For those w/o tempered Glass …

Hey.

Honest question:
I am considering going without screen protector after the first two are ****.

For those rocking the iPhone 17 naked…

How is micro scratch protection in pockets, bags and face down on tables?

No debate please. Only experiences.

Thanks !!

Mine has been naked screen since day one, no issues at all.

Zero issues with no screen protector on my 17 Pro Max. It’s been years since I’ve used one on any phone. No noticeable scratches on the screen.

No screen protector for me and no issues

I have trouble trusting this because in the past, I would get scratches within days on all my iPhones. Lots of micro scratches.

But I’m genuinely curious how well the new 17 screens stand up.

I'm with @titans1127, no screen protector on my old 14 Pro nor new 17 Pro, and once cleaned with a microfiber screen cloth both look like they just came out of the box brand new. Granted I don't keep the phone in the same pocket as my keys and coins, but I also think the screens are just really scratch resistant these days.

Naked since week two, screen has no damage, but boy does it love to pick up fingerprints!
