After the screen protector is in place. To remove dust, you can pull up one side of the screen protector and touch it with packaging tape to remove the dust. Lay that side back down, and then do the other side. Crystal clean finish. That might depend on the particular screen protector and packaging tape types, but it worked here with two leading brands. Good luck and have fun. -- Google is the spammer's gateway to USENET... Google has destroyed access to the USENET archive... ...down with Google archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

I speak from experience when I say that the iPhone/iPod screen certainly *can* be scratched in the course of normal use. Screen protectors (at least some) can also be useful for glare prevention. There are a couple nice matte overlays (the names of which escape me) that can make the device far more usable under adverse lighting conditions. As an added bonus, some of these overlays have a far smoother feel than the glass -- I've found that the bare glass is prone to "catch" a bit, especially in humid areas. Screen protectors can help with this (or at least some can.) As for other protection, Griffin makes a two-piece hard shell that does a marvelous job at protecting the device from impact damage. They make one for the iPod Touch, the iPhone, and the iPhone 3G. archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone
