Your opinion on screen protectors

To be honest screen protectors can sometimes give a haze type look to the screen. I used to have screen protectors but got rid of them to be honest. As long as you look after your phone then no need for screen protectors. The feeling of the screen is much better without it in my opinion. And the retina display is much better too. Having a screen protector can ruin the affect of the display. It makes te retina display look useless.
I don't use one either

I used to be crazy about cases and screen protectors. Cases range from a few dollars up to $40-50! Add a quality screen protector.... it adds up!
I decided to purchase the AppleCare+ for $99 and then if I want/need a replacement is only $50 (up to 2 times though!).
I now use no case/screen protector and am covered in case of accidental damage or if physical wear and tear (which is extremely minimal for my release day white iPhone 5) gets too bad. I decided the money spent for a case/screen protector wasn't worth it. It also makes the phone bigger/bulkier, and heavier. I haven't had to use it yet.
You've got a point there, the Apple Care is totally worth it. Also, I agree with you, cases are really expensive, and I don't usually like the look of the iPhone with almost none of them, it looks gorgeous for itself. But even having the Apple Care, I will still buy an screen protector, because it is just a few euros/dollars and for me, it makes me feel safe.
