Few days back when I purchased a new touch screen phone, I was worried about the screen as it as getting scratches from everyday use. Finger prints on screen and then cleaning again and again was making it dull and with fine scratches too. Not only phone, any gadget screen and body are likely to get scratched from everyday use so there should be something to protect it. InvisibleSHIELD which is thin protective film made from military grade material is a very good option as its very strong and also protects for all kind of scratches. See the invisibleSHIELD video for the interesting test which shows the durability of InvisibleSHIELD.
