There is a lot of dirt and grit that can get to the face to the phone due to my job and it really scratches the screen (makes it hard to see). I am just reapplying the clear plastic screen cover not a whole case around the phone. The phone is naturally purple and do not want to cover up the elite color of the phone. I don't want to scratch the hell out of the screen either. I figure I will need to replace this ever couple of months due to the type of work I do at work and at home.
