    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.

    I have a case, screen protector, and a vinyl skin to protect the back glass from scratches too. There is literally no surface on my device left unprotected.

    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 always have a case, but no screen protector, the case extrudes enough from the front to protect the screen most of the time.

    I used to have a screen protector, but because it adds extra width it went outside the edge of the case and it broke. And honestly I prefer microscratches over trapped dust particles. The only reason I’d put a screen protector on my phone now would be to replenish the oleophobic coating, and I’d do it, it’s just that idk which brand I could trust to actually have a good one included.

    I use a screen protector and case. I tend to drop and scratch phones so it’s for the best. No protection plan though. I should replace the screen protector as it started peeling on one corner a few months back.

    Case and (glass) screen protector. The phone itself is in perfect condition. The screen protector has scratches. No protection plan or anything like that…

    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.

    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.
