Do you use a screen protector?

Is a screen protector necessary at all with the modern tough glass?

That's a question with a different answer for everyone. Do you really need to use a seat belt? Do you really need medical insurance? Should you install anti-virus?
With the advances in screen glasses, there is a lot less chance of getting scratches. If you are like me, my electronic gadgets are usually in one of my pockets and I'm eventually going to rub it with a key, coin or pen. I'm also pretty good at dropping things which is why I use cases.
Bottom line is you don't really need one, but some day you might wish you had one.
Bubbles can be avoided with patience. Before installing your screen protector, make sure the screen is clean. Peel about an inch of the backing and line up the screen protector. Using a credit card, slowly scrape the protector as you peel the backing.
The trick is to go slow and keep scraping. Don't give air bubbles a chance to form.
You'll get better every time you install a new screen protector.

Likewise, I didn't care much for screen protectors either until I used the Gumdrop's non-sticky version. For me, this is much better than those adhesive protectors.

The glass is made by Corning but is a far cry from Gorilla Glass. I have a couple of grooves in mine that to me look like The Grand Canyon. Little bit of embellishment...::) This is a description from the Asus site.
With a vibrant 1280 x 800 high-definition display, Nexus 7 brings apps, games, books and movies to life. New ASUS TruVivid technology improves color clarity and brightness, while the IPS panel delivers crisp and detailed visuals with ultra-wide 178ﾟ viewing angles. Scratch-resistant Corning® Fit Glass and a textured chassis design that prevents hand slippage ensure Nexus 7 is incredibly robust and meets the demands of consumers on the go.[/URL]

A screen protector is not really a necessity. I wouldn't leave home without one until over Thanksgiving my brother assaulted his screen with his keys to demonstrate the durability. After that i took mine off. Regardless of the style, they all tamper with sharpness and clarity in my opinion. Unless you drop kick your device down the road like Barry did, there's not much to worry about.

I agree. The way mine went down , the protector would have been ripped and I think still scratched.
