Touchscreen Long-Term Durability

just wondering how is the screen on your instinct doing?  i've had my m800 instinct almost a year and a half with a screen protector (boxwave anti-glare version).  i'm thinking of taking it off and going without to give the phone a newer look.  i carry the phone most of the time in my front pants pocket, and rarely uses a stylus, mostly tip of my fingers or fingernails.

anyone out there have gone without a screen protector for prolong periods?  how's the screen?  lots of and bad scratches?

A year with no protector here also.  BUT, I'm super careful with my phone.  I polish my screen once or twice a day and I keep it holstered in the original leather case that it came with (check it out here).
