If you inspect your phone using a flashlight, tilting it looking for micro scratches you're the one with the problem... If I can't see them looking at it normally, I could care less. I have better things to do than nitpick and look for near invisible scratches.
Replace it when it gets annoying. This isn’t rocket science.
Glass against glass, or metal against glass with any dirt/dust/grit in between is just asking for scratches.
If you have to take special measures to see the scratches, it’s the same as having no scratches. 🤷♂️
I’ve got that kind, too. Mine is the ESR brand a forum member recommended. It feels smooth and resists fingerprints.
Yes, you might see micro scratches but, I’m talki about deeper scratches I can see without aids.
That’s just silly.
This was me. Can’t remember what phone but it was before tempered glass protectors were around. Or popular at least. Bought a 3 pack. Got air bubbles on the first 2. The third I got on perfectly. However the screen wasn’t as responsive and wasn’t as clear. Peeled it right off. I work construction, and am constantly around blowing sand. So it’s unavoidable for it not to get everywhere. Especially pockets. Developed a decent scratch on my Xs max last year. Decided to try out a screen protector again this year. Got one of the ones that covers the whole screen. Put it on the day I got the phone, as soon as I took the plastic wrap off the phone, before I even turned it on. Perfect installation the first time, no air bubbles. I’ve been off work for about a month now, just had surgery last week so I’ll be off for another 5 weeks. But I have noticed a scratch on the screen protector. I know it said it was rated 9h on the package, no idea what that actually covers. Not sure what caused the scratch, just glad I have the screen protector.
