Case, I get it. Screen protectors?
I never once got the thing on correctly. I almost always just get frustrated and just take it off and give up.
I especially hate those “screen protector” thing that comes with the case, since those are just a thin fimsy layer of plastic and gets so oilly and greasy…
Many people probabaly use cases, but do you also use a screen protector, or is that redundant? Every phone these days have gorilla glasss 5 anyways, what even is the point?
I’ve had some good ones and bad ones. Most of the thin plastic film ones are a total waste of time, but there are some really nice gorilla glass screen protectors that will stand up to a whole lot of abuse.
Yeah, the screens are really tough, but they’re still glass. They will still break if you manage to drop/hit them at the right angle with enough force. A screen protector makes sure that force isn’t directly on the screen. A broken screen protector is much easier/cheaper to replace than the screen.
A really good one, applied properly; you should essentially never even notice is there, but adds an extra layer of protection for when you do inevitably drop the device.
Poor quality or poorly applied protectors can be a PITA; interfering with touch detection, air bubbles, scratching really easily, crappy glue, sometimes even comming off during use. You get what you pay for.
I haven’t really noticed scratches on any device with a decent protector in several years, but I don’t keep things like keys in the same pocket either. They aren’t perfect though; I’ve broken at least two phone screens through the glass screen protector without breaking the protector itself…
Still, better to have that little bit of extra protection.
