Dirty, cracked screen protector, slow as shit, still does what I need it to do.
No case, no screen protector, only have a single micro scratch, had the phone a year and a half.
I was using < 200 euro phones until recently and never bothered to put any protection on it. But a couple of months ago, I purchased a Pixel 6 and am now using a cover as well as a protective screen.
Case only
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.
Have a case and a screen protector. The phone is in pretty good shape with no dent or scratches on the screen after 3 years, dropped it plenty of times too
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.
Case but no screen protector for me.
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.
Case and (glass) screen protector. The phone itself is in perfect condition. The screen protector has scratches. No protection plan or anything like that…
I use a screen protector and case with a pop socket. My phone is 4 years old and still in good condition. The screen protector has some small scratches but not enough to be worth replacing.
I use a case. On my previous two phones, I used a screen protector, but nothing happened. So I didn’t use one for this. And unfortunately it has a crack on the side now.
Otterbox Defender. 5+ years and still mint condition, except some paint scratches on the headphone and USB inputs.
iPhone 7 Max. No screen protector or case.
I broke the screen once dropping the phone into my sink as I was trying to prop it up and watch a video whilst doing the dishes. Replaced the screen and have since got a small scratch from accidentally putting the phone in the same pocket as my house keys.
I’ve been called a psycho for this, but meh, I like the slim ascetic of it and don’t want it to feel clunky to hold.
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.
