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’m not gonna disagree with the people saying “I’ve dropped my phone a million times and it’s fine”. I was there once too. Then, I dunno what my luck became, but suddenly dropping my phone almost always ended up cracking the screen. So I started using protectors.
Now, on those times I drop it just right to shatter the screen, instead just the protector cracks. Peel it off, stick on a new one for cheap(or free if you buy ones with a warranty), and continue on.
I treat them like crumple zones. The force being applied to the phone has to go somewhere. The protector, being outside, takes it first. Does it guarantee the phone will survive? Nah. But does it add something else that has to break first? Yup. And have I managed to crack a phones screen since using protectors? Nope.
It may just be anecdotal experience, but an extra $10-$50 to protect a $800-$1000 phone seems like simple insurance imo. Same with an Otterbox case(which also have lifetime warrenties).
