Not much will scratch the screen, but what does scratch it does it WELL! I pulled mine out of my pocket after scrambling up some rocks to take photos in Valley of Fire north of Vegas. I noticed a U shaped scratch about 1/2 inch from top to bottom and about 3/8 inch from side to side. It's a deep scratch, too - you can feel it with your fingertip. No dust or sand in my pocket. The only thing I can imagine is that I must have rubbed my hip against a sharp piece of quartzite rock that somehow managed to scratch the screen though my pants!
I only posted this to clarify that the screen is not THAT hard to scratch with the right abrasive!
