        Still it's better to use devices carefully or else who knows who need to visit that doctor.

          A chip is always better than a crack. There's definitely some improvement here.

Sand particles are everywhere and the only way to not come in contact with them is to live in a "clean room" of a laboratory 24/7.

                  A tempered glass screen protector fell off my Note9 after 1 year, I cautiously continued & to this day have no problems.

                  I use a screen protector on my S23U's GG Victus 2 because I've seen YouTuber's with scratches.

                  This new GG Armor seems like it improves scratch protection (maybe as much as GG 3 & GG 5?, IF so then you'd only need a case for drop protection/ resistance which clearly still needs improving.

                  HUAWEI's Kunlun glass seems to be the best, we should be able to pay them a fair price to use it.

                    Got the S24U today and first thing i do was installing some glass protection and a wallet case which have protected all my phones since the first smartphone, never broke a display at al.
                    A good panzerglass and a solid case voila. My phones looks like brand new the day i change to another new phone.

                          Those tests arent as impressive as ones made by Jerryrigeverything to be honest.

                                        And for scratch resistance, notice the claim is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Scratches can and will happen, its just more difficult to scratch compared to standard glass
