Paddltread,

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.

CarbonOtter,

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.

hejsan,

Case but no screen protector for me.

Kleysley,

Case and (glass) screen protector. The phone itself is in perfect condition. The screen protector has scratches. No protection plan or anything like that...

CannotSleep420,

Look into liquid glass. Relatively cheap and easy way to make your phone screen more resilient.

SillyJester,

I was over the moon when my new phone came with a screen protector preattached. I also use the eco case which was included on the inside. Nokia X10 btw.

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.

Glass screen protector. Rear leather skin from dbrand. Insurance from my bank.

I always used a flip case to protect my screen from scratches but after the case disintegrated, I realize my screen doesn't get scratched in my pocket and it's not as bulky.

iwan2c,

Screen protectors are kinda expensive and break very often. I calculated it's cheaper to replace my screen (which feels a lot nicer than a scren protector) whenever it breaks.

Shlomito,

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 have an exuberant 3 year old (child, the phone itself is 4) my phone has taken a couple of flights off the second floor balcony. Otterbox and screen protector, no scratches!

  1. I use a drop-protection case, but no glass-protector. Not really necesarry for me.

  2. I have had my phone for close to three years and gone through three or four cases, but it is still in pretty good condition. No scratches or microscrated on the body or screen and no dents.

DarkThoughts,

Nope, none of that. Pristine condition. Never needed any of it for any of my smartphones.

ProtonBadger,

I always use the same cheap black TPU Spigen cases with raised edges to protect the screen from drops on my phones, sometimes Android sometimes iPhone. No screen protector, no plan, no scratches. I have had mobile phones since the Nokia 2110 and never cracked a screen or had dents. There's been a scratch a few times but most often not.
