Should I take off the screen protector?

[AndrewL920]

If you are rich then take off that screen protector or back cover. If not, then use a screen protector and back cover.

Here's your answer...

I had Zagg originally, but removed it because I didn't like the way it feel in my hand.

On my previous phone, the salesman installed a screen protector on it before it left the store, and when the cheap in-store protector got crappy, I replaced it with a Zagg screen protector. Not long before I was done using that phone, I peeled the screen off my phone, and it opened up my eyes. The screen protector was so gross, and it was amazing how much brighter and more vivid the screen was after I peeled off that disgusting protector. I bought my 920, and I never put a screen protector on it. Now, using it since the day it went on sale on at&t, I have a few superficial scratches on the screen, but that is far more preferable to having the screen protector on it.


Edit: Attached is the removed screen-protector from my Focus. Approximately 6 months of use.

Haven't used one for quite awhile and it hasn't been a problem on my last two phones (1020, Icon). I did get some minor scratches on my 920 screen which were annoying, but the newer phones seem to be more scratch resistant.

Obviously, you have to treat the phone like it has no protector while doing this. Don't put it in the same pocket as your keys and don't put it face down on uneven surfaces. Be wary of jeans with hard metal buttons near your pocket and always keep the screen facing in so if you bump a doorway or whatever it's not the screen taking the hit.

I have been using my 920 without screen protector almost 3 months now and it is scratch free. Used to accidentally dropped it on a gritty hard surface and the screen got no scratches at all. I just clean the screen with any fabric on sight such as my pants or my shirt. lol. superb screen!

Took the protector off yesterday. In the next two weeks, if it gets any scratches I'll put a new one back on. Now this is my yolo moment lol

Hi, just wondering how your 920 is coping without a screen protector? I've had mine on for a week now and already thinking about taking it off. Thanks

Is there a good glossy (non rubber feeling) screen protector that covers the edges of the 920? I currently use the one from xtemeguard and it serves the purpose but the surface has a rubbery texture and feeling to it.

Hi, did you find a screen protector that doesn't have a rubbery feel? I'm using one of these Nokia Lumia 920 FRONT SHIELD Invisible Screen Protector:Amazon.co.uk:Electronics and I don't like the feel of it. Thanks.

Illumishield are great screen protectors on amazon , cheap with a lifetime warranty, fit perfectly and are of the PET plastic type.

The lifetime replacement warranty is awesome and hassle free

Not even a single scratch so far. Obviously you have to wipe the fingerprints now and then (use only microfiber cloth for this!)

Thanks for the response. Do you keep yours in a sock or pouch or totally unprotected?

Thanks but can't seem to find these on Amazon UK store.

Nothing, not even a flip case (I hate it). Clean the screen with any screen-cleaning solution and you're fine.

A brave man indeed, but I've just taken mine off too - yikes! But, the screen feels so good.
I'll clean it regular as you suggest and keep an eye on it, first scratch and it'll be getting protected again.

I let my lumia 925 unprotected since unboxing. Reveals the true beauty of my Lumia, especially this eye catching amoled screen looks great without screen protector.

The problem is I can't use it with my left hand if the flip case is on. I do put a case that covers only the back though. And videos looks way more awesome without the dang screen protector.
