Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
I’ve bought a nice bumper for my Series 1 I’m getting for Christmas, had to the eBay route but I’ve bought this one:

Now I don’t know weather to get a screen protector as well or not? The worry I have is it taking off the oleophobic coating off the screen?
It has that toughened glass the same as the iPhone and it seems to stand up well on my 6S.

What do you say?

I personally don't care for screen protectors, which is simply based on looks for me. I don't know that It would have a negative affect on the oleophobic coating. However I can comment on the Ion-X Glass, which essentially is the same glass use on the iPhone display. You might accrue some minor hairline scratches that might be superficial on the oleophobic coating without a screen protector, but I do think the display is fairly durable. Really it depends on how particular you are about scratches on displays and or protection.

Hmm maybe I’ll see how it goes? The glass on my 6S has held up well. It seems a few of the protectors actually stuck around the edges and not the screen.
