To be honest, I simply hate a scratched screen. I had a Palm Pilot years ago and remember scratching the screen in the graffiti area. While it didn't effect viewing anything in the normal screen area, the scratch always drew my attention. And the cheap plastic screen protectors don't seem to provide much protection (albeit, a little), so that's why I was so completely satisfied with the Invisible Shield by ZAGG. I especially love the Invisible Shield on my cellphones as I'm alot more abusive with them.


And no, I'm not paid by ZAGG to hawk their products--I'm just really satisfied with their Invisible Shield and don't mind letting people know. I'm also really satisfied with my magnetic (shake) flashlight, the NightStar by AppliedInnoTech. Having owned a few alternative energy led flashlights, I can tell you this one is by far my favorite. Indestructible, waterproof to 2200-ft, and 30 seconds of shaking provides about 20 minutes of light (but the light dims over time...a few seconds of shaking brings it back to full brightness). I have one in the house and one in the car at all times.
