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 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.

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.

Case but no screen protector for me.

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.

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

cheap case (no front cover), stock (came pre-applied) screen protector thats scratched to hell from my nails swiping across it. thats it, no cracks or other damages except miniscule (like 0.5mm) chips in three of the corners from dropping it constantly.
