From what I hear, the screen is actually very prone to get scratched, I HIGHLY suggest a screen protector, personally, I have the InvisibleSheild, which I can take keys to, but it does have what everyone hates, which is the sticky factor. Doesn't bother me though, at least I know my device is protected.
REALLY should have heeded this post about the screen protector! Oh well, I only have a couple very light scratches after a brief encounter with some keys in my pocket!

Have any of you passed on cases yet and had the unfortunate experience of dropping your phone?
