I haven't used the glass ones on any of my GBs, but my understanding is the glass ones are less likely to scratch. I guess the trade-off would be that the glass ones are more likely to crack or shatter.
 
Just my opinion but if I was going to go to the trouble of replacing a piece of an old system with the intention of keeping it nice for long term use I'd get the best quality replacement I could; in this case the glass one.
 
I've used glass in a GBC and found that it was much better for reflections (less of them) than the original plastic screen.

I stick with plastic since I still carry mine in a pocket sometimes. Glass sounds better for those that don't carry them around much. I may pick one up for some of mine that mostly stay at home.

Magic Sam, I am interested in hearing your thoughts once you get it.
 
The glass one gets less scratches than the plastic one, so I'd use that one especially if I carry it around a lot in my pockets.

Have you heard of any of them cracking? I put the screen toward my leg to help protect it, so I don't think it should get beat up too much. I like the plentiful choices available in different colors with the plastic ones.

(I just went looking for "fun" glass covers and once again saw the cases I want. I know this is very off-topic, but have you decided what you will do for the Pyra case? Check out Rose Colored Gaming's DIY section for some colorful and retro inspired GB cases.)

Hi all !

@rygD : I received the new GBC glass screen a couple days ago (@EvilDragon : thanks for taking care of that order so quickly ! ). My girlfriend installed it yesterday in only a few minutes, and seemed to be pretty happy about her new screen :)

Cheers, Magic Sam

Yeah....any fundamental fumbles? Anything noteworthy? Do tell.
