Simple answer is NO.

Why not?
Because it has hardened glass by Corning for a screen.

I do not intend to write with a diamond on my screen.  8)

The simple answer is, yes.
Anything to help protect the screen.

My screen wouldn't have any scratches if it didn't slide across the gravelly street. I don't think a screen protector would have totally kept it scratch free but might have helped them not being so deep. I still don't like the look and feel of a protector and take my chances bareback.

I've got marks on the screen of my Xperia Active and its a hell of a lot tougher than the screen on an N7.

I don't want to risk it.

For me a phone is a different story. It goes in my pocket with change, keys and other remnants of my shameless existance sometimes.

Let's leave scratching aside. My screen gets all smudgy and greasy looking. Would a screen protector keep it cleaner?

All that grease and smudging has to go somewhere. Some people love protection, some don't.

I don't think so. I ended up getting a hazy fog across my screen protector. I hated it.  Maybe if you go with one of those rubberized ones instead of the PET, but I don't think so. I've been through half a dozen brands, and disliked them all.

Thank you. I guess I'll just use it as is and clean the screen every now and then.

I use a tiny spray bottle of people-glasses 'cleaner'.
You can buy a little tiny bottle of glasses-cleaner from most
any store or clinic that sells eye-glasses.

I give a tiny squirt in the center of the screen and use
a 100% pure cotton cloth/rag to wipe clean.
Once a week is good.... unless you been eating
chocolates....
:P
