i just wanna share a personal experience with my iphone, i came back inside from a walk and i sat my phone on floor for minute i have wide open space under where i hang my jackets etc, i sat my phone down my headphones the prong part fell down and hit my screen. i had a cheapo screen protector on it and my screen has a very small but visible scratch on it. ever since that i use a tech armor ballastic glass screen protector i got for like 12 bucks on amazon. if you do use one spend lil extra dont get the cheapo sticky ones get a glass. i regret not having it because i have major issues when i see scratch on my device it pisses me off even if its not hardly visible but i know its there so ya :-X
