Don't think you need a screen protector?

[jjtheprince]

Well check this out...I dropped my phone while on a hike bc my 3 year old accidentally hit my arm while I was trying to take a picture of something.

The phone took a nearly 20 foot fall down onto some rocks and landed hard face down. You could even hear a "bang" as it hit. I was worried it was destroyed when I climbed down to get it, but my screen protector did its job and saved my display. The polycarbonate cover on my case also cracked, so I have to replace a case and a screen protector, but my phone doesn't have a single blemish & seems to work just fine.

My phone is insured by AT&T, but if my screen would have shattered I would have ended up paying a lot out of pocket for a damage deductable. In this case all I had to do was peel off my shattered screen protector and I was good to go. Here's a pic of the damaged screen protector.

Thanks for sharing, but no, I do not need a screen protector and never have, but that's Just Me, D......Everyone's need varies.

Well not everyone is out & about in nature with their phones or has kids lol. All I'm saying is that my Spigen screen protector I bought on Amazon for $8 saved me $199!

To answer the question in the title: No.

I think I'm good without one.

I went without one on my 4 but when my 5 scratched within the first week I've used one from then on.

Is the OP's screen protector glass? Looks like it is by the way it shattered

Screen protectors IMO are necessary because Karma gets you every time. I know a lot of iPhone users who have broken many screens and frankly got tired of the repair bills. Cheap insurance is better than a costly display.

Yes, it was a Spigen glas.tr slim tempered glass protector.

I think what I really need is some sort of neckstrap setup for it while I'm out picture taking. I've never dropped my Nikon D300s because of that lol.

Nope...sure don't.

 

[knotsure]

That is a big YES for my wife and I.

 

[Not Quite Right]

Nope ...

I put a screen protector on mine minutes after receiving it. I'm too afraid of getting those hairline scratches on the screen.

I'd rather avoid three-year olds than use a screen protector.

To each it's own. Some use them and some don't. I personally use tempered glass protectors because I don't use a case.

I use one as well cause I'm clumsy like that. Always tempered glass as well, cant stand the plastic stuff. Glad to hear yours survived op!

At first I did then felt like I never dropped it so I took it off. I was at a bbq and dropped my phone on the pavement and had to pay to get it repaired because Apple wouldn't fix it because the body of the phone bent. Now
I always use one and I have a clear casemate case on it

While it's nice to have one on, but I actually like it without it.

 

[ReggieTee]

No one ever drops their phone on purpose. Accidents happen, so yes.

Same goes for me.
