If you want your screen to remain scratch free, then buy a screen guard.
I guess that I jinxed myself. I now have one very tiny nick in the screen. Let's remove subjective interpretations of definitions and look at some pictures. Right click and select "View Image" to see the full image.



I call the above "pre clean(ing)" as opposed to "dirty" because it is nowhere near dirty enough for me to notice anything on the screen in use. But I took these pictures because it would be a while before I had time again.



Above is a picture after cleaning, and the nick that only happened after 10 months is below the "A" in Nokia. Note that the camera has set the exposure to make an essentially black surface gray.



The above shows how the screen looks while displaying content with a lot of contrast.



The above is the first image with content that I took for this message, but it doesn't really show the screen surface.
