Does the vita that lives in a case really need a screen protector?

I guess the right question is, does the vita has a glass screen like the iPhone and all smartphones or does it have a "plastic" screen like the PSP?

[QUOTE="The Cage, post: 5776873]yeah :( .. i'll wait a little if not then i'll have to get it



Same here :D



Doesn't look bad :), is it a hard case ?[/QUOTE]

Its just arrived from Amazon.

It is a hard case and does what you want it to do. Don't understand some or the reviews though, its tight as it is holding the Vita nice and snug. All the inserts were included too, unlike the one being sold in the US? And amazingly(for once) it was actually cheaper in the UK!

Reminds me of my old Logitech case for the PSP, but without the holes so helps keep the dust out. :lol:

The manual actually refers to it as a glass screen. But it doesn't really feel like one. Maybe it's coated in something, who knows

@MjW - No I don't think it needs a screen protector if it lives in a case. I'm overly cautious with my new devices, though, so I have one on

-

Still pissed that Thrustmaster/Amazon have delayed the VIP case :(. Might grab a cheapo one from GAME or HMV until it comes

It feels like a plastic screen though, my Galaxy S2 got a glass screen and you can tell the difference
and the iPhone 4 too


Nooo, it got delayed? :(

Feels like plastic to me too, but the manual says glass -_-. Could just be a cock up

I'm also rocking the S2 and Vita combo :D lol

Yep release date changed to march 2nd or something. So for now whenever I don't plan to use my Vita I just wrap it in a microfiber cloth thingy lol. Ghetto as hell

I bought the PDP grips, because of how big my hands are. The reviews make it out to be fairly stellar, I'll update you gents on how it goes.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping it was glass, then there wouldn't be a need for a screen protector.

The PSP needed a screen protector even while in a case, it was very scratch prone. I hope the Vita scores better in this department. Time will tell.

[QUOTE="F34R, post: 5778857]I hate "must have" additions to the actual console.... makes it seem like the system design was poorly thought out.[/QUOTE]

For my hands it was designed poorly. For baby hands like yours, it might be perfect. Oh snap!!!!!! :)

I got big hands and usually cramp up with handhelds after a while. I've managed to play this thing for hours on end without feeling it at all

Oh I am sure it was about a penis lol. Do any of you bad circulation in your hands while playing the Vita laying down. I start to get the pins and needles feeling in my hands and I have to let the blood rush through my arms.

Just finished installing the Hori screen protector on it. AMAZING. That's all I can say. It was super easy, and you can't even tell its on there. It covers the entire "glass" face of the PS Vita., and contours around all the buttons. Brilliant product by Hori, as always.

I don't live in anything remotely considered as dust free lol. My vita was covered in finger prints an some dust. I took the supplied cloth and slowly cleaned the face of the Vita. After only a few mins, it looked brand new again. Installing it was at first, confusing. I had to take a few minutes and think about what the instructions were telling me to do.

It's really easy.. I didn't get any bubbles, no dust, etc.

The back of the Vita is uncovered still. I don't foresee that as being a problem. I wish I had done a recording of the installation.

[QUOTE="TGO, post: 5779562]Just got them screenprotectors, let me know if they're good

Sent from my Xperia Ray[/QUOTE]

They're good. If you have experience of applying screen protectors, these are no different. I wish there was an easier process of putting it on, like on the Hori screen protector - but if you got steady hands and good alignment then you're good to go :D

When you take off the film on the top of the screen protector once you apply it, don't be put off by how sticky it feels - it just takes a while to feel smooth. Can hardly tell it's there
