    I stopped using screen protectors a while ago. Even if I did scratch my screen it would still look better than it does with one of these things fitted. They scratch easily too so you have a permanently scratched look to prevent getting scratches. I carry mine around in my pocket and have done so for about three months now. So far there is not a mark on the screen. Its gorilla glass and really quite tough.

    Yes true no idea why i would want to keep it pristine for me to get new phone on contract later lol..

    But hate to scratch it like you say the protectors scratch too so would have to replace those every few weeks so pointless i guess because popping them on is a absolute mental nightmare.

    I use the casemate screen protectors you really easy to apply without bubbles and you can't tell it is on when you are using the phone you can get them on ebay for about £7 abit pricy but worth it as I have tried the cheap ones and wouldn't go back.

    Try applying the protector in the bathroom after a bath/shower. The damp air keeps dust down to a minimum.

    Don't have a protector myself. I like it smooth and bare.

    Still talking about the screen here...

    I bought a set of 6 from ebay for about £3.

    I was totally expecting them to be nasty, and I intended to waste the first one. (Fit the first one regardless of dust etc, smooth it all down, then peel it off and it lifts the dust particles away, then immediately fit a second protector while the screen is clean).

    As it happens I've had this fitted for months and it's bang on! Apart from the speaker/camera cutout at the top you can't even tell that a protector is fitted.

    If you absolutely must wipe the screen, I recommend a lint-free screen wipe, the ones you get free with TFT monitors, flatscreen TV's etc.. They don't leave any particles. Also an air-duster can be handy if you have access to one

    Mine came with a soft card applicator that gets reid of all the bubbles. Took about 3 minutes to get perfect fit for me.
