C'mon peeps. Use screen protectors. At mininum, screen protectors = easier time reselling. I passed on buying many N810s because of a scratched up screen, and because I kept my N800 protected, I had an easier time selling it.

yep screen protector for me
had a few touch screen phones and its easy to scratch most of them with a tiny bit of dirt or dust on your nail/stylus
you can get them cheap on ebay and if applied good you cant even tell they are there as another user said they make the phone easy to sell , people like perfect screens when buying 2nd hand phones and helps the resell value stay high
would you buy a handset with a scratched screen?? i wouldnt , its much easier to swap a scratched screen protector instead of swapping bits of the screen and invalidating your warranty
everyone to their own though but i wouldnt be without one its just much easier and like i say they are invisible when fitted correctly no bubbles at all and even easier to wipe clean and best of all no worry about scratches and replacing parts

Where are your screen protectors people? I would not dream using n900 without one.

theres nothing worse then a bit of dut under the screen protector
good tip for this
wipe the screen with an anti static wipe before fitting the screen protector this should repel dirt/dust long enough to fit the protector :-)

In the end, my n800 is in perfect condition after almost three years of use--but it is now languishing, long-forgotten, boxed up somewhere in my basement.
anyways, it was then that I realized that all those years of caring for and worrying about the front the whole time pretty much went to waste. I started to wonder why I even cared so mch about the front, I mean it's not like there wasn't spare front panels for it online. like those old people who cover their chairs in plastic. what are they saving them for?
I love my n900, but I've come to the realization that someday even it will be replaced by something shinier and better. I don't begrudge anyone for using a screen protector, though--you simply have to do what suits you, what works for me won't necessarily work for you...

On touch it feels a little rubbery and the stylus needs a greater prod but nothing major and you soon get used to it.
Sorted
i got the zagg full body protector which i think is what you are refering to. its was around 15.
it covers the whole phone and ive had it on since november and i use the phone daily. had the phone in same pocket as my keys and not a single scratch. watch the video on their website. its impressive. makes all the plastics look shiney and the only (slight) downside is the screen is slightly more tacky to the touch.
i would recomend anyone who buys this kit reads the instuctions because if you take the time to fit this properly it will last the lifetime ofthe phone.
oh and the other nice thing about these is they are 'wet' fit protectors which makes them very easy to get on and align perfectly.
not sure how they are removed yet because i havent had the need but you wont have any issues with these buggers peeling off after a month or so

not sure if this has been suggested yet, but Brasso, which may just be a local brand but it's a light brass polish, can be used to remove fine scratches from plastic

Please watch out with warranty returns you must return the product back to Zagg as they pre charge you the full cost of the product on your credit card plus postage. They also do not cover "application" errors.
This is not a credible company in my view. Very disappinting product. I give it 0.
