I've been using a screen protector since my first smartphone (Blackberry 8330). My norrmal routine is to purchase the device, purchase a case and purchase a screen protector before leaving the store, but this time I only purchased my iPhone and a case. I'm really on the fence concerning using a screen protector this time, especially with 3D Touch and the harder screen technology that Apple has created. Not quite sure yet what I'm going to do, it's been a long time since I've used a device without screen protection and it looks ...GREAT!!!
