    I always have a case, but no screen protector, the case extrudes enough from the front to protect the screen most of the time.

    I used to have a screen protector, but because it adds extra width it went outside the edge of the case and it broke. And honestly I prefer microscratches over trapped dust particles. The only reason I’d put a screen protector on my phone now would be to replenish the oleophobic coating, and I’d do it, it’s just that idk which brand I could trust to actually have a good one included.

    I use a case, one that also protects the face with high edges, also a screen protector, the hard perspex type. Well worth protecting your investment.

    I use a cheap android phone (<$120 when I bought it 3 years ago). I protect it with cheap case + Hydrogel screen protector. I’m satisfied with Hydrogel type screen protector as it still on good condition even after my phone falls screenfirst many times. There are many scratches right now on the screen protector, but it still usable and not annoying as most scratches located on the edge of screen. Most of them caused by falling sceenfirst to gravel ground and asphalt several times… lol.

    I’ve been case free on all my devices since the iPhone SE 1st gen. Tons of scratches and dings. But I prefer the way it feels in my hand and pocket, and it just works. If the scratches are too much, I get a replacement screen or device… which isn’t often

    I’ve always used a case and screen protector, but I try to shell out for nicer cases. I’ve seen that the cheaper ones do nothing to protect the phone.

    I have never used a screen protector on a phone. Also never spent more than 400euros on a phone. Currently use a OP Nord 2 with a case. I think it’s the official sandstone case. I bought the phone in Oct 2021 and it has some micro scratches on the screen. No other issues.

    I use a case since I dropped it and the back (glass) is cracked. Because I don’t want to risk cutting my hand, I’m using the case that came with the phone.

    Still no screenprotector though. There are some micro scratches, but no visible damage when using it.

    3.5+ year old phone. No phone specific insurance either.

        yep definitely a protector, just not a high quality tempered glass one. it has cutouts for the camera and all and there was a protective sleeve over it.
