Gorilla Glass won't prevent scratching, depends on the user whether that makes them want to use a screen protector or not. I never do, but I'm comfortable with that, having never really scratched a screen on any of my phones over the last 5 years or so.

heavenlywild: What is your reason behind avoiding screen protectors? Is it the fact that it ruins the feel, or the look?

Typically both, also they tend to accumulate more grime than the screens and affect outdoors visibility.

Finch: I really want this phone and as this isn't releasing here any time soon I am going to try and forget about it for a few weeks, come back and hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised with a release :D

P1n3apqlExpr3ss: Another case of nice build materials, dodgy build quality/QA for HTC?

One X had more than a fair share of issues, gap between display and shell, dust under display glass, Wi-Fi antenna contact issues etc. The One doesn't sound to be much better so far

I know how you feel.

I keep looking at places on Ebay with physical stock right now and considering pulling the trigger, the repairability and reports of people returning 2-3 handsets due to build quality issues (gaps in construction, misaligned ports, dead and stuck pixels, persistent hissing noises in calls and video capture) is really holding me back though.

eracode: I assume you are talking about the One? Could you put up some links so that I can have a look at some of these? Sounds scary. I've read heaps of reviews and never heard anything like this - quite the opposite in fact.
