Keymasterjust try one. if you dont like it then take it off. the hard part is fitting one without getting any bubbles!

KeymasterThey are so cheap to put on, why not?

KeymasterDefinitely use one. Awhile ago, all the cool kids were scoffing at screen protectors for iPhones, saying Gorilla glass was impervious. So I tried to go without. Had several indelible scratches in my screen within a month, and that wasn’t a month of hard use, just having coins or keys rub up against it once in awhile in my pocket. So definitely use one. And, IMHO, invest in a good one, for instance a Zaggshield. You pay for it up front but then have lifetime free replacements.

KeymasterGorilla Glass is surprisingly hard, I prefer the feel of glass and don’t mind a bit of wear on my gear. That said, without a screen after a year and half of use, no scratches yet.

KeymasterOther:
Mine = No. Never broke anything, never scratched anything.
Wife’s = Yes. Already changed a 5S, broken screen after 4 days of use.edit:

KeymasterI highly recommend them. Saved my screen from all sorts of abuse.

KeymasterSkinomi makes good ones.

KeymasterYes I would get one, had them on all my phones and iPods. Always used zagg invisishield can’t fault them and they have a lifetime warrantee.

KeymasterThe ones I’ve tried soon look scruffier than a scuffed screen, so I don’t see the point in those, and I’m just not bothered enough to fork out for an expensive one.

KeymasterI use a mat screen protector stops scratches on the screen and improve vision in the sunlight.

KeymasterI use a matte one on my iphone. My finger slides across the screen much easier with it. No smudges either.

KeymasterI’ve never really cared for them. No matter how much I prep it, I always manage to get a speck of dust under it, or a stubborn bubble. I’ve never had a problem with newer (last 3-4 years) screens scratching due to the advances in gorilla glass. That said, my phone sits in a dedicated pocket (small slash pocket on right leg of dickies pants) so it doesn’t have to contend with change, knives, lights or what have you.
