I bought a Zagg screen protector for my new Samsung Instinct and applied it to the phone about a week ago. Zagg sells full body protection with two separate pieces, one for the screen and another for the back and sides.
I only purchased the screen protector because they are rather expensive, $17 including shipping, just for the screen protector. I also plan at some point to get a silicone case for the phone so protecting the rest of the phone would be pointless.
Application was fairly easy, but then I've installed window tinting before so that may have helped. As long as you follow the instructions, you shouldn't have much trouble. I have watched the video and it looks like the back and side piece is kind of difficult but I can't say since I didn't buy it.
The screen visibility doesn't really seem to be affected by the protector and it seems to be a fairly rugged film so I am sure it will hold up for a while. My only beef with the film is that it has a little grip to it. This probably isn't a problem with iPhones but with a phone using a resistive screen that requires pressure, it's hard to use smooth sliding motions to scroll.
I would rather deal with the slight annoyance of sticky scrolling than to have my screen get all scratched up. Zagg has a good product but it's a little overpriced IMHO.
