Is a screen protective film really necessary to protect the display from scratches or any other damage?

I know that, but do you think the screen needs additional protection?
Again it seems that's a personal choice. Some think it does others think it doesn't. There isn't some strong objective indicator that will really convince everyone one way or another. I personally do not use one, which doesn't really say much one way or another for someone else.
 
The iPhone 6s has thicker glass to increase durability which has made it heavier and thicker. I wouldn't add more weight to the device.
 
Im using the glass protector always... My bf dropped his phone and luckily he had a glass ptorector on it. The protector went totally broken, but the phone itself was ok. Just a tiny "scratch" hairline on the edge of the bottom because of the impact. He didnt have a case to protect corners...
 
From my side, i think screen protector are necessary which has benefits like

* The screen protector can repel dirt

* It prevents from UV damage and prevents sticking of fingers

* It reduces glare and it is antibacterial
 
Yes you'll need one.
After only two month of use my iPhone 6S got 2 deep scratches. And no: there weren't any keys, knifes, coins, or whatever involved.
 
After 2 years of use, there are no scratches on my iPhone screen. Never had a screen protector, and it doesn't have a case either.
 
I use the Glass protector. The phone keeps falling off my hand while on the road and falling on Asphalt. Saved my display countless times. I would recommend
