I am so sad, I got a brand new iPad 2 a month ago, I basically babied it, whenever I wasn't using it, even for a minute, I would put the cover on it, then one day, while playing minecraft pocket edition, I noticed a scratch! Wtf!? Only a month old, basically babied, and has a freaking scratch right in the middle, 2mm long! How could I get a scratch?! Now I always notice it, not only this, but a very bad $50 android phone, which I have dropped countless times, hardly looked after, doesn't have a single scratch on it, and it is half a year old! People also say they still don't have a scratch after a year of use! This is so s*** it's only a month old, has a very protective cover that is always on it when not in use, and already has a scratch!, my cheap android phone which was always dropped, and was even left outside for 3 days doesn't even have a scratch" FML...
Just get a screen protector. I recommend Ghost Armor. Best money can buy in my opinion. and with the screen protector on you can't see the scratch(or that's at least what their ads say lol)
I took off the screen protector for my new iPad and I am glad I did. The screen looks so much better with it off.
I have a iPad 2 from launch and it has no scratches ,I have An iPhone 4 from launch and no scratches. I had an 3GS and tried to put a protecter on but I eft a little bubble in the corner and it didn't look as good once I smoothed it out. I took it off and never looked back.
