You don't need a screen protector unless you abuse the heck out of your iPhone. I haven't used a screen protector since the early days of smartphones when the screens were fairly soft and you had to use a stylus which often got grit caught under it and would produce huge scratches.

I've never used a screen protector on any iPhone, and never had any scratches on the screen that I could notice. I certainly don't baby my phone. I carry it in a front pants pocket and try to not put anything else in there with it. This is a phone.. not a piece of museum art.

It's the most expensive pocket computer available in the general marketplace, and it just so happens to have a phone app. People who tend to look after things will look after an expensive daily companion like the iPhone even more. I certainly don't treat mine like it's "just a phone". It gets used heavily but it also gets babied. We're all different and I baby everything.:)

Entirely NOT true.

The greatest cause of scratches are sand and grit. If you live anywhere near or where you are exposed to those then you are in far greater danger of scratching the screen despite babying it as even the tiniest sand or grit particle can leave a nasty scratch.
 
Then what you meant to say is "highly improbable" or "highly unlikely". The word "impossible" is an absolute.

Either way, you'd still be wrong about MY situation.

You're correct, I used the wrong word there, I apologize....if I had used the correct wording, then I'd feel ok with being wrong about your situation, it would've gave me an "out" at least :).
