I've never seen the need to use a screen protector since I have never scratched a cell phone screen in my life. I've tried them before but I found them annoying because they would peel off easily. Well finally the other day I scratched my first screen. To make things worse the N95-4 didn't belong to me, it's a trial device from WOM World (sorry WOM please don't stop sending phones). Right when I saw the minor but annoying scratches I pretty much crapped my pants. I need suggestions about finding a good screen protector.
How did this happen?
Well I normally keep one pant pocket dedicated to my cell. I was at the store making a quick purchase and for some reason put my debit card in my pocket instead of back in my wallet. I must've been trying to help the bagger with the groceries quickly and just dropped the card into the pocket. Three minutes later I get to my car, pull out my cell, and notice the scratches. I was livid. The raised digits on the debit card or a rough edge is what scratched the screen. Something so minor as a debit card was able to scratch the screen
Here are the pictures to prove it. They aren't really long skinny scratches. Instead small scratches bunched together. In the picture below you can see one below the 9 and one below the 1.
Huge Bummer...
In the picture below you can see the worst smudge looking scratch to the left of the 9. All the other little marks are just dust and fingerprints.
As you can see it looks pretty damn ugly. From now on with all my phones I will be using a screen protector. Also - nothing, I mean nothing will go into the same pocket as my $550 smart phone.
I have one problem though...
Which screen protectors are good? I've seen a few good reviews about a couple of brands but right now I can't remember the names of them.
If anyone can help me out that would be awesome.
Please leave a comment if you have a suggestion. Thanks!

I have seen screen protectors from Proporta, haven't tried them but think they're good. Check them out.
I am using the Martin Fields screen protector on my N95 8Gb an its is brilliant and also comes with small extra protectors for the two cameras and flash so you don't scratcht hem either.
Highly recommended
Thanks for tips both of you. I am gonna try those out see which I like.
I've also hear the clarivu? ones are good. Anybody here of those?
See this case, is awesome. 1 month with my N95 8GB and still looks like just out of the box.
I put a screen protector because the probability of the case scratching the phone, with the case Im less worried about my Nok.

Buy a screen protector by Brando. They are great. They aren't very cheap, but they're worth 10€ for one protector...
Martin fields has the camera protector as well. I just put on the screen protector as I'm not sure if the camera protector will detract from photo quality or not. I've also heard alot of good things about clarivue.
Skip the above comments and go straight for invisible shield ( http://www.invisibleshield.com/ ). It's made from Kevlar and works like a charm. I have it on my iPod, had it on my N80, N95-1 and now on N95-3. Get it and you will fall in love. You will not need to replace it as it stays on the phone very well.

wow it looks like i have a ton of options. thanks everyone for the suggestions. i'm gonna look into each brand some more but i gotta say maciek that the kevlar on the invisible shield sounds awesome.
keep the suggestions coming.
Martin Fields Overlay Plus...accept no substitute. (btw I don't use the camera protector either but the regular screen protector is WELL WORTH the cost.
