Weekly poll: do you use a screen protector and a case?

27 August 2023
Some people carry their phone with no extra protection, others feel safer with a protector. Some see cases as a style add-on, others as unnecessary bulk.

I have a OnePlus Nord and I am still rocking the included case and the screen protector lmao
It has honestly held up way better than I could have ever expected. Saved me from a few low and like 2-3 high drops.
Hope it remains this way haha.

    Yes, I use both because I'm too cheap to spend $300-500+ on screen replacement or phone replacement in case I drop my phone. I plan to use my phone for 5+ years or as long as I can, so keeping it in good condition is a priority.

    Care programs: charge extra money, sometimes monthly; offer discounts for screen replacement or phone repair, but never seem to cover the full cost of the service, and don't provide discount large enough to make any sense. Terms are usually extremely slimey (horrible for the customer). So I never use them. Haven't seen a single care program that made any financial sense for the buyer.

                justasmile, 27 Aug 2023You bought many, but do they include Xiaomi and Oppo phones?Pre-installed plastic screen protector has been on every Xiaomi/Poco phone I have bought (4 so far) and also on OnePlus, Realme, Oppo too, but I don't know about Motorola? On very cheap budget phones the protector can be cheap lousy quality and catches dirt and fingerprints too easy and they are hard to clean so then it's best to remove it. On my Xiaomi 12 Lite the pre-installed screen protector on the other hand is of outstanding quality, doesn't get dirty seems to resist smudges and is crystal clear + feels like thin glass.

                  Yes I have a case on my phone A54 5g besides the back is all glass. I need my money and don't want to be paying to get something fixed. I might get a screen protector not sure yet. I also have the S20 Fe and that has a case also and no screen protector.

                    Anonymous, 27 Aug 2023There is case on it. Simple. You will not admit, obviously. Yes there is a case on it, I already mentioned it in a comment on this exact article. The case I use, is the same faux leather that's my phone's rear panel, and it came in the box.

                          Phones are absolutely not tough enough to "go commando". Glass will always scratch and break, no matter what fancy marketing words Corning throw at it.

There used to be those old Lumia phones with plastic unibody and they felt more premium than the glass back phones today
                            But so far only Nokia could do that

                              justasmile, 27 Aug 2023And it breaks easily, so we have to put a case on it.Glass is Glass. And glass breaks.

                                Anonymous, 27 Aug 2023Same crap used on chinese phones. Oh is it? Then why doesn't mine get dirty?

                                Btw Motorola may not be chinese, but their phones are.

                                        I put a Spigen glass protector on my Poco X3. Fortunately the fingerprint reader in on the side. Use a Nilkin silicon case on the back, basically no dust between the case and the phone in the years. Nonetheless I clean it every 2-3 weeks. It has reinforcements in the 4 corners. Today's phones are way too slim for me and with the case i can grab it more securely.
