    Have a case and a screen protector. The phone is in pretty good shape with no dent or scratches on the screen after 3 years, dropped it plenty of times too

    I was using < 200 euro phones until recently and never bothered to put any protection on it. But a couple of months ago, I purchased a Pixel 6 and am now using a cover as well as a protective screen.

    I use a screen protector and case with a pop socket. My phone is 4 years old and still in good condition. The screen protector has some small scratches but not enough to be worth replacing.

    I use a screen protector and case. I tend to drop and scratch phones so it’s for the best. No protection plan though. I should replace the screen protector as it started peeling on one corner a few months back.

    Otterbox Defender. 5+ years and still mint condition, except some paint scratches on the headphone and USB inputs.

    Case, screen protector, and AppleCare+

    Case because I like the way my case feels over just metal, and screen protector because my phone sometimes ends up in the same pocket as my keys and I don’t want to end up with micro scrapes. Additionally, one time I pushed off of some rocks I was sitting on and my phone was face down and I shattered my screen protector but my phone’s glass was fine.

    I’ve only ever actually used Apple Care once and it was because I got a battery service needed alert about a month before care was going to expire so I got a free replacement phone - it was in the middle of COVID closures too so they mailed me a new phone and I mailed them my old one. I could probably get by without it but I’m paranoid that the time I skip it will be the time I shatter my phone before I’m ready to upgrade.

      If you have a good case (like otterbox) you shouldnt need applecare. I tend to break things a lot so I figured I’d get the Applecare and not worry about cases and screen protectors. I hate cases and screen protectors.

        The only thing I’ve used it for was a hardware fail after warranty but before Apple Care was up so yeah, it’s like do I want to pay for it up front or just wait and see. I don’t love bulky cases and I’m not hard on my electronics but I’m also clumsy as all hell so it’s more of a peace of mind thing.

    iPhone 7 Max. No screen protector or case.

    I broke the screen once dropping the phone into my sink as I was trying to prop it up and watch a video whilst doing the dishes. Replaced the screen and have since got a small scratch from accidentally putting the phone in the same pocket as my house keys.

    I’ve been called a psycho for this, but meh, I like the slim ascetic of it and don’t want it to feel clunky to hold.

    I have a case, screen protector, and a vinyl skin to protect the back glass from scratches too. There is literally no surface on my device left unprotected.

    I use a case. On my previous two phones, I used a screen protector, but nothing happened. So I didn’t use one for this. And unfortunately it has a crack on the side now.
