Are you sure that you also removed the original 'shipping' screenprotector ?

I bought the cheapest screen protectors I could find on ebay. I would never dare touch the screen without a protector.

I also have the forest green protective case shown here: http://www.thepouch.com/nokia-N800.html (the price is $29.95 not $49.95). It is ok I guess.

i used the 'included' protection film for a month till it got all tattered then bought a $12 box weave protector which is holds up fine but negatively impacts touch screen accuracy.

So i realized that I'm gonna replace this thing in a year and decided to take the protector off, the screen is much brighter with out it and the stylus moves much more smoothly like frictionless smooth.

It's been 2 weeks and no scratch, not even slight wear showing, it's tough stuff. I'd bet that keys would scratch it though.

weird, I have exactly the opposite experience with the BoxWAVE Anti-Glare screen protector. Improves the feel of the significantly and does not at all affect the touch accuracy. Nor does it impact the display quality in any way, to my eyes of course.

I even bought another one and cut in half to restore that new touchpad feel to my laptop's worn out touchpad surface. Works perfectly there also.

Funny how people either have difference expectations of impressions of various options.

Yes, I'm quite sure.

I used the Boxwaves on my Ipaq hx4700 and very happy with it.

on my N95 I use the Clarivue and very impressed, I contacted them and gave them the N800 screen display size 90mm/55mm and they're going to let me know if they have a precut available for it.

I've had my N800 since Nov. 2007 and have never used a protector.
In the last week or so I've noticed a little scoring (not quite scratches and can only be seen under a bright light) that make an arc in the area that I normally use to scroll with. I don't use the edge of the screen but tap in the lower center and drag up and to the right.
So far I haven't noticed any resistance in this area with the stylus so it doesn't appear to be affecting operation.
I often use a lint-free lens cloth to clean the screen (dry, no solvents or water) to keep it readable as I sometimes use my fingers instead of the stylus.

I actually still have on the protector that came attached! I managed to remove the little silver tab that's used to pull it off without dislodging the protector itself. It works nicely, though it won't last forever.

Clarivue responded, they will make custom cuts...

Told me the corners will be sharp and not rounded like the other ones.
