Ok, so I read the thread about people scratching their screens and realised I had to revise my impression of Gorilla Glass being impervious to scratching. I'm now thinking that maybe a screen protector would be a good investment - but I'm not sure which one to go for. On my N900 (and iPhone as well as the BB Bold I had before) I always used Martin Fields protectors and was very happy with them; sturdy, invisible, reusable and didn't affect the feel of the screen much (they are made from a glass like material). However, because of the curved glass on the N9, a rigid protector like the MF won't work very well, and indeed I see that the ones they provide are actually smaller than the screen (i.e. they don't cover the curved bits).

I've found one option which looks promising, the InvisibleShield but would like to hear what the rest of you use before I go ahead. Screen protectors are a pain to attach correctly and I want to get it right first time... Does anyone here use the IS protectors? Or some other brand? How badly do they affect a capacitive screen (all my other touch screens have been resistive)? Any input much appreciated!

P.S. I see that the Lumia 800 version of the IS protectors is about 20% cheaper, no fair!
