Some might say better safe than sorry but these screens are much more durable than one would think. Below I put a few of these glass screen players though some rather harsh scratch tests, well beyond what the vast majority of users might experience."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1240453457.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>I have a screen protector on my phone in fear that the abuse I put it through will leave an unreadable screen. anythingbutipod puts four PMPs through a torture test to see if screen protectors are really necessary. The videos they provide are painful to watch, but very educating. I am happy with the results and it is something I'll keep in mind in the future. Still, the PMPs they test aren't the same kind of screen that my HTC Kaiser has so I'll keep up with the screen protector ritual. Is anyone convinced with anythingbutipod's results or can screen protector manufacturers breathe a sigh of relief?</p>
