iPhone Air Who is going without a screen protector on their Air?

It does cover accidents cough cough.

Yep, I’ve been debating taking my screen protector off and if scratches get too bad whoops how did I crack my screen lol.

I found a screen protector adds weight and it isn't as great to carry around. I think if i'm going away to some sandy location I'll have it on for that but so far, after a month my screen's in good shape!

I have one on at the mo, but will probably remove ones it shows any wear.

LOL. I guess few grams could be a deal breaker for some.

I know what it sounds like because it sounds like a ridiculously small amount but somehow it did make a difference to me! and its not just the air, it's always been like that for me on other phones too.

I only wear a screen protector because of the rivet above my jeans pocket. That's the only reason.
I always have scratches exactly where the rivet slides over the screen.
PROBLEMS!!!!!!

I'm currently using Mothca's matte glass but good grief it's thick. I ordered these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNLRRD1K?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title (couldn't find them by searching for iCarez iPhone 17 Air initially).

I like the feel and clarity of the Mothca but the edges have a rainbow effect to them that really stands out in certain situations so I'm probably going to replace it with an iCarez film protector (been using these for many years).

I use the Magic John screen protector on my Air and can't even tell it's there. Was very easy to install and no bubbles or any indication on the edges that it's even on.

I was using an ultra thin case for a while, then decided to stop using it. It's a bit slippery without the case, but it looks and feels a lot nicer.

Debating whether or not I’d want to take my screen protector off. Looking at its profile, it looks like it adds roughly 20% to the depth.

Caseless and no screen protector here. Anything you put on the Air, even just a tempered glass screen shield, makes it noticeably heavier. And I'm just not about it.

I also don't want to negate the (already not all that impressive) anti-reflective coating by slapping a glossy piece of glass on it, or reduce screen quality with a matte/privacy one.

Applecare+ doesn't cover cosmetic damage and scratches... So it's not really a replacement for screen protector and cases like some people think

I think the biggest concern people address with screen protectors is breaking the glass when it’s dropped. AppleCare+ does take care of that.

Titanium frame seems pretty durable even with falls. Won’t stay perfect if dropped on hard surfaces but also wont dent the way aluminum does.

Comes down to your tolerance for wear and tear. A little bit adds character to the phone I think, as long as it doesn’t change the way the phone feels in the hand (like a rough spot where you normally hold it).
