Screen protector is pointless on the Bold 9900
Warning: Please do not try this at home.
I work at an electronics store and I tested the screen durability on a demo unit (dont ask why).
First off I took a key and tested the black glass around the screen by lightly grazing it on the surface. Left no mark. I then used moderate pressure to try and create a scratch. No mark. I then viciously started swiping at the screen like they do in the Zagg invisishield commercials with the key repeatedly. Surprisingly no mark. I then moved onto a sharp pair of wire cutters and used the sharp edge to create a scratch, I moved it over the surface of the screen as if I were painting or scribbling using more than moderate force. No scratch.
What the **** what does it take to scratch this screen I asked myself.
I then took the sharp corner of the wire cutters and started stabbing at the screen that would surely scratch the screen. If someone were to see me do this they would think I were maliciously murdering someone, thats how much effort was being put into trying to scratch the screen.
I grabbed a cloth and wiped off all of the finger print grease until it was completely clean and I took a close look to admire the damage I had dealt...
No scratches, not even micro scratches, absolutely nothing.
I then proceeded to be shocked and laughed at how a screen protector for this phone would be such a waste of money. A few days later I removed my screen protector, this was a while ago and today I have 0 scratches.
So moral of the story: the only way you can scratch this phone's screen is if you throw the thing in a barrel of diamonds and shake it. Other than that this screen cannot be scratched by any remote hazards, and a screen protector is just a scam for this phone.
Also a note, the back door cover is soft plastic and WILL scratch. I did not purposely scratch the back door of the demo, my personal phone's backing is scratched just from putting it down on different surfaces. The screen is hardened glass that will NOT scratch, unless you diamond cut it lol.
Well thats my story of the day, take it as you will.
