I don't. I also have a 770 and don't use one. There are scratches, but I don't notice them. It seems to be a personal preference thing. My screen has smudges etc... I think it gives it character.

I used my N800 for about 10 months without one, no scratches some smudges. I have an N810 without one now and I have no scratches on it yet. I guess my opinion is that I am not going to cry if I get a scratch anyway, its a tool and like all tools there will be wear and tear.

I don't use a screen protector, but I have a case that I absolutely love. The CaseLogic StrongMan PLT-2. Holds my n800 nice and snug, protects it from scratches and drops.

I've had my n800 for a month, no protector. I owned a Palm Tungsten C for years with no protector, I think they're good for peace of mind but not essential.

I use the n800 protector from boxwave..

It's kind of like Liberalism..I'm not sure it does anything good, but it makes me feel good

no protector here, no scratches either. use a microfibre cloth to keep it clean.

I also ditched the useless "sock" that the n800 came with, getting a LowePro Apex PV AW case.Big enough to hold a few cables etc, but not too big, and a partitioned compartment, with a screen-friendly panel (it's designed for this sort of tablet) so that the cables don't scratch the screen.

So where do all you screen-protector advocates get your protectors from? What's the best (quality & price)? I for one need a place that ships readily to Canada. tx

Bought this one off of Ebay:

Nice, good quality, slight squeeshy feeling when using it from the thin silicon layer (I guess). It's a matter of preference, but you never know and its alot cheaper to replace a scratched screen protector than a scratched touch LCD. Never used one on my Treo 650 but I like the protector on the N800. $8.00 is not much to have a little insurance from the weirdness that life throws at you from time to time. Heck your Canadian dollar is kill us yanks here.

I don't have one, and I am a bit sorry because I have an area along the right where the scroll bar is that is permanently scored. I think I might have spilled something on the screen (soy sauce? honey?) that permanently bonded with the screen in that area. It's not obnoxious or terrible, but I wish it wasn't there.
