No case, no screen protector, only have a single micro scratch, had the phone a year and a half.

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

Dirty, cracked screen protector, slow as shit, still does what I need it to do.

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 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 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.

Phone case , no screen protector. I have one crack on my screen , near where you put your ear on phonecalls.

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.

Case but no screen protector for me.

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.

Pixel 7 with a case but no screen protector. I realized that scratches on the screen are easily avoided and breaking the screen won’t be stopped by a thin piece of plastic.

It seems to me like most phones are designed with the idea that you’ll use a case. Trying to use the phone without a causes my palm to hit the screen constantly, resulting in errant touches my phone tries to respond to.

Ideally this phone lasts forever, that’s the idea, anyway.

Yeah, specifically a hard glass screen protector - it has saved me multiple times!

IIRC the one I have atm is PanzerGlass.

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

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 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.
