Do screen protectors ruin the quality of the screen?
Screen protectors are not all identical. Some do -- and to varying degrees. Some do not. There's no one-size-fits-all answer for your question and this is addressed in the countless prior screen protector threads. If you're looking for one that doesn't impact image quality PowerSupport and SPIgen's crystal screen protectors are popular but there are far from the only options out there.
Is it worth getting a screen protector on an iphone 5?
Worth is always highly subjective on any topic and it's no different with screen protectors. Again, this a dead horse that has been well-beaten in countless prior threads that you can refer to.
I have never dropped my iphone, so im worried about scratches to the screen.
A screen protector will not provide any impact protection. All they do is protect the screen from scratching.
I have an iphone 5 and I just bought the invisible shield from zagg and I have heard that it gives an orange peel effect on the screen.
That's a well documented concern about the Zagg IS though Zagg also has its fans. If the orange peel bothers you then you shouldn't have purchased the IS. Again, covered in many prior threads:

Always research
before buying.
i never really liked screen protectors. i think it reduces the calibration of the phone so it's not as sensitive and in the end, you will have to take it off and replace it or just trash it because of all the dust that accumulates.
if you put the protector on incorrectly, and most people dont do it right in the first place, you will almost always get an air bubble. air bubbles are so annoying.
I've never had these problems. Sensitivity and calibration have not been impacted on any of my devices. Dust accumulation isn't a problem. Improper installation can certainly lead to air bubbles but patience, care and practice will remove those issues. If one has issues installing screen protectors there are companies that will install them.
In any case, as stated above, worth is subjective. It's up to each to determine if a screen protector is worth using.
The only one that will feel exactly like the screen is a glass protector. But you know what? The iPhone definitely doesn't needs one. It just doesn't scratch, at least for me.
One data point != trend. People certainly scratch their screens whether you do or not. That said, scratches are a risk many are willing to live with as they don't care for screen protectors.
No. They're the stupidest things on the planet. As someone who repairs iPhones for a living, I can attest to what happens when you scratch an iPhone glass with, say, a car key: NOTHING.
Be careful with tossing the stupid label around so freely.
Of course car keys don't scratch glass. A car key would have to be harder than glass to scratch it. Softer materials do not scratch harder materials. There are plenty of other materials that will scratch glass including sand and other grit. Scratches happen even to the careful. Car keys aren't the only things to come into contact with screens and this is evidenced in countless threads with people who have scratched screens.
And I can attest to what happens when you drop your iPhone with a screen protector installed: IT BREAKS ANYWAY.
If you're counting on a screen protector for impact protection you're using the wrong tool for the job. Again, screen protectors are not meant for impact protection.
How's that for a first post?
Keep your day job.
