naked for six months without a single blemish........same day I took my sp off, I got a nasty scratch down the left side of the glass. Thing is my phone is in a body glove case, and I never put in a pocket with anything else.
You can get reallook for 11.00 for two protectors. They really do look like nothing is there. Much better than the clear freak. even when the screen is off.
From a guy who hates screen protectors, I say get one. You can never be too careful with a 500 phone.
Gorilla glass isn't indestructible. A SP, especially one as unobtrusive as a realook, is probably a good idea just incase of some sort of disaster. That being said, this phone is pretty tough. I know a few people who have dropped their vibrants from iphone shattering heights and escaped unscathed, a testament to the excellent build quality and light weight of this device.
I don't see the word "Vibrant" anywhere in that article. Did you do some further research and find out that they used the same gorilla glass in the vibrant as they did the I9000?
Also, I've had my vibrant for exactly a month now and I have been very, very careful with it. I've been handling it like a damn newborn baby, especially the first couple of weeks. Somehow, and I have no idea how, I got a small grouping of fairly deep scratches in my screen within the first few days of taking it out into the world. This is happened even though I was taking my sim card out and putting it in an old Moto Razr while at work (I haven't had an account with Tmo for a couple years and that's the last Tmo phone I had) and wrapping the thing in a soft cotton clothe while in my pocket.
I personally am a little skeptical of this gorilla glass or the fact that the vibrant even has it.
what is taking seido this long.. they were able to make one for epic which came recently.. but not our Vibrant...!!!
Patiently waiting for the white slider to be available. Also still waiting for SGP to respond to my inquiry. I still want to know if this case has been redesigned for the Vibrant/non Korean Galaxy S's. I'd really like a case without the antenna cutout.
The pictures on the website still show the Korean version of the case/phone. I hope they didn't just relabel these
Just chatted with a CSR at Seidio.
She says they have no plans to make cases for the Vibrant. Not even a maybe...
So...
I just read this thread yesterday and thought "wow, that's awesome" and then today my "gorilla glass" screen got a big ass scratch on it.....
That hurts...Did you get the scratch from regular use ? I've heard good things about gorilla glass...
I went to the employee release (they gave out vibrants to everyone who attended) and samsung flaunted at the fact that the vibrant had gorilla glass. They even went as far as grabbing keys, nails, etc to test the screen...I'm surprised it was a small mystery after release. In fact, I thought everyone knew....
I carry my vibrant in an otherwise empty pocket all the time and I still managed to get a small scratch just above the display area. $11 is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

I have a Realook and can't tell it's on there so I'll keep it just in case. If I could tell it is on there I'd take my chances but I can't so it's one more form of protection to cover an expensive investment.
Yeah, I keep my phone in a seperate pocket away from metal, and there is a small scratch on the glass...No idea how this happened...cuz the worst it could have come in contact was is keys(even then no pressure would of been applied in this scenario for the key to scratch) or the plastic edge from my other phones case. Should it of fallen the raised edges from the gel case would of kept the face off the floor, and in the two or three falls it didn't hit any sharp edges of any kind either.
So prob best to get protection regardless.
I've managed to get an ever so small scratch as well. Didn't notice it till I was cleaning it thoroughly for a SP, but hard to believe this is some special glass considering I had been very careful with it.

I purchased realook because of all the great feedback. I took it off within a minute. It made the screen have a rainbow color on it and when I read text it strained my eyes.
As soon as I peeled it off the screen was easy on my eyes.
I had a clearfreak for about 3 weeks and started thinking:
"If I always have a screen protector on it when will I ever get to enjoy my SAMOLED screen without it?"
I mean I know it's protected with a SP but why always have it covered and never get to see it in it's full glory. I don't know maybe it's just me. I would hate to scratch it but with a SP I would never get to enjoy it completely to it's maximum potential.

You should have been more patient because the rainbow effect disappears overnight. The Realook screen protector is virtually invisible on my Vibrant .

I agree, mine disappeared after a few hours as well
I've had my Realook on there for a week and it still has the rainbow look to it...terrible. Debating taking it off
Anyone else a daring and adventurous guy like me, living the dangerous life with no screen protector.
But still sport the pocket protector to keep the nerd alive jk.
Just got sick of my screen always being covered up, I did have a good one from Otterbox, it was very clear, and went on near perfectly with no bubbles, but when gets greasy hard to clean off, it seems to attract grease almost. Now with the naked screen, it doesn't seem to get nearly as greasy at all, and the image of the screen with no protector is even sharper and clearer. Look out "Retina Display" I am looking at you.
I know I may scratch the screen somehow, but not too worried. Anyone else take it off and like going naked ? Hey now !!!
my friend had his Evo for months without a screen protector and he never scratched it until he put the oem htc protector on it. it did look very nice compared to mine (with the protector on)...but i KNOW i will scratch mine so mine stays on!
i tried it haha i went out golfing with it in my pocket and i guess there was a lot of pressure on my pocket on my downswing and it put a big crack on my screen
Daring, daring people...
Took mine off six months ago. No scratcheson the main screen. My camera glass cover has a few scratches though.

I have been running mine with no screen protector since day1. No scratches at all. I don't abuse it or anything but I'm also not extremely careful. I personally just couldnt stand the rubbery feel and the degraded image. As a side note I actually apply some carnuba wax (very carefully) every couple of weeks and it helps a lot with the grease etc. Even makes it ultra slippery.

good idea with the wax... gonna try it myself, haven't used a screen protector since July and my screen is like new
Running it nude here too, had a TINY thin scratch under 1cm long from my keyes. Luckily the screen kept getting dust under it so sprint replaced the glass for free.

I like my screen protector from Otterbox. I'm not brave enough to go naked at this point. I'll wait until I've owned the phone a year and I'm closer to the replacement. Of course, I do pay for the insurance... Hmm. Perhaps I should ponder this more.
I don't use screen protectors because they don't feel right when it comes to touch, and they degrade the picture quality. Not only that, but glass is harder than virtually all metals so the chance of it getting scratched are pretty low. The only thing you really have to worry about is sand, but if your phone won't ever be exposed to sand then there's nothing to worry about.
IMO screen protectors are obsolete for capacitive touch screens. For the older plastic screens that were used for resistive touch screens though, it made more sense.

Same here...I hate protectors/cases...have you ever rocked a case and protector, and then every once in a while took it all off to clean it up? Remember that feeling you had looking at it all cleaned up and in its true size right before you put all of that **** back on??! It looks a million times better! Why cover it back up??!! I've had mine naked since release date and for the exception of a few hair line scratches on my camera lens (no effect whatsoever on the quality of pics/vids), its still perfect!
I fumbled mine over this weird ornimental bronze ashtray and dinged up my otterbox screen protector in about ten places. I thought for sure the phone was done while it bounced across the ashtray, but the protector took all the punishment. They immediately sent out a complete replacement case (regardless of me telling them what I did and asking where I can buy just the screeny, awesome customer service). So I had the damaged protector removed for the three days I waited for shipping... and there is NO WAY I'm putting another protector on, this glass feels awesome, doesnt collect finger funk or microscopic finger scuffs. More responsive, image is sharp, the phone just feels slicker and faster. I still have the commuter case on the body at work but at home I gotta strip it down completely and revel in the sexiness of this phone. I'm done caring what happens to the phone now, just like the rest it will look like an old turd in two years and I'll be sporting something new anyway.
I'm starting to feel the same way... I've gone caseless the past two days. Maybe I'll take the screen protector off today.

i also like their screen protector, not much friction when sliding around finger
Currently naked and oh does she feel amazing lol
No case or screen protector and I sport it in my left front pants pocket all the time.
I had a nice slimmer case by sedio I think and then the corner clips broke so it was coming apart. Ordered a Otterbox case and was like omg... I could throw this thing like a baseball and I bet it could take the beating. Had the Otterbox on for a few weeks then I got tired of that oil slick effect under the screen protector and once it was naked there was no putting the clothes back on!
I am a little upset though, since taking it out of the case there are now 3 small pieces or dirt under the screen and its only been out of a case for maybe a week. The Evo I have is a replacement since my mic stop working on my original phone. It does have that screen separation issue.
I haven't used a screen protector since Day 1, which, for me, was back in early November 2010. I still don't have any scratches on my screen and agree with the op's sentiments that some screen protectors dilute the quality of the display.
I'm very careful to never place my EVO in my pocket with anything other than my Bluetooth headset. No spare change, no car keys, et cetera. I've also found that some relatively inexpensive microfiber cleaning clothes from Target are spectacular at removing fingerprints and grime from the screen when it does become dirty.

I had a HTC Hero for about 1.5 years, completely naked since day 1. When I got rid of it, I only had a couple of small, barely noticeable scratches. It wasn't babied at all and it was dropped a few times. The only thing I used to clean that screen was whatever jean or shorts I had on.
Now if I can only get past being paranoid with the EVO ; there's nothing better than rockin' a naked phone.
I stopped using my case a few weeks ago, and haven't had any issues. Yesterday, I picked my wife up from the salon. While we were driving home, I had her answer a text for me. When we got home, she forgot it was in her lap, and just got out of the car. It hit the concrete right on the corner on the backside and scratched all the way down to the red. She got very upset about it, so I pretended it was no big deal...but DAMMIT! It was friggin MINT before that!
A month ago I peeled off the Zagg protector Best Buy put on when I bought it back in October. Not going back. Looks better, feels better.
Ahhhhhhh, freballin'
I went back to a screen protector already
Was at WorstBuy, looking at misc stuff, and this hot chick was pimping the Zagg bullet proof screen protector, well a few shake of her boobs in front of me, and I was sold. I am sucker.
Actually I LOVE this screen, has a weird sticky feel to it, very good traction on the finger, and even better doesn't seem to attract any grease, I like this much more than the clear Otterbox protector.
Combine this with the best case for the EVO, the Case-Mate "Tough" and this phone is ready for 2012.
So i just got sprint and the Epic touch about 20 days ago. I love the phone even with the minor problems. (No los *knock on wood* but weak signals) I've taken spectacular care of the phone and love it. Today i went for a job interview and put it in the dress pants. Get home and take it out. What do i see a damn scratch new the home and menu button from me dress pants. Phone had it's own pocket. Keys and wallet were in the other one. Now i'm just pissed and sad. I bought the invisible shield but tracking says it's going to come in tomorrow.
Now for your input:
I still have a few days left. Should i add the Equipment protection from sprint for the 8 dollars a month?
or should i get a squaretrade warranty for 100 for 2 years?
Also what's everones thoughts on the invisible shield as it's my first time buying it and should i return it when it comes and get a different one?
I have to total equipment protection and its very useful. I broke my last phone twice and was able to get the replacements fast. It's just a nice thing to have incase you ever need it.
As far as that screen protector, I've used it before on the original Epic and it's decent but scratches easily. I've been using the steinheil ultra crystal and it's great. So far I haven't had any scratches on it.

Yep, sand and jewelry, about the only two ways to scratch Gorilla Glass. Even just one tiny little grain of sand will scratch it. Metal objects like keys, knives, etc won't scratch it.

if the scratch was in the middle of the screen I would freak about it.. I'm ocd with that.. but your scratch isnt even that bad and it's down by the buttons anyway, it doesnt interfere with viewing of the screen. I would say stop worrying about it, if it was a huge scratch across the screen I could see freaking about it. Hell I freaked when I brushed 1 grain of sand off my phone at the beach and it scratched it, it made me replace it but that was a scratch right across the center of it that drove me nuts..
You guys are right. I checked my pockets and some sort of grainy substance in there so probably sand somehow? Thanks for the input!

Yea I know. Just the first wound to the phone was hoping it would happen a bit later into the phones life. I am happy that it doesn't affect the screen but i like keeping my things pristine.
Anyone else finding that their s6 scratches easily? This is the second s6 phone I had and just being in my pocket with nothing else scratches the screen pretty bad. I have multiple scratches just from my drivers license rubbing against the screen using those wallet cases.

Exactly the opposite. Are you just trolling for comments? What the Hell is your drivers license made of ? STEEL? You may want to go get a new license made because having a steel license is about as normal as this phone being easily scratched.

No need to be rude about it. I'm not trolling and I'm being dead serious that two of my phones was scratched from both being in my jean front pocket with nothing else and from using this case with a PLASTIC drivers license. I just wanted to see if this was a common thing with other owners.

It must have been something else that scratched it because otherwise the phone is not genuine. Part of the reason I never use screen protectors is because corning glass has a high resistance to scratching. Notice how everyone else finds it hard to believe. Its because this glass is hard to scratch. I wasnt trying to be rude , I was just astonished that you were having this issue when I have seen drop test of this phone flat on its face that cause little to no scratching at all. I hope you find a resolution to your problem and would be curious to know if some of the glass was not treated properly and is more prone to scratching . I guess there is always a chance the corning released a defective batch of glass that was shipped to your area
I use mine without screen protector, do not remember seeing any scratches on day1(other than ones that were from manufacturing defect as we suspect from the thread in other forum).
Now, after almost a month, I have 3 very fine scratches. I use one of my pockets just for phone and never dropped it so I am sure sand/fine dust particles caused those new fine scratches. Its not a huge deal as you can't feel them with fingernails but see them in sunlight or yellow light very easily.
And to OP, here's another person that has issues:

No scratches on mine and I've had it since April 10th. I carry it my purse and jacket pocket with no screen protector. I'm honestly not understanding how people are commenting on having scratched up phones. Did you purchase your phone directly through T-Mobile pre-official release date?

I honestly wonder the same thing, but a lot people say their screen just got scratched out of the blue. They don't tell you that they keep the phone in the same pocket with their keys and stuff. I keep my phone in my pockets also but it's always the only thing in that pocket. I won't even put change or anything in the same pocket. Had mine since day 1 and no scratches here either.
I've had the S4, S5 and now the S6e. I carried all in the same conditions: front-right pocket, no case, no screen protection, nothing else in the pocket. Ever. Neither my S4 and S5 never had a single scratch. Ever.
But after one day, my S6e had developed tiny "scratches" all across the entire front surface. The catch: these are only visible in bright sunlight at specific harsh angles. Perhaps those here stating, "I have no scratches, you're doing it wrong!" have not been fully evaluating theirs under bright sunlight like this?
But, as others have stated, this is somewhat disappointing.
In fact, it seems, when pressing on the front of the screen with my fingers, it seems rather flexible. It seems almost like the new GorillaGlass4 is more like GorillaPlastic4.
So, I'm hoping it's just this oleophobic coating?
Usually this is from silica being sandwiched between the screen and another object followed by the application of pressure. GG4 has roughly twice the resistance to abrasion compared to the GG3 in objective testing exhibiting scratch depths slightly less than half the depth of GG3 when tested with the same object and applied pressure.
I know this is not what someone who is looking at a scratched screen wants to hear but there is no technology that can prevent all scratches at the time. GG4 is better than its predecessors but by no means perfect.
At least this phone isn't as easy to scratch as the Note 4. I'm pretty sure a gust of wind could scratch the cheap metal on that thing.
I ordered both of my phones pre ordered through Tmobile customer service. I've had every iteration of Galaxy S phone and never used a screen protector on any of them. Never once had any issues until now. The scratches on my phone aren't micro scratches either. The one that looks like it was from my drivers license is pretty deep and can be felt rubbing the screen with my fingernails. I'm now wondering if dust or other fine particles rubbed up against the screen that caused it. I'm just very disappointed and hope this isn't a widespread issue.
i have not used a screen protector for my last 4 phones and i have never scratched one. the cynic in me thinks these omg my screen got scratched from being in my pocket posts are from people selling screen protectors.

Yeah, no, I hate screen protectors, in general. Yet my scratches are from my pocket. -_-
Just got my 64GB S6 Edge Gold. Noticed a micro scratch on the screen when viewing it under my bathrooms lights. Samsung has some crappy QC. Perhaps I should have waited for the LG G4.....
Mine has a hairline scratch on the back and an almost invisible scratch on the front after a few minutes out of the box from T-Mobile. :/
Probably going to return this cheap $hit phone for an LG G4. 2nd 64GB Gold S6 and this one has about 3 hairline scratches on the screen. Pathetic QC.
I also have scratches on mine, One is fairly noticeable, the others are micro scratches, Very Very disappointing. I got a screen protector.
Hey all. Quick question here. I bought an S9+ without any contracts or anythign cash. I was due for an upgrade so I figured I would splurge. When I bought the phone I picked up an otterbox and a glass screen cover. I spent good money on the glass and I literally applied it right after I unboxed the phone, gave the screen a quick spray with the included solution and cleaned it up to perfection. The glass itself was annoying due to the loss in sensitivity. I set up the higher sensitivity in the phone, but I still had sensitivity issues when I noticed the glass protector was separating from the screen. Very annoying and one day I just yanked it off due to constant typing errors from inputs not registering. So I went online to Amazon and I picked up a Spigen wallet case so I could protect my screen in my pocket while not bothering with annoying screen protectors.
After a few short weeks, I noticed my phone had scuffs from the stitching on the case. I cant believe how fragile this screen is considering it was just a soft material scuffing it up so bad.
Anyhow, it's not a MAJOR issue because I do not notice them when the screen is on, but it certainly looks shady and will affect resale if I want to sell my phone. Any thoughts on buffing out the very small micro scratches?! Im nervous to take a magic eraser to the screen, but I have some at home and am tempted to test that out. Im almost curious if Samsung would warrant that, but I highly doubt it since it was an aftermarket case.
Looking for opinions. I am attaching a link to my Amazon review where I took a picture to show. Im not sure how to attach in here due to lack of file storage. Thanks for any advice.

Never had any scratches on any of mine either, but might depend where in the world you are, certain types of dust/sand that have a high Mohs scale value could scratch gorilla glass, possible your region has those where ours don't, or at least not commonly
First few days I get a new phone I carefully clean it with a proper screen cloth, a week later I'm wiping it on pretty much anything soft I am close to

Caring your phone in your pocket is not safe if you are in dusty environment. One speck of sand dust can scratch your screen. The case probably picked up some particles. The stitching can not scratch the glass, neither can keys, coins, knives etc. Only things that are harder than glass like quartz. Even a speck of quartz dust can scratch your screen. You have to keep dust, dirt, and sand away from your screen or it will get scratched.
