I thought gorilla glass was made of real gorillas?

When are we going to get transparent aluminum?

I've had some 12 different smartphones over the last 3 years and every one went in a pocket completely naked and the only one that ever had any kind of scratch on the screen ever is my current phone. It's entirely luck.

I managed to get my Nexus 4 in the first batch. Never had a screen protector. Carry it exclusively in my front pocket daily. Its there or on my desk, that's it. I have yet to see a scratch on the screen. Any screen protector I have ever seen looks like crap and makes the phone feel weird. Even if it meant scratching it, I would go without. Having said that, I do have some fine scratches on the back from setting it down on things (or at least that's my guess), but I really have never considered caring about that. Phones are tools, I'm not going to lose sleep over anything purely superficial.

I use my Nexus 4 naked and I have a few hairline scratches all over the front and back. More than I'd like but I don't like cases or screen protectors.
