Do You Use A Case &/or Screen Protector on Your Smart Phone?

[MKMatty]

Really for my own curiosity. Interested to see how common a particular set up is for smart phone uses. I myself absolutely loathe cases, and find they actually contribute the most damage to previous devices I've had, so on my 6S I'm just running a screen protector. It's scuffed on the back a tad but nothing major.

Curious to hear how others protect their smart phones.

Never used one for 4 plus or maybe 5 plus years on two iPhones.

Recently busted my screen, paid for a new one, small cracks again within a month.

Now use a case and don't mind it after initially really disliking it.

Always run a thin Spigen case that hopefully protects it from the occasional drop. Have dropped my S7 a couple of times and the case has protected it like a charm.

Yep, not worth the risk. Usually get Hybrid cases (rubber bumper with a thin backing) and a tempered glass screen protector, but the screen protectors for the S7 appear to be pretty ordinary so I'm using a Spigen Wallet case.

Ive always gone with cases on my iphones. Figure a case is cheaper than a new screen. I used to add the screen protector but now the glass is pretty good about not getting scratched so I give that a miss.

Always have a case and screen protector. Typically a grippy silicon case that just covers the back and a glass screen protector.

I got a UAG case for my new S7. No screen protector though
Looks really nice and if necessary, is tough as nails

Without a case, the phone just feels too slippery to me and I'm always worried about dropping it

Never have before but then stuffed my phone this week and am regretting not using one. Expensive lesson learned.

 

[HulkSmash]

Yes. Especially if you're on a plan. But I look after mine, I don't drop mine like its hot melted butter in my hands.

Always use a case, generally a really heavy-duty one like LifeProof. I do a fair bit of outdoors stuff, and I drop my phone constantly.

I'm too paranoid to even commission a new phone until the case is delivered.

Have used a mophie battery case with my last three iPhones, plus a decent glass screen protector. The former adds bulk to the phone but ensures it's in pristine condition for resale when it's time to upgrade.

Never used one its in my bag more than its in use

I haven't used screen protectors for a couple o of years now but always a heavy duty silicon or rubberized case.

The reason I don't bother with the screen protector? I dropped my phone a couple of years ago for the first time ever and it broke the screen but left the screen protector fully intact. Luckily Samsung replaced it for free.
