Weekly Poll: Do you use a screen protector and case?

[Sbenny]

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.

Very interesting

Gotta say yes for the screen protector but never really used the case thing, I love to travel light and that honestly just bothers you.

Just be a little mindful of your phone and that should be protection enough, never broke a screen before so yay for me!

Over all the years of having a phone. I've always had a case. Maybe not the really old ones from the early 2000s but they were more sturdy back then.

I noticed that my cases evolved for every iteration of phone. I used to use the self charging cases, now its a wallet case.

Since using a samsung i use a wallet case. First with the j16, now with the A13. With the desire s i used just one which covered only the back. And with older types i didn't used one.

I always use my phone protector but the phone keeps broken any way

 

[Warhawk3002]

I use both but mostly a light case coz my phone is already a bit heavy
(My phone still gets broken )

I use both but just recently for my new phone, my old phone was naked from the day i bought it 3 years ago.

 

[nickolele]

yep both! Maybe it's just how i was raised but my mom won't let any of us have a naked phone. She said that mobile phone repairs are quite expensive which is true! my phone is covered with a cheap silicone but it did the job pretty well! (i dropped it a few times clumsily but thankfully no scratches lol)
