The GBA SP's screen is sealed, a rep at Nintendo told me, so you can't get anything stuck inside. I'm really not to worried about getting my SP scratched as long as the screen doesn't. I think I'm gonna get a screen protector to put over the real one, because the SP's screen is non-replaceable like all the previous GB's. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't use the SP as a hockey puck, but scratches are unavoidable.
