A couple of years ago we asked you if you still use a screen protector and case – back then most users had a glass protector and a silicone case protecting their phone. Has changed? Let’s find out.

An IP rating is quite common nowadays, especially in the high-end segment and also in the mid-range segment. Additionally, Corning continues to release increasingly durable Gorilla Glass versions. In theory, your phone is tough enough to become a commando.

However, there’s a chance that something might break: replacing the screen on a Galaxy S23 Ultra costs $320, for an iPhone 14 Pro Max the bill will be $380. Of course, both Samsung and Apple (and others) offer insurance plans For example, Samsung Care+ and AppleCare+ subscribers can replace the same displays for just $30. But these come with a monthly cost.






There are other reasons to put your phone in a case, too: for looks, for the extra grip, for the kickstand, for somewhere to stash a couple of credit cards, etc.

As far as screen protectors go, there’s only one reason to get one: protection. Many phones come pre-installed from the factory, this is especially true for foldables that have vulnerable internal displays.

So, does your phone have a screen protector? How about a case?
