No case, no screen protector, only have a single micro scratch, had the phone a year and a half.
Subtle signs you might be a psychopath… /s
Dirty, cracked screen protector, slow as shit, still does what I need it to do.
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 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 have a case, screen protector, and a vinyl skin to protect the back glass from scratches too. There is literally no surface on my device left unprotected.
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.
I use a screen protector and case. I tend to drop and scratch phones so it’s for the best. No protection plan though. I should replace the screen protector as it started peeling on one corner a few months back.
I have a terrible habit of dropping (or often straight up throwing) my phone around on accident. I always use a tempered glass screen protector and a solid case that extends beyond the screen in the front.
Case, screen protector, and AppleCare+
Case because I like the way my case feels over just metal, and screen protector because my phone sometimes ends up in the same pocket as my keys and I don’t want to end up with micro scrapes. Additionally, one time I pushed off of some rocks I was sitting on and my phone was face down and I shattered my screen protector but my phone’s glass was fine.
I’ve only ever actually used Apple Care once and it was because I got a battery service needed alert about a month before care was going to expire so I got a free replacement phone - it was in the middle of COVID closures too so they mailed me a new phone and I mailed them my old one. I could probably get by without it but I’m paranoid that the time I skip it will be the time I shatter my phone before I’m ready to upgrade.
If you have a good case (like otterbox) you shouldnt need applecare. I tend to break things a lot so I figured I’d get the Applecare and not worry about cases and screen protectors. I hate cases and screen protectors.
The only thing I’ve used it for was a hardware fail after warranty but before Apple Care was up so yeah, it’s like do I want to pay for it up front or just wait and see. I don’t love bulky cases and I’m not hard on my electronics but I’m also clumsy as all hell so it’s more of a peace of mind thing.
Phone case , no screen protector. I have one crack on my screen , near where you put your ear on phonecalls.
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 full case, with built-in screen cover. The case is banged up and the screen cover is scratched up but the phone inside is still basically pristine after about 5 years. I’ve replaced the case once a few years ago and probably will again if I don’t get a new phone. In the past I didn’t use protection and my previous phone had the screen break from a ridiculously short drop so I decided to go all out on protecting my next phone. It’s worked out well because I literally toss my phone wherever I want without really worrying about it now.
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.
Yeah, specifically a hard glass screen protector - it has saved me multiple times!
IIRC the one I have atm is PanzerGlass.
i use a repairable phone. Brought a sreen protector and a case bout left my case a few weeks ago to my sister who has the same model and already some damages to the outside. The protection glass gets more and more cracks but nothing too serious
