iPhone Air Thinking of removing the iPhone Air screen protector

[sartorius]

After seeing the JerryRigEverything video, I’m not sure I need to have one, I usually only get a few micro scratches on my phones by the time I’m upgrading.

I currently have the Spigen iPhone Air screen protector (part number AGL09870).

It is chunky, feels like it adds at least 1mm and attracts lint like crazy around the edges.

Agree/disagree?

I have been using an iPhone 16e for around two months now, I don’t even seem to have micro scratches yet. I can’t imagine getting deep scratches.

But of course, I keep my iPhone in my pocket, and I don’t keep anything else in that pocket. I put keys in wallet and the other one.

I am surprised by how many people do mixed their keys and iPhone in the same pocket, though, which results in scratches easily.

I also usually keep my phone face up on the table, if I need to put a face down, I’ll use one of those eyeglass cleaning cloths to protect the screen for that few minutes of time.

So I think if you are pretty responsible with using it, especially with the upgrades to the ceramic shield now, I doubt you will have any scratches, except may be a few micro scratches after a very, very long time.

The bigger concern will be drops, but it also seems that then new glass is pretty resistance to most cracks as well.

Received on day one, no screen protector. Pockets and occasionally on a desk.

I've got tons of micro scratches, a collection of scuffs bottom right corner. And a gouge near the front facing camera.

I'm in shock, honestly

I also changed my mind after seeing how resilient these new phone screens are. I’m not going to use a screen protector.
