Using a 1520 without a screen protector?

[hyedefinition]

I'm wondering if anyone has used their 1520 without a screen protector for an extended period of time. I'm considering not using screen protectors since they keep getting scratched easily.

How does the 1520 hold up long term without a screen protector? Especially considering that it comes with Gorilla Glass 2 rather than 3...

P.S. Have used it for 2 weeks now, looks clear for now.

Mine is fine. Just about perfect. Never had one. But if you usually have a problem with protectors getting scratched, get one.

I have been using my 1520 without screen protector for months and I have not a single noticeable scratch. Only one or two almost invisible lightly scratches that have not idea how was made but it is difficult to see it.

I was a bit paranoid after my 920 got scratched pretty bad by God knows what couple of weeks after owning it. Then had a 925 for 8 months and no scratch...have been using the 1520.

Don't know why the 925 was so much more durable than the 920 even though they both share the same protection...hoping 1520 is as durable as the 925.

I've used it since November without screen protector no issues at all...

Had it since December sans screen protected and it's pristine. I generally throw the phone into a bag with my surface pro, notebook and fountain pens. I've got some deep gloves on the body of the device - my lamy 2000 fountain pen was the culprit! It must have been a one time thing as the screen is perfect! But a think wallet style case of you're really worried! Good luck!!!!

I haven't used a screen protector in many years. Modern screens don't seem to need em.

Is better to have one than crying over spilled milk when the screen got scratched. The screen is scratch resistance, not scratch proof.

Uses one,u get great screen protecters these days that doesn't ruin the quality

I've been using mine without a screen protector for about a month now and everything still looks good.

I've not used a screen protector for the past 10 years or so and never had any major problems. I figure that anything that's hard enough to scratch a screen will slice through a thin piece of plastic without even pausing.

i don't use one on mine and it works just fine,4months already and no scratches

I haven't used a screen protector on a glass screen since a couple of months into using my first glass screened phone, an HD2 years ago. That was used daily for 4 years, then I had a Titan, both had 'standard' non hardened glass screens, and both are still fine. No case or cover on the 1520 and even the plastic body is still fine.
If you don't throw it into pockets or bags with any hardened metals, ceramics, stones, etc why would you need it?

I removed mine after a month, much better now, now i can feel the glass

I went protector-less in the first few weeks of getting my phone but got a bit scared and ordered one from Amazon. I was worried at first that I would lose the slick glass feeling but I got lucky and ordered one which felt similar to the original glass.

I've had my 822 from the day it came out, over a year and a half, besides the cheap silicone case from the Verizon store nothing else and the screen is as good as new.

no protection for mine other than keeping it in a belkin folio.
finger prints, no scratches. keep a micro-fiber cloth
handy. wipe down every few days.

Amazing responses guys, I'm gonna go bare now.

@GabrielStorm, yes sir I'm gonna use the microfiber cloth that came with the screen protector hehe.

You don't need a screen protector the Lumia 1520 is a big guy.
