I've managed to scratch mine too, though the scratches are odd.

They're tiny little holes that have started to appear all over the screen...I can only assume it happened while in my jeans pocket.

All the little spots you see in the images below are actually holes. The one above the camera is by far the largest... the others are otherwise usually not visible to the naked eye, unless viewed at an extreme angle (getting a picture of them was not easy).

are there any screen protectors for the N9, and does the screen have an oleophobic coating that would be lost if i added a screen protector?

they better not say, "here's a Nokia 800 as a replacement!"

more than likely they will say scratches are not covered but worth a go! Still not convined it is a scratch though!

There is, here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/IPG-Nokia-N9...#ht_5536wt_876

I ordered the "full-body" N9 version directly from his site (not ebay). It arrived in a few days. My N9 is still in the post so I have no opinion on whether the protector is good or not.

EDIT: I do not recommend this screen protector. The cuts were not accurate for the camera/sensor holes and left a few millimeters gap between the top of the screen and the casing (the bottom portion of the protector was aligned flush to the casing). once I got the protector applied with the water/soap mix, I did not like the feel at all. Perhaps it needed to dry first, but it was not a smooth touch (rubbery) and air bubbles/stress marks were visible everywhere even though I applied with the squeegee. it looked a mess if you angled it beneath the light a certain way and made the N9 feel like a cheap phone.

I used the protector for the metal camera frame on the back (comes with the full kit). Again, it's several millimeters too short to fit perfectly, but it should prevent scratches to the metal and it was easy to apply because it was small. the rest of the full body kit comes with pieces to apply everywhere else and I'm not even going to bother, will just use the rubber case that came with the N9.

For reference I'm coming from using a Vikuiti DQC-160 screen protector for the N900 for 2 years which required no adhesive to apply, which I prefer. I think I'm going to try out their CV8 protector since it seems like the DQC kind of protector (would like to hear opinions on it or other protectors).

EDIT 2: I went for the Vikuiti adqc27 instead. It hasn't arrived yet.

Sorry to hear that mate....
It's probably because of the very narrow gap they have between the panel & outer layer/s?
The thing they tout as contributing towards the icons seeming to "float on the screen".

bad luck with some mineral dust in your pocket would do it, or some girl in a bar with a diamond ring..
Indeed.
I have scratched my ip4 and GS most probably this way and as i'm keeping N9 for +1 year it's just matter of time before N9 gets some marks.

Having had a close look to this phone: it's far from durable.

The fact that the screen's outer layer is designed curvred, to touch the ground first is of not much help either.

Good for the anti shok rubber manufacturerz.

Yeah people have already pointed this out, long before you.
Just a down-side of the design, everything has a down-side.

Also, apparently the silicone case that comes with it isn't designed to protect the screen.
So we'll have to wait for better designs...
A better design though will mean a less seamless swipe, we can't have our cake & eat it.
