I got my PSP last Saturday. And it  already has a few scratches... The first few days i just had it setting out on a table inmyroom to charge, then yesterday i got a PLAYGEAR pocket... So ihave had it put up , And i keep dust off of it, And  use a towel thats smooth and meantfor cleaning glass.. But my PSP is still getting scratches.. I mean it isnt deep scratches, but how is it still getting scratches?? Is this normal for it to scratch so easily, or did i get a dud or something :D??? And before you ask, Im going to get a screen protector tomorrow... I wasnt at first but since its scratching like this, i oughta get one .

If you do get a screen protector, get the Hori screen protector. I got mine at a site called decalgirl.com. I had another screen protector that I bought that is found in most stores, and it was horrible, darkened the screen, kept forming bubbles, and kept falling off. You won't even notice the Hori protector and it never comes off...its worth the couple extra dollars....trust me!

Hori is a great brand of screen protector, as for getting minor scratches on the screen yes it's very easy to do even if you are using one of those microfiber clothes. whip lightly and make sure there's nothing on the cloth. If there's a small grain of salt on the cloth and you wipe it across the screen it will most likely cause micro scratches to form.

Just take better care of your PSP.  Ive had mine for 6 months and it doesnt have a scratch on it.  Still looks brand new.

if you live in a place that's a dirt magnet then forget all about the Playgear pocket, just use the original pocket because it doesn't have empty gaps that allow the dirt to go in.

I agree on the Hori screen protector, best there is out there. You can pick one up at TMove.net, that's where I got mine.

Perhaps when you're cleaning the screen, the dirt is scratching it when the cloth rubs it?

I use theinvisibleshield (body shield that covers the entire face of the psp) and ive had it on my psp for about 18 months or so and it has not one scratch. is the hori really that great compared to the invisible shield? i dont see how anything can be better than it given its longevity

I have no idea what you are talking about.  I have had my PSP for 5 months and not treated it with particular care and it has no scratches -- none.  Can you post a pic of yours?

I don't think my PSP is any different than all of the other PSPs out there so my conclusion is that some of you just have to accept the fact that you are careless! 

I know a child who breaks toys for fun that owns a PSP and after five months, there isn't a single scratch on the screen (no screen protector either).  If you leave your PSP lying around the house, then you are asking for the scratches to it.  You are only spending more money investing on screen protectors when you most likely don't need one to begin with.  The same people that have scratches on their PSPs are most likely the same people that get easily frustrated playing console games because they can't advance or think the game is too hard.  So they take their frustration out on the controller or game system and damage them.  No wonder people have difficulty buying $40 games, anticipating a price drop. 

I am just speaking out loud.  Then again, I could be right.  Just pay closer attention to where you keep your PSPs and you won't accumulate any scratches.

Actually, I'm really careful with mine and it has some scratches. It's bound to get some, being made of glass and not that plastic stuff the GBA screens are made of.
