A screen protector can indeed protect against scratches that accumulate over time and absorb some damage in the event of a fall. So it doesn’t hurt to apply one to your phone anyway, especially when combined with a case.

Then again, today’s higher-end smartphones all generally tout the more recent Gorilla Glass versions, such as Gorilla Glass 6 and Gorilla Glass Victus. And these protective glass solutions can survive multiple drops from 1.6 to two meters, while also offering great scratch resistance. So a screen protector isn’t as much of a necessity as it was several years ago.

Let us know whether you’re still using screen protectors by taking our poll above, and leave a comment if you have more on your mind.
