Screen protectors on touch screen phones?

Do you have a screen protector on your touch screen phone?? If so what do you use, and does the screen still respond the way it should?

 

Also, a while back I saw one for the iphone, body glove or shield and your are supposed to be able to scratch it with a key and it not hurt the phone. Does anyone know the name of this and if they make it for the pro and where I can find them at?

I have used (and not used) a few different screen protectors on my Eris.  The first one (3-pack) i had was the one sold in the Verizon store when I bought my phone.  It worked pretty good but ended up peeling up in the corner.  I put on a new one from the pack and got all kinds of bubbles from dust and stuff and ruined it trying to fix it, and I don't remember what happened with the third one from the pack.  I next went with Zagg.  This one went on the phone really easy and looked pretty clean, but it was sticky to the touch and I didn't really like it.  It too ended peeling from the corner.  (I work in construction and keep my phone in my pocket so that may be the problem with peeling corners).  I next found a good deal on clarivue screen protectors online and ordered the mirror finish one.  While I loved the effect, it was very hard to see the screen in the sun and got very scratched up.  However the feel of that one was almost like using the phone naked.  I would probably go with a standard protector from that company next, but I have been rocking this bad boy bareback for 3-4 months now and, while there are some small scratches (again, I work in construction), its nothing major and normally I don't notice them.  So, to answer your question, I think any decent screen protector can be scratched with a key and the phone won't get hurt, and I'm sure most brands will have one that fits the Pro.  Check Best Buy or search online to find one that fits your needs.

on the zagg site for my phone it shows you can just get either the screen one or the whole body one. Is there any point to get the whole body protector? Or just get the screen protector itself?

That probably depends on whether or not you're concerned about cosmetic scratches on the body of the phone.

I have a case (actually two) for my phone so I just went with the zagg shield for the screen. Got it at best buy in March last year. The shield is starting to look a little worse for wear, but it is keeping my screen safe from keys and other things. I remember the shield felt a little like orange peel at first, but now I hardly notice the extra layer. The bonus with buying it from Best Buy instore is that you can have them install the shield for a small fee of course. It was worth it to have the installation done by someone who was trained to do it and does a lot of them over time.
