Does the iPad 3 have gorilla glass on it? I only ask because after using mine for one week I already have two faint scratches on mine.

No doubt iPad with it's much larger screen will not be as tough. I've heard shattered screens on iPads are about 9% of users over the lifetime of the device. Forget scratches, if you hit it hard enough to scratch glass chances are that it's going to shatter not scratch.
That's why I bought the AppleCare+. with these devices a good warranty is a necessity.
There is an oleophobic coating on the screen to repel fingerprints. It is likely this is what is scratched and not the glass itself.

I'm definitely contemplating buying the Zagg shield for the screen, but haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

Really? Which one are you using? My main reason for not using one is I don't want to degrade the visuals of the screen and I assume even the best ones would, to some degree.
dustrho said:No jewelry at all. I'm clueless and confused at how the scratches happened. It's very disappointing to say the least.
