Basically the title, I received a new price with a significant price tag (at least for me). My previous ones I didn’t care much so they weren’t protected. Given that I’d like to keep this one in good shape I’d like to know your experiences: does it still make sense to buy screen protectors nowadays? If so, also on newer quality screens like Gorilla Glass Victus? Thank you for your feedback

    I’ve literally never had a scratched or cracked screen and I don’t use a case or screen protector. What are you people doing with your phones?

      you probably didn’t look hard enough, simply carrying my phone in my pocket and taking it out as usual had given it very small light scratches on it (Gorilla Glass Victus 2). It’s purely cosmetic but still there

        No… I’m looking hard enough. My phone is 2 years old and doesn’t have any cracks or scratches.

      Using them? I can understand not getting cracked screens but I think avoiding scratches entirely especially across multiple phones would be a significant feat unless you just really baby your phones.

        I use mine every day for hours at a time for personal use and for work. I must baby it although I don’t consider that an accurate description of my usage. I’ve never dropped any of my phones, though, except maybe on carpet. I must just be more deliberate than others in my use.
