I'm not sure I'd really notice a difference if the belt clip wasn't there.
And now I'm remembering why I don't like having the phone in my pocket; almost impossible to pull it out when I'm sitting down.

I use Clarivue screen protector...Its a bit pricey $9.99 (USD) for 2 of them. But they are extremely good. Ive been using one for the last 8 months without much care and it looks like i just put it on yesterday. Extremely reliable, i think its worth the price!

I used screen protectors for years with my old Palm devices. They look ugly and harder to clean than the screen itself. In all cases, after the device died, I removed the screen protector and had a pristine screen, but one that I never really enjoyed! With the N900 I decided to go without a screen protector. I have had one for over a year and the screen still looks good. I much rather enjoy the screen to its full while the device lives.
Just my ¢2.

I've been using the invisible shield ever since I got the phone. It does full body protection, and if I ever do manage to scratch it, they send me a new one for the cost of shipping (something like 3 bucks.) It requires a pretty clean environment to install, but it doesn't bubble up or peel off. I like to show it off by grabbing my keys out of my pocket, showing someone how sharp my office key is, then going to town on the screen. Not a scratch.
