how scratch-resistant is gorilla glass?

Well, I guess you could say that.

Can it scratch just from things in your pocket or fingernails etc? Or do you have to drop it and have it scrape on something? I never drop or bang my phone against anything, but I get paranoid about tiny scratches, and I hate protectors because it messes with the look of the screen.

I've never had problems with it being scratched by anything in my pocket, but the very first time I dropped it, (from pocket height, mind you) after hearing about it's amazing durability, I ended up with a gigantic scratch right across the front of my screen. So, just don't drop it and you should be fine.
