Man, i use a TPU cover and an "Invisible Shield", both bought at ebay.
The TPU cover helps to prevent damage to the device as a whole while the Invisible shield protects effectively the phone screen (is made of a military material).
You can find those at the links below:
TPU Case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250753752797&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Screen Protector: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220728211467&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Responding to your question: Yes! Definitely i think it's a best idea to have a cover and a screen shield, because otherwise your device will have a few scratches as the time goes by, even if you don't drop it accidentally. (IMO)
I have a protector on the back plastic cover but NO protector on the screen. I never use phone case. I always put the phone in my pants or jacket pocket. 3 months on & the screen is still like new.
Right now I'm using front and back but I want to take the front off just because the edge of the sheild getscrap on itand it annoys me

I roll au naturale.
Every time I get a new phone I usually end up spending over $60 on cases and screen protectors at the store, and within hours I just want to take them off.
So, this time... bareback.
No scratches on the screen, minor scuffs and micro scratches on back, one small indent on bezel. Dropped once onto linoleum.. no signs of damage.
Does the xtreme guard fit perfectly on the phone? I bought a 5 pack of some others on ebay, and they don't lay down all the way on the top and bottom of the phone. Because of the curve I'm guessing.
Also, is it a dry application?
On topic - I bought the phone last week and havent been using a screen protector. When I'm not using it it goes back into my belt holster case.

Ditto and 2 months here. Not a scratch on the phone. There is a scuff on the lip around the edge from when I slipped on ice and the phone went flying and landed screen down.
The my phone is naked, always Don't have one scratch or issues with dust etc.
Never use any covers or anyting. And its always like new, just dont put your phone and keys in the same pocket ant it'll be scratchless

Same here. No screen protector, no case!!!!!!
Really? I want to go naked but I'm too scared to. It feels like its going to slip out of my hands. But none of the cases do the phone justice. It just looks so nice naked.
And the screen protector...I have one and its annoying cuz it gets oily and smudges all over. But this phone is my baby and I don't want to scratch it.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
not sure whether to stay naked or cover up ;-)
Had my NS for a few weeks (and lovin' it)
First I bought a leather flip case, then thought . . . why cover up such a sexy looking phone?
then after another week I got worried again and ordered a "S" curved gel case (that looks just as good as the phone), along with a car connector and a screen protector . . .
then struggled to get the case on ! (it's not gel it's plastic) and so stiff I'm scared I might break the screen whilst pushing the phone into it
and I always seem to get specks of fluff and little hairs under the screen protectors, so I haven't put that on yet
but so far my NS screen and body has remained scratch-free and shiny
Well for what its worth...nexus s i think is made with gorilla glass which is said to be VERY hard to scratch....google gorilla glass pen test.....dude stabs a dell streak w/ gorilla glass 50 times with a bic and its fine lol

It's a phone, do you want to preserve it perfectly for the next 2 years so that the person you sell it to benefits while you suffer with a bulky case and crappy screen protector? I've dropped mine on the bathroom tile screen down and there was no damage to the screen (some slighty scuff on the plastic). You're meant to use these things, not baby them, it's a TOOL. You'll get a new one in 1-2 years (less if you're like me lol).
Using ghost armor (invisible shield) on the screen otherwise its bareback. Keep it now in a plastic belt clip that newly came out on eBay. Funny thing...Sprint don't even have the holster for this new phone

Ctai. Wow. I always looked at nexus S as my phone (captivate) on steroids...unbelievable how they dont have g glass OR external sd. Back to topic...DEFINITELY use a quality screen protector. Otterbox commuter cases are usually pretty good looking and come with screen protectors. I have a cappy with g glass and would NEVER sport it without the proper profilactics.
Sent fron Paragon Blue
I, personally, will NEVER use a screen protector. When I see friends of mine with a screen protector on their phone, it looks so ugly!
It might not be Gorilla Glass (although I doubt Gorilla Glass is more scratch resistant than 'normal' glass), but it does have this curve in the screen, and I tell you: that helps a lot.
Hey everyone, was just curious to know if you have tried out the Tech Armor HD screen protectors for our Note 2's? I ordered some from amazon seeing as they were prime eligible and go for under $7.00 I thought I would give them a shot. I'm glad I did. Installation was very simple and covers the entire screen. No orange peel effect or any kind of screen distortion added benefit too is that it doesn't feel like it's there. Keep in mind that you also can barely tell that the screen protector is on there unless you look at where the proximity and ambient light sensors are. I will post pictures soon. One downside is that it does tend to smudge a little but cleaning with micro fiber cloth quickly eliminates that. Also if not aligned correctly the edges will lift due to the curved glass display. Just thought I would give people a heads up on a cheap screen protector that works great.

Is it dry or wet?

I posted some pictures of these in the screen protectors thread. The cut is too close to the edges. I put a TPU case on after getting one installed almost perfect and it peeled the screen protector right up.

Usually I use Phantom skin or skinomi but I got this as well cause it was prime eligible. It's a dry install and it is one of my favorite screen protectors. It is a truly a glass feel. I highly recommend it. I agree with the op that it does get smudges pretty easy. Does anyone know a screen protector just like this one but supposedly a better quality.
It's a dry install

Another thing I forgot to mention was that the spen doesn't scratch or leave indentations on the protector too.

I have mine installed for 3 days now and I can not tell you how impressed I am with tech Armor. Can imagine now there is a better one. Works amazing well with spend and looks like glass . Never going back to those wet installs again as this is clearer and no bubbles.
Tech armor is basically Ghost Armor. I've been using them since my Vibrant GS. Very good screen protectors. They have kiosks at my mall.

Actually ghost Armor is the complete opposite. That is a military grade shield and is a wet install tech Armor is a dry install with material from japan

I have had a tech armor screen protector since day 1 on my phone and I have to say I am super impressed with it. There are no bubbles at all and the anti-glare and anti-fingerprint is great. Somebody mentioned smudges and it does leave some smudges, but they come right off if you wipe it. The only gripe I have with it was that the screen protector was starting to come up near the home button because the very bottom of it is very skinny, so it's hard to really get it perfect. I took small scissors and just cut that small part out and it has been great since. I've had it on for 2 months and still looks great!
I would definitely recommend tech armor to anyone looking for a screen protector because of the high quality and this is prime eligible on Amazon!
I've had JLG, SGP, and 2 different Glass SP's on both of my Note 2's and I got some cheap Tech Armor HD protectors to tide me by while I was waiting on a replacement MIME protector. Tossed them on both the Notes and gotta say I was very very impressed, especially for the price. I don't think it has quite as slick of a feel as the other "premium" protectors that are 3-4 times more expensive but if you are looking for an edge to edge screen protector, look no further! This thing covers serious real estate. Like previously mentioned, you must take care in initial alignment or it just won't work.
Tech Armor is the best dry skin protector. I have used Ismooth and I am very disappointed with the product. I like how tech Armor covers the whole front of the screen.
Can you guys send me a link, All I see is the screen protector is for a S3. Unless it fits for the note 2 too. Thanks in advance guys!

Nice, I will be ordering soon. But what do you think about the full body ZAGG - is it going to work with a tpu case for example. I read that the normal ZAGG is not case friendly - the case could lift up the protector at the edges. What do you think - should I order the HD screen protector only or the full body?
I would only get the screen if you are definitely getting the case too

Zagg HD screen protector is pretty nice.
Well at least now I know it's good. But it is expensive. I have never thought I'd pay so much for a screen protector.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
I had the Zagg full body wrap on mine when I first got my G2 (Verizon), mainly because no cases were available yet. In about the 3 months time it was on, I had it replaced twice due to the back peeling. Once it starts peeling around the corners, dirt gets in there, and it makes your phone look like crap. Eventually, I picked up the Incipio Feather and DualPro cases. Neither case fit properly with the rear Zagg on, so I removed it. The front lasted another month or so, before I eventually removed that one as well.
Getting them replaced is a joke. There are normally kids working at the mall kiosks who are little to no help. I had to inquire several times and they never had them in stock. They'd take my number down on a piece of paper and tell me they'd call when they came in the following week, but I never heard from them.

I had the full coverage version on my S3 and had no issues with it in a UAG case. I did have to get the front replaced with a "case friendly" version under warranty when the case started peeling the edges off. I never had a problem with the back piece even with 3 different cases. Just pay the $4 shipping fee. When I had to get my phone replaced, I got another set for $4 under warranty.Once it's on for a day or so, it's on there.

You have to register online and replacements are easy to get and they ship fairly quick. When you order a replacement under warranty, you can get a different version equal to what you have (or lower). You just have to send them the old one back. I didn't go with the full body version for my G2.

I bought my Nexus in march I thought i would love it. I tried it for two weeks and I hated it. I hated the build quality the way android works, it changed a lot since my eve days. So i gave it to my brother and took back my Z10. Eventually i got it back. like 4 weeks ago. And i gave back the Z10 then my friend wanted to buy a SGS5 so I told him to try out the nexus for two weeks see how he likes android now. He had the SGS2 and went iPhone. He returned it two weeks ago and cumulatively I've only ever had my nexus for four weeks. Ive started liking it.
I never bought it a case nor a screen protector. I thought i was going to sell it. Heck i couldn't return it because of some bulshevic that T-Mobile did.
My Nexus has been naked since March. It has been through three people and this is what it looks like.
One thing that Ive really disliked since i bought the device was how squeaky it is. Especially when slight pressure is applied to the camera corner. It bothers me to OCD levels

I've bought a case and a glass screen protector from spigen a couple weeks after I purchased the n5. I seldom use the case and only got around to putting the screen protector on a month ago. The case usually just gets in the way, as I use a otg flash drive and it won't fit with the case. I prefer the size of the n5 without the case as well.

Ebay has this Sandstone Case for the nexus 5. (There's a thread about it somewhere) It's very slim and most likely will not protect it if you drop it but it is very very thin and mimimalistic if you still have a case for your phone.
I currently have a black and white version of those cases. And running a matte screen protector. I might end up changing the matte to a regular protector. I'm too afraid to run it with no screen protector due to the ability to scratch it. I had a HTC One S before and saw a tiny scratch and it bothered me the whole time I had it.
I've had mine since December and not a single scratch on it. I did however use the phone with a case half the time with a glass screen protector, the plastic ones just feel cheap and grippy on the fingers. Looking at the condition of the N5 next to my iPhone 5 and S4 makes me appreciate it even more.

It's got gorilla glass 3. No screen protector. Had a tempered glass protector on it. Just didn't like the feel. Had a bumper case on it too. But I just like it better naked. I's a commercial electrician and haven't got a scratch yet. I'm sure that isn't gonna last forever. But when I do I may put the case back on
