iPhone 12 pro max - screen protector or not?

[jpiszcz]

I’ve been using one on both my Pro and PM. I never have used one in the past, ever since the 3G. I’ve never had a scratched screen until the PM. It’s very small, around 1/16” at almost the bottom edge of the phone. No idea how it got there. I just noticed it one day. I baby the phones. Designated phone pocket and nothing else goes in with it. I also never have the phone face down when on a counter, desk etc. Even so, I’ve been debating lately on taking it off.

Do you notice a quality difference with and without the screen protector that you use?

I do. I ended up taking the screen protector off. To me it had a slight haze to it and the keyboard wasn’t as responsive. That said, it was on for a couple months so maybe putting a new one on it wouldn’t have that hazy look to it and the keyboard would be back to a normal feeling.

Having no screen protector gives me panic attacks lol

This phone literally went from the new box to having a protector within seconds! I don’t think I’ve felt the touch response without a protector.

I’m using spigen at the moment but I was concerned the spigen wasn’t going to arrive in time and had pre bought some cheaper brand. Thing is spigen has the notch cut away whereas the other brand is full cover. I’m so tempted to try out the full cover as I have spare spigen ones anyway!

I do worry something could happen to that exact part of the screen….

I treat my phone like a tool and it has picked up a few deep scratches due to falling in the car near the seat rails.
if you have apple care don’t bother with a screen protector. It makes the black display grey, along with adding a whole lot of reflections. Not a fan.

I’m too ocd to leave my phone without a screen protector, as soon I unboxed my iPhone I put on a Spigen screen protector, can’t even tell it’s there.

I’ve never used any iPhone without a screen protector. I used the plastic screen protectors until the tempered glass debuted. I prefer the edge to edge glass protectors without the notch cut out.

Great suggestions everyone. I too, just got a PM and looking into getting a screen protector. Still not sure which to get. I haven't used one in 10 yrs.
