If you want near flawless get a screen protector and case.
Otherwise enjoy scratches.

Screen protectors and cases take away from the experience.
You know what else takes away from the experience? A beat to hell screen.
How so?
My screen has an extra protection, my case offers a more holdable experience, and (hopefully) project it against drops.
I'm not knocking caseless use, but there are consequences to ones actions, and caseless use can certainly cause excessive wear and tear.
Personal opinion and choice.
My case makes it nicer and easier to hold my X, and my tempered glass screen protector actually feels very smooth and responsive. Plus I can replace the screen protector every few months so it is like new all over again - no scratches, new oleophobic coating, etc. Both should add some protection of course, too.
Enjoying the experience just fine
I've never scratched the display of an iPhone in 10 years, I'm sure this will be no different.
Screen protectors are for suckers.

Agreed 100% The coating is WAY better!!!!!!! and I have Zero scratches putting phone in jeans pocket everyday since launch...
Don’t look for micro scratches that are only visible under bright light. Put a screen protector if this is concerning you. I used to care about these sort of things but since joining IUP with Apple Care I stopped caring. Why should I? I don’t need to sell the phone after a year and is essentially a lease. I love having a naked phone!!!
You are absolutely correct, leather can have all of the qualities your saying, it's also more abrasive when new. Leather for wallets, belts and shoes are the most processed of all. I hate screen protectors, and never use. My iPhone only goes into an empty pocket, just sold a iP6s some very minor micro scratches after 2 yrs.

No screen protector for me and no scratches (not even micro scratches). I'm pretty reckless with my phone as well.
I took off my Nuglas the other night to replace it with the Spigen glas.tR and OMFG there is a micro scratch across the front glass – It couldn't be cleaned or rubbed out so it's definitely a scratch.
I never had the glass open to scratches except the first day when I was playing with it at work before putting a protector on, and in between putting protectors on.

[doublepost=1510784797][/doublepost]That’s nonsense mine is full of deep scratches do you have an iPhone X? if you don’t why are you defending it?
How is that stuff? Never heard of it until I read your post. Any concern of it eating away the oleophobic coating or anything? Do you have to reapply it every so often?
EDIT: Doesn't look like they ship to the US :/ (Dutch company)

This showed up on wife’s X 4 days after unboxing. Not a mark on the 7. I’m convinced a coating was changed/missed
Mine is being treated exactly like my 7 was, along with the 6S and 6 before, and all the other phones.
Those other phones get put through a lot. My 7 has been around the world with me, including in sandy pockets on the beach and in the water and everything else. They do show some signs of wear, but their screens are absolutely pristine.
My X has never been anywhere but my pocket, my hand, my work desk, and my home desk and bed. My X has several of little micro scratches along the lower section of the screen and now has several bigger scratches on the screen as well. I'm talking scratches that can catch your fingernail. Freshly washed jeans (And yes pockets washed inside out), my desk isn't full of diamonds, hunks of metal or glass, etc.
There's something off with at least some of these screens.
