Are you getting a screen protector for your 12?

I don't use screen protectors on my phones. Ever since an Apple employee told me they never use one, I never have.

I'm always looking for recs for inexpensive SPs. You like the Manto? Did you get the all clear or black edged one?
How does Apple/Belkin handle exchanges (if at all) if the screen protector gets cracked? I'm on the fence but wouldn't mind giving it a shot.
Under normal use so no problem, unless it's some massive scratch that's visible from every angle in every light.
I ordered the ESR screen protectors off of Amazon for the 12/12 Pro. The picture on Amazon shows there is no notch, just an opening for the speaker. I am receiving them today and will verify that is the case.
Easy. Limited lifetime warranty. You have to contact Belkin directly and they will send you replacement. You have a choice between the self install or machine install. You would bring the second one to the Apple Store for them to install with the machine.
Warranty info from product page:

I have used these on my 11 Pro and ordered a new set for my 12 Pro. They are FULL screen and fantastic.

In the past I have had a Clear-Coat screen protector installed. By no means the cheapest but it lasts the life of the phone or iPad so possibly it works out cheaper. I had the same installed on my Apple Watch 4 and when I came to sell it last week I removed it to find the watch in perfect condition, no fine scratches at all. I guess I’ll go the same route with the 12 when I get one.
I've been using ruggedized cases with integrated screen protectors for years, and will continue to with this new iPhone.
If my local Apple Store at Meadowhall Sheffield have the machine that applies their screen protectors then I shall buy one from there, but Im not sure how I find out if they have them?

I'm on the fence about this. My pattern has been to apply the screen protector for early in the phone's life, but as the years go by (I may go 3-4 years between upgrades) and the phone's replacement value decreases, I eventually don't replace the screen protector when/if it breaks.
I haven’t used a screen protector since around iPhone 5. The only times I’ve had any issues has been when I’ve dropped a phone.
However, the iPhone 11 Pro’s screen feels a little softer to me, easier to get micro scratches, so now I’m contemplating getting a screen protector for iPhone 12 Pro Max.
