As I've heard several people talk about, the ID L indeed is very scratch able. I'm going to be honest though, the screen is not as delicate as I thought it would be on my blue ID L. However, after using it for several weeks and carrying it around, I'd prefer to put a screen protector. But since the screen is sort of indented, I can't get an accurate measurement of the dimensions for the screen. Could anyone help? Also, what kind of protector do you put? (E.g. Phone screen protector etc.)
