I don't use a protector on my N800, because I think the screen will last the life of the device. I value the convenience and increased sensitivity of not using a protector (not to mention saving the five quid that it would cost).

Fingerprints are easily wiped away, and the stylus doesn't cause any damage.

But once the kids were using the tablet during a car journey and got a bit carried away. The screen now has the tiniest little scratch - not enough to affect the operation of the device, but just enough to feel the scratch when sliding the stylus across it.
