Should I purchase screen protectors?

Hey everyone. I was thinking about buying Mario & Sonic: OG and seeing as it's pretty stylus heavy I thought I might pick up a case of screen protectors beforehand. My question is are the protectors reliable? I've heard they are rather hard to peel off once u place them on the screen which could be a problem (I always seem to place stickers on crooked/screwed up). Should I give it a shot?

the screen protector didn't help my screen at all it ruined it.

I'd say, screen protectors are good and work for what they were made for, but yes the screen seems a little less responsive... also... I don't use screen protectors because, if you don't take hours putting them on sorrectly, you get nasty air bubbles that don't want to come out even with that soft card thing, and then the protectors are not the same size as the screen, so you're left with a gap around the edges which come full of filth and crumbs which you can't get out unless you take the protectors off in the first place...

What I'm saying here is, screen protectors are good, but they make your DS (or at least mine) look dirty and messy :/

I have a couple things to say.

Screen protectors were created to protect the screen, and if they in turn ruin it, YOUR DOIN IT WRONG.

If the gap around the edge becomes filled with crumbs and filth, i suggest you dont play ds while eating cookies, and you wash your hands more frequently.

I bought the first screen protectors i laid eyes on at kmart 2 years ago, have np problems with them, and they cost 4 bucks. I peel an edge up occasionally to make sure no damage is going on, and it isnt. I still havent replaced them. Theyre not getting scratched up, nor causing any damage, so why should i? And, I find the difference in touch screen sensitivity to be negligible.

*sighs* well I apologise for doing two things at once... and HEY I do wash my hands all the time...

Anyways... I say they do what they are supposed to if you put them on properly... that's why I said (or at least mine) :/

It depends on wheither you have an original DS or DS Lite. The DS Lite's screen is more scratch resistant than the original. They also make the touch screen on DS or DS Lite less responsive and hard to see. If you have a DS Lite, then you don't need them. Just be gentle on the touch screen when using a stylus. BigN64

What kind of screen protectors have you used? I have never experienced these problems. Of course screen sensitivity is reduced a bit, but its almost un noticeable. A recalibibration will make it null.

i brought a screen protector a few monts ago for my ds lite because i was getting zelda phantom hourglass (which is totally touch screen controlled) and the screen protector is great. i've had no problems with it so far. and the sensitivity is the same as it was before i put the screen protector on. it's fine

Yes, you NEED one. I bought my DS 2 months ago and it would be screwed already if I didn't buy one. You just need one on the bottom screen. Clean the screen well and then put the protector fast. It shouldn't take "hours" to put on... Removing the protectors is very easy, use a piece of paper. Don't remove it because there's an air bubble, you will only make it more dirty.bloodling

I agree
Especially if you play games that require alot of use of the touch screen, e.g The Legend Of Zelda: PH or Pokemon Ranger

Well, it's of hard to say. I have that game and it does use the stylus a lot, but the screen protectors make the touch screen less responsive and and they are hard to get off. It also depends on what type of DS you have, because the DS Lite's screen won't scratch as easily as a regular DS. The screen protectors are more trouble than helpful.rockwii13

I agree

No, They're not very good. GamerJM
