    I've always used a screen protector on my phones, but for the past 2 months, I went ahead and removed it from my Galaxy S10, since I'm going to upgrade soon. I have to say, the tactile experience without a screen protector is something that I've fallen in love. Bare in mind, Gorilla Glass is pretty sturdy. So is Ceramic Shield on iPhones. For everyday use, I would go without a screen protector, just a good case. If you go to the beach, skiing, mountain biking on rough terrain or worknin construction sites on a regular basis, put on a screen protector. However, the tempered glass ones crack easily, and they're 15-20 dollars a piece. Sounds like a lot of hassle to put one, and having to change it after 1 bad drop because it cracked. Again, Gorilla Glass and Ceramic Shield don't crack as easily ftom a drop as you think. Again, the tactile experience on a premium display is unparalleled. Using a protector, cheapens that experience. It's like buying a nice Bentley with a sweet leather interior, and then putting 20 dollars worth of plastic sheet on top of it.

      I can't believe I didn't do it in the 1st place. It's just a normal good screen without it. They made out if I take it off my screen will be so brittle it will break🤦‍♂️😂

    • @thereviewer6517

      True! Its the case with raised edges/lips that protects the screen of a phone not the "screen protector". I dont really get how people cant understand this.

      I agree. I've been using my s21 ultra for over 3 years now with no screen protector and my glass crystal clear. The case is super important though. I use a $75 otterbox and have dropped my phone a few times.

      All it takes is one day where you put it with your keys in your pocket. It will get scratched eventually if you are unlucky.

  • @MK-Turtles
    @MK-Turtles 9 місяців тому +7

    It depends on which device you have. However, the new ones have stronger screens, and I suppose a good case with raised edges should do the job. If not, you can even modify the case by raising the edges with some other materials. Just use your creativity.

    If you did not buy AppleCare+, it's a bad idea not to. If you bought AppleCare+, up to you but probably a good bet. But since we now finally have screen protectors that cover the entire display, you're not losing out on anything. Ceramic Shield is great, but if you're a normal person buying a phone to use for years, get a screen protector and a case.

    How can tempered glass be scratched by soft key metal? That doesn't make sense. You'd need a harder material to replace it. That being said, I like the plastic style protectors because they never crack. But they do eventually scratch, although I've kept the same one for 3 years now and I can see just fine.

    I went naked for 3 years on my iPhone 13 Mini and had no issues. When I sold the phone it only had a few small scratches. I wouldnt say Im a compulsive clumsy dropper but in 3 years I droooed it quite a bit..even from a moving motorcycle once. I always had a good phone case though. It has to have a good raised lip and be fairly rugged. I recommened the Smartish Gripzilla. The experience is much nicer going commando on your phone screen lol. Feels and looks nicer plus the lip will actually extend higher without one. That being said , my teenage daughter always uses one amd I wouldnt have it any other way as she drops her phone multiple times a day.

    I used screen protectira for like 10 years and back then it was a good decision because I got a new phone every two years and my previous one was still in perfect condition. But now I started using my phones a lot longer. My last phone was a seven years old iPhone with no value anymore. At first I had a screen protector on it but the last year of its use I did not had a screen protector on it and it felt a lot more premium and smooth. At the end it got a scartch somehow but I don't really mind if I don't sell it. Now I have a midrange Android phone and definitely not installing a screen protector. Phones look much nicer without it and it is an item of use.

    I have a screen protector on my phone but it has alittle dust under it and it might be time for a new one. It's not sand it's just plain dust. Will that harm the actual screen or scratch it? The dust is held still between the protector and the phone which obviously keeps it from roaming around on the screen. Atleast I have a screen protector on the actual screen and that's all that matters but I'm just worried about the dust trapped underneath it and I'm not taking the protector off because I don't want to make anything worse.
