The clip holster has been perfect for keeping the scratches off the screen and keeping the phone protected though.

Edited to add: if you're looking for a new screen protector film, look for the ones used to protect the PSP screen. They're generally larger, so you'll have to cut them down, but you can find them on buy.com and other places for 2 bucks, rather than the 9 or 10 bucks they want for the same film cut down for the Storm screen.

Thanks, I thought the phone had a protective film on it but I was obviously wrong. Any tips for trying to buff out any of the minor scratches I have on there now?

Can't help there. Yours didn't come with a film on it? Mine did, and it's been a godsend. I'm god awful about scratching the shit outta phone screens. My Curve and Pearl look like I dragged them through gravel.

I usually scratch the hell out of mine too. So far my phone's screen is pretty damn clean. The rest of my phone looks like it's been ran over several times. How the screen has managed to stay virtually scratch fee, I have no clue.

Mine stay pristine for about a month and a half. Then I get careless. I put my phone in one pocket, make a mental note that it's in that pocket and that I need to throw my keys in the other pocket, grab my keys, remember I gotta put it in a different pocket, and then blank for a second while I throw my keys in with my phone. Then, ta-da, I gouge the shit out of the screen in the .25 seconds it takes for my brain to realize what's going on and pull the keys out. Hurr durr, I'm retarded.

Hey corey, here is the link to the slacker I am using. It works but it's not for storm, you can't click the screen you have to swipe to get it to move to the options, but it works.

I think it does have a thin film on it but I can't tell. It won't come off easily but I am hoping that I could get it off using a sharp edge. If there is one on there I will be very pleased. Gonna order new ones tonight.
