How scratch-resistant is the built-in screen protector, and can dust get underneath it?

Screen protector works well. I've yet to see any dust buildup underneath it after 3 months of use.

it is easy to scratch and stuff does get underneath it.....as well the case that is hard the corners are easy to break off without any rough use whatsoever.

From scratches on the screen, yes, but not from breaking or cracking. This is not a case.

i have used the adonit jot for about 3 months and i dont have any scratch in the screen... however, if you want to be relax, buy a screen protector... it would work in the same way....

no...not at all. I have actually received compliments on it and people wanted to know where i bought it..and this past weekend and went for a run and dropped it 2x and its scratch free! i was so surprised nothing happened to the phone...but after two drops while running...the phone is still perfect!!

The cutouts are coated in a smooth white layer over the metal. I've never had any problem with scratching.

The iPhone 5 has a really resistant screen so I don't use a protector. Haven't had a scratch on the screen since the phone was bought at first release.

No, there's not a screen protector per se, but just closing the cover when not in use provides protection. I've not had a problem with scratching and I use my Kindle Fire several times a day.

I do not know about that partcular protector, but I do not think this is scratched easily. I have dropped this countless times and have traversed the rugged outdoors with this. So far so good.

The cover is self-healing. So you won't permanently scratch it with anything, including long nails. Small imperfections that you see in the protector heal over a day. When I pick up my tablet every morning, the screen protector is brand new.

The hard plastic is resistant to any scratches, I have had the white one for three months. The hard rubber is thought to get off once in place but does not scratch or peal off. Know that there is no screen protector. That said, I love this case

It came with a plastic screen protector. The dust gets in no matter what, but it's not bad. If it is exposed to a lot of dust it will eventually get in there...I clean it every othe let week or so.

The back of the model I got is hard plastic and seems pretty scratch resistant. I do have one scratch on it, but it's not obvious. Overall it's a good ipad protector.UPDATE: Oh dang - I just looked closer at the back of my case. it IS metal after all, not plastic as I thought. It does have a very minor scratch. As another person said, the raised tabs on the corners generally keep the back off of whatever you set it on. It's a good design.

Glass, and I very seriously doubt it. That being said, I've had this screen for about 8 months and don't have any scratches on it without ever having used a screen protector. Absolutely get a hybrid (dual-layer) case for the phone, though: as slim and lovely as it is without one, it's incredibly fragile. I went through two screens before I figured that out. This was the second.

I can't remember, maybe. The one that comes with the cases aren't nearly as nice as the screen protectors that you can get individually that say they are 'scratch proof'. They come off easier and the edges come up faster and they don't go on as nice. They have air bubbles that are very hard to get out. That has been my experience.

It hasn't scratched mine, although I do have a screen protector. But there aren't any scuffs on it. Nothing really sticks up that would scratch it.

My daughter has had hers for a while now and uses it daily with no problems. She has a case for it and still managed to fling it across some cement last weekend without breaking the screen. It's scratched but no pieces chipped off or missing.
