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 have never used a screen protector on a phone. Also never spent more than 400euros on a phone. Currently use a OP Nord 2 with a case. I think it’s the official sandstone case. I bought the phone in Oct 2021 and it has some micro scratches on the screen. No other issues.
I use an s22 with a decent spigen case and a screen protector. I drop my phone daily due to having a bad hand. My phone is yet to break. I’ve had it for almost a year now.
I live on a horse farm, so yeah, I have an Otterbox Defender that’s kept my phone safe so far.
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 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.
Case but no screen protector for me.
I stopped using a case a few years ago since they always felt too bulky.
I just started going without a screen protector a few weeks ago too since I hardly drop my phone and when I have, a screen protector wouldn’t have saved me from the small damage it inflicted.
Aside from a little paint scratched off from a corner (phone flew out of my pocket when I jumped while wearing some baggy shorts a few months ago), it’s been going great. 👍
No protection plan or extended warranty or anything of that sort.
Case and only have a micro scratch.
