Are you using a screen protector?

My first was the iPhone 3, and I've never used screen protectors, but I've always used a case. Not one shattered/broken screen in 16 years. (I'll be sure to update this post in 2-3 days when I accidentally shatter my screen, because I'm not superstitious at all.)

I’ve had mega scratches on iPhone 12-14-15 pros. However the air is spotless so far. iPad Pro 2018 has large scratches too.
Screen protector kills the anti glare so I avoid using one. It’s ok nothing is invincible, I have a tiny scratch on sapphire screen too

I always do. Small price to pay for the added peace of mind

Can anyone recommend a specific brand of protector for the Air?

I have tried a couple from Amazon - but even my usual go-to from ESR is a problem because it's just minutely too big and one side starts to bubble. Perhaps it would fit with micro millimetre accuracy which even the included installation frame does not give you...

But, I think these early versions are just a tiny bit too big to fit the screen correctly.
