Check this video on Apple's site. http://www.apple.com/iphone/technology/
It shows the iPhone already has a screen protector! That explains why you can't scratch it. PC World couldn't scratch it with keys so you couldn't scratch it during normal use!

Yeah, I see what you mean. I think that's just another glass panel on top of the capacitative panel, probably because it's too fragile to have exposed. Thanks for reminding me how insanely cool it is that the iPhone senses your touch without actually being touched!
Still, glass can scratch, though not very easily, so it would probably be good to have something covering it anyway. Remember, it is $600!

I don't run with scissors, but I do run naked with my iPhone... er, I do run with a naked iPhone that is. Nothing feels better. ;)

Agreed. Nothing more depressing than hiding your beautiful iPhone under a big old nasty case :p

glad to see you finally registered :p
Back on topic...
I don't feel the need for a case because it just makes most things ugly anyways. So its nice to know that apple went ahead and attempted to make a screen protector

That's one thing I liked about the Belkin Acrylic case. Too bad it's so poorly put together.

Protection from just about everything, and it is hard to tell it's even on the phone. I use it on my phone, ipod, macbook, and macbook pro. love it.

Nice!
They have some videos of the protector in action. I suggest the comparison stress test video. Amazing. Very impressive.
