iPhone x screen protection.

No, because I’ve always hated the way they look and feel. They ruin the smoothness and sleekness of a phone.
Still looks perfect, as my phones always so. Sometimes I’ll get a hairline micro scratch on a screen, but it’s rare and mostly unnoticeable unless you’re specifically looking for it at certain angles and reflections of light.

I’m using a tempered glass screen protector and it feels smooth and sleek.
Yes, I always use a screen protector on my phones. I currently have a zagg sapphire defense on my x.
Never use a screen protector. Screen is flawless so far. Never had a scratch on any of my phones' displays. I am kinda particular about it though.
I never put anything else in the same pocket or allow anything to touch the screen. I do use a case now that the phones are so dang slippery. I didn't with the 5 and earlier.

I’ve always preferred the feel of an anti-glare screen protector and the great thing about them is I can get a six pack from Amazon for $8 so not a big deal if you screw up the install or decide you want to go bare screen for a while.
I can’t imagine paying $50 for a single screen protector.

I use tempered glass protectors since I drop my iphones often. Don’t notice the difference in touch or feel. Crack so many protectors, but never damage the screens. Peel off the protector, install a $10 new one and as good as new.
The problem with tempered glass or the bare screen is if there’s any sort of humidity you lose that “swipability” and your finger kinda sticks. Anti-glare always glides nicely.
Just me?
Never had that problem when I lived on a tropical island for 3 years. Humidity was so bad that as soon as you walked outside, you glasses would totally fog up.
Glass screen protector saved my iPhone 7+ when it flew off the roof of my car at 35+ mph. Seriously. I would never go without one on a piece of tech this expensive, due to my habit of doing things like that. You can barely tell the 7+ took flight - just a tiny scratch at the very edge of the screen. You should have seen that screen protector though.
I don't prefer screen protectors from past usage. I don't like the tactile feel and I prefer the dislay just as it is when un-boxed. Fortunately no damage to date on any of my displays.
Never used one before, but I put one on my iPhone X. If fact, I bought two different kinds...I bought the Anker Karapak which is OVER the glass and has the notch, and then I also bought iCarez full coverage with rounded black edges. I went with the iCarez and wasted the first one when I put it on....
But I got it perfect the 2nd time and I'm using it with a case....I can't tell there is a screen protector on it...so far, I'm feel much better having it on there and can see NO degradation of the screen on the iPhone.

I usually run a tempered glass screen protector. I just got my X a few days ago and ran it with no case and no screen protector. It felt too vulnerable. Added a case and a Caseology screen protector. Didn't take anything away from the screen and I feel better now.
I love the feel of bare screen. But I had one bad experience with micro scratches back on my 5 and have been using protection ever since. Used all kinds, but I pretty much only use tempered glass now as it's the closest feeling to bare. Glass is also much easier to install. Seems like there are 2 kinds of people in this world, ones that don't notice micro scratches, and those of us that lose our **** when we keep seeing the same micro scratch every time we turn on the phone.
I keep my phones for exactly one year as I've been doing for quite some time with trade ins and now the Apple upgrade program.
And for that year I want the screen looking pristine every time I clean it with a micro fiber cloth. I've used em all over the last few years, anti glare, glass, full screen, etc etc.
Best screen protector I've used in the last few years is the Belkin Glass screen from apple. They put it on with the machine and honestly you can't even tell it's there. No dust, no air bubbles, no hassles of putting it on and worrying about any of those things. Yes it's $40 for the glass, but if I can't spend another $40 to protect my very expensive phone, I shouldn't be buying this very expensive phone in the first place.
Yes some will complain, hey it's up to you how you spend your money, and up to me how I spend mine. If someone is cool with a $10 screen protector off amazon, and is ok with dealing with putting it on...high five and good luck.

Not on the edges though. With any screen protector, you’ll never have that near seamless feel of a naked phone. And on a phone where you’re often using the edges of the screen, I just can’t stand the bump.
