It would probably be fine, but I would use a screen protector sheet anyway. The
advantage of using screen protector sheets is twofold:
They protect the screen from scratches (of course!).
They improve the feel of the screen. The plastic film of the screen protector
provides a little more friction between a stylus and the screen, more like a pen
or pencil on paper.
