Scratches on the glass

crystal film set

Could you be kind enough to share the link to the Apple site where you found the screen protector? I've tried searching the accessories for the iPhone and came with nothing. TIA

I just purchased the crystal film set for the iPhone. I bought at the Apple store. I must say I was skeptical about using it cause I thought it would make that beautiful screen dull. But I must say, the screen is just as beautiful as it was before I put it on! The package of 2 crystal film sets cost $14.95 and in my opinion is well worth it! If not for the scratch protection, then for the peace of mind.

Hmmm now the decision is to get the crystal film or the invisibleshield. Time for someone that has both to to do a review and tell us which one is better....

Right now I'm going with no case or no screen protector, but not for much longer. I've been pretty lucky thus far with no major blemishes. I'm basically just keeping it in a pocket with nothing else in it, but I know that I won't be that lucky for as long as I have the phone.

So the screen protectors work well? I thing I may just get a case if I find one that I like.

I thought I had a scratch but it was just the area inbetween clean spots haha.

I went to the Apple store on Sat and bought a red incase rubber and was going to buy the screen cover but when i brought it up to the register the guy told me i was wasting my money and told me to go over to the demo iPhones and try and scratch the screen..i went over and with the sharpest part of my keys and went at it scratching scraping grinding at the screen and sure enough it was still good as new, i then took out my bic lighter and ran the flint wheel (the part that u flick, which is very rough) up and down the screen once again to find the screen looking good as new. So from personal experience the screen is far more durable then you can imagine!

No question, the crystal film. I've used the invisible shield on other devices and for the screen it would not be as clear or smooth. The crystal film feels just like the original screen, the invisibleshield is slightly rubbery and your finger will "stick" more. In experience with other devices, the invisibleshield won't really scratch but it will show marks over time. I'm sure the crystal film can mark, but I don't see anything in a week of usage so far, and it's much easier to replace than the invisibleshield.

Excellent and thank you for the comparison!

I have gotten a scratch on mine as well, your iPhone is not invincible. I'm not sure how you can scratch keys against it and not get a scratch but then something less can actually scratch it.

Your screen CAN scratch and it takes less than you may think.

The "visor" looks like it would be a pain in the butt..... You have to take off every time you want to use it?

My iPhone also got 3 small scratches and not sure where it came from. My guess is it came from my belkin holster when I'm sliding my iPhone in and out. Now, I ordered invinsibleshield front screen protector to avoid further scratches. I prepared combination of holster and screen protector because it does not hide the beauty of the iPhone.
