The problem with the S8 and S8+ is finding glass screen protectors for it. The only one I can find locally is $40, and the curved edges means it cracks really easily.

Yes, I tried it for a day without a screen protector and ended up with scratches on the screen.

I've had my GS8 since its release and there are zero scratches on it. I have it in a case, but otherwise no screen protector, and no issue. I've dropped it several times, and today had the scariest incident yet -- set it on the counter and opened the cupboard to have a big can of split pea soup fall and smack right off the screen. No problem.

Scratching definitely isn't a problem. Cracking is a risk, but a basic case dramatically reduces the odds of that.
