Do you guys use any screen protector with your ace?? And which one?

Mumbi screenprotector, die perfect fit, easy to install, and screen surface feels smoother with it.

...and then to consider whether you really need screen protector for Samsung Galaxy ACE!
To say the ace screens don't use gorilla glass thats pretty damn impressive!
Check Corning's (Manufacturer of gorilla glass) website, they say Ace got their gorilla glass.

So there is no need to use protector?

I think YES!
I have my first scratch 2 month ago because of key..
for me it's still essential to use screenguard..
Got two little scratches, really dont know how that happend.
But a phone is for me an object of daily use, so thats not a big problem for me.
Maybe there's a difference between SGA that made in Korea and the one made in Vietnam?
I mean, Corning (the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass) itself said that Ace uses Gorilla Glass and I think the video above shows us enough about the scratch-resistance factor the Ace has.
Hmm strange :/
Using Gorilla Glas doesn't mean it's automatically absolutely scratch resistant. Even the oh so sturdy Defy can get scratches under certain circumstances, so I rather play it save and use a screen protector.

I've dropped my Ace few times and no scratches at all.
Does anyone know if the camera glass is made of scratch proof Gorilla Glass too?
I also agree with you.

I'm using a screenprotector from "Muvit" for Samsung Ace and it works perfect.
I'm also using the rubber case from it.

I could only find a universal one had to cut a hole around the speaker. To apply it you have to use a liquid.
I dont use it, the ace screen seems very strong.

I may be alone in this, but I think screen protectors are overrated. The biggest danger to the screen is shattering and no screen protector will prevent that. Unless you have diamonds in your pockets I cannot imagine scratching it without breaking it completely. .

That is a good point, which would go more towards purchasing a case rather than a screen protector, though i have a major pet peeve when it comes to my screen having any sort of scratch..let alone cracks..but IMO i do believe having a well made screen protector on or screens do provide a lesser chaw of getting cracks if the device were to drop!

I am using the gadget guard screen protector, i really like it it is heavy duty, anti glare, and anti finger prints, very easy to install, can be installed with wet or dry installation. It was a little hazy yesterday when i installed it, but really clear today, took about twelve hours to clear up after wet install. But only using it till my otterbox comes in.

I agree with you about screen protector being uselessly, but with phone being so new you have to order a case, because my att store one had one, and it was for women, and the screen protector is a nice peace of mind till the case comes in.

So I just received the skinomi and got it installed. No pictures though sorry!
It was very easy to install. Came with liquid, squeege, and cloth!
It is very clear. Pretty much like the invisible shields if you have ever seen those.
Feel is also not that bad.
Fit is perfect and goes from corner to corner very well!
For less than 10 dollars on Amazon it is the best screen protector you can get.

I was using invisishield protector for a few a months. Was a pretty decent protector. Didn't tear, anti glare and all that jazz. I ended up taking it off about 4 months ago because the protector itself was scratched and to be honest, since I removed it I've been asking myself why I bought one in the first place. 4 months later, not a single scratch and I think I have enjoyed the phone more without it. Screen is clear, sharp and bright and still without scratches. Often put in my pocket with keys, lighter and other hazardous materials for out phones.

Generally, for the average person, I agree. But I work in dusty/sandy environments and every phone I have ever owned ends up with scratched on the screen, gorilla glass or otherwise.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might get a normal screen protector to put below the built-in one on the otterbox and see if that reduces the sensitivity for me.
Do we really need a screen protector?
The gorilla glass is already there right?
Is it useful?

same here, what will be the point in selling a super scratch free 2 years old obsolete phone .....
just like the slightly scratched glass on my iphone 3gs I gave to my kids as an ipod touch
I see I'm in the minority here but screen protectors just don't have the same smoothness as the gorilla glass. Coming from a Samsung Impression it felt like I was running my fingers on silk. And after 4 months of always being on my person I can attest gorilla glass is pretty kick ass. I've dropped the phone onto a gravel street and got very minimal damage. Now mind you the phone bounced, landed and skidded about 10' on the kevlar back so maybe it was just a small miracle it didn't shatter. But the only damage was a small knick in the glass on the top corner away from the touch screen and a small dent in the metal around the face. The kevlar took no damage at all. I've also had in a pocket with loose change and keys with no effect.
Now maybe I'm just lucky but the kevlar backing and silky smooth touch of the gorrilla glass as opposed to having to change screens and getting a bulky case that won't fit the HD dock just aren't comparable.
I go a couple of scratches on my screen, probably from it being dropped in the gym and all that good stuff. I went ahead and got a Zagg screen protector off amazon. It's not too bad for the 10 bucks I spent.

Gorilla glass protects from minor scratches. It's not likely to sustain a meter drop.
It's not even anti-scratch you know, it's scratch "resistant"

AFAIK,,
Unlike the popular legend Gorilla Glass does not make your phone invulnerable. It could not be scratched by materials that have lower hardness level but can be easily scratched by materials with higher hardness level such as sand or diamond.
And hardness only protects it from scratch. It does not protects from breaking which depends on a lot of physic factor.
So next time protect your phone and don't expect it to be unbreakable. Even a diamond can be cut. Hope it helps
Gorilla Glass Myths
Watch this video first: http://youtu.be/TfgKLwGnOZs
Gorilla Glass is an amazing product, it has an amazing ability to not break when impacted on the face, but when that pressure is placed on the wrong edge the distribution of the force can cause the glass to shatter so violently that it releases a spark. Gorilla Glass is not scratch proof and has no real protection from scratching, they add a anti-scratch coating to the surface to protect it. If you did NOT have Gorilla Glass, the alternative would be plastic which would scratch easier. It's not always the distance that the device falls as it is the angle it hits and the surface it lands on. I realize that to most people this won't make much sense, but if you understand physics and how it applies to the molecular structure of modern glass it all makes sense. Corning spent years analyzing broken iphone screens to develop Gorilla Glass 2 and each time they increase the properties and reduce the situations where it will shatter, people come along and exert more force and then question the quality or specifications of the product. Regular glass would have scratched or broken under a significantly less violent impact.
I dropped my note from 3 ft height maybe thousand time and the screen is ok
maybe the surface you dropped your note on is too hard with direct drop on the screen caused that
and why you replace the whole screen !! I am sure that your screen is working and your touch screen also
it is just the gorilla glass layer that is broken
and the gorilla glasse even it resists scratches but it is not enough to keep me from installing screen protector
my device note 1 today 2 meter drop on hard tiles but nothing broken

please stop dropping expensive stuff, any type of scratch resistant glass can scratch (in this case a grain of sand) or break (even heavily tested Iphone glass)
It is just less inclined to do so

If you drop a phone, it is very likely to break. So expect it to do so, and if it doesn't, next time it will, no matter which glass it is made of.

It's not just screen resistor. This "plastic film" keeps your phone screen in one piece if your phone fall. Taking of this "plastic film" void your warranty.
Screen should be scratch resistant as Sony said.

This is nonsense. There are tons of youtube videos proving the contrary.
This french video shows scratch and drop tests. Once the protector is pealed it's totally scratch resistant.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I thought so to, that's why I didn't bother putting on a new protection when I removed the original one. I also watched the videos, and I still think it will do just fine against the blunt keys and coins.
I got the scratch from normal use, carrying it in my pocket, laying on the desk and in the car. And this is the only screen I've gotten any scratches on for the last two years... The Glass-M for the Z1 is the first protector I've ever put on a phone, because I never felt the need for one until now.
Hm, miracles with this phone, like the bending story... sorry for you then...
Got off the phone with Sony. They say that it is scratch resistant as well as the back, though not as well
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I thought both panels of glass on the Z1 are DragonTrail glass? Seems like it's tough stuff.
I've seen a couple of scratch tests on youtube, and they both went very well. One used a scalpel as the final tool though, and IIRC that started to scratch it up.
I'd always leave the ASF film on the phone, and if it starts to get scratched up, I'd just pull it off and replace it with a new one. Keeps the glass in perfect condition, plus if the glass did shatter after a drop, you would be able to keep using the phone without risking cutting your fingers up. Makes sense to me...
Talked with T-Mobile Tech support and specifically asked them if they know for sure the glass under the screen is scratch resistant. The rep I talked to said specifically he has seen were people have lifted the plastic and tested it and while it is not has good as Gorilla Glass, it is indeed scratch resistant.
Funny enough, I went to the Sony store and the guys there had no idea.
It's a tempered glass and as a glass is well scratch resistant but I will not pretend to much.

I'm really really want to use it naked but i also want to protect the screen - the best thing in the phone - from any damage i also heard that the metal frame lose it's shinning if not covered by a case . But i have an idea , what about 3rd party metal frame to cover the original one ?

Mine is still in pristine condition. I remember hitting hard surface few times but luckily no scratches in the metal frame. But there are microscopic hairline scratches in the screen that are only visible in reflection under certain light and certain angle. The scratches are so faint that I have to spend several minutes relocating them. I am totally convinced this phone can go naked if you baby it.

I had the same issue, Zagg sent me a replacement but it was the same. Then they switched it to the HDX and problem solved. I prefer now the HDX since the GLASS did have some minor scratches and the HDX is self healing.
