Well I would suggest putting a new screen protector (Nusheild) on it
before it starts getting any worse. You probably won't even notice it
then and cheaper than replacing the screen.
Another thing to check, are you sure you don't already have a screen
protector on it? The original Barrier protector had a coating on it
that after a long time would start to chip off. I had this happen to a
120 that saw a lot of use (was also my last Barrier hence my reluctance
to replace it). So make sure you don't already have a old screen
protector on it. If you gently press up on the screen with both thumbs
it should come right loose. Nusheilds do a great job of protecting your
Newt and will keep the screen from getting any worse
(http://www.nusheild.com).
