I tried going without a screen protector on my phone for a while and vastly prefer to have one on there. I just feel like my finger slides easier and doesn't "stick" as i'm swiping.

anyone feel the same?

It could just be that i'm used to a screen protector for using one for many years.
 
Tempered glass screen protectors are a must for me. My new iPhones don't even leave the Apple Store without having one installed. Tempered glass has saved me some heartache after a rare drop. My iPhone landed face down in a parking lot on a stray pebble. The tempered glass broke but the screen underneath was unblemished.

A scratched or scuffed screen drives me straight up a tree. Just knowing it's in my pocket with a screen that's not pristine seriously messes with my chi. And a crack? I shudder to even think about that. Friends and co-workers walk around with badly cracked screens and seem to shrug it off. "Oh, it still works." Are they insane??!! What is wrong with these people?? Savages.
 
I honestly can’t remember what my screen feels like without a screen protector. I always put a glass screen protector and case on as soon as I take my phone out of the box. My fingers never touch the screen until the screen protector is on. I have AppleCare+ but don’t have the time to go into the Apple Store if my screen were to get a crack. The screen protector and case give me peace of mind.

I wouldn’t know. I’ve never felt any of my devices real glass before. Straight out of the box , screen protector applied.
 
No way. The real bare glass of the iPhone with the oleophobic coating is the best. The risk is scratching it up but it's so worth using it
