I hate using screen protector. I’ve never broken a screen. I don’t like the added bulk, and I absolutely notice the diminished touch capacity with a screen protector. Good on you for using the device and enjoying it.
And those fuckers get way more damaged than your screen normally would.
Same! I’m always looked at funny for it, but I paid so much for it, I wanna feel the quality of it.
Don’t know why you are downvoted mate, feel the same.
Have you tried a hydrogel screen protector ? It’s almost unnoticeable and it doesn’t add much weight nor bulk to the phone
I don't really like how hydrogel feels, it is not as smooth as glass
Same. Hate screen protectors and hate cases. Used a case once on an iPhone 4 a long time ago, threw it out pretty much immediately. Same for screen protectors.
I’m buying a premium device, I don’t want it to feel cheap and plastic because of added crap. Just be careful and your device will last.
I've touched wood before this statement but I've dropped my 8+ once or twice and it's still going strong. It does now have a small crack and some dents on the bodywork, but it's a 5+ year old phone, I'd be crazy to not expect that at this point.
I'm not one for reselling my devices either, I'm planning on getting the 15PM and will likely to caseless, phones just feel so much nicer without attachments that stop you seeing what you've bought
That’s true, But u gotta remember there are other materials like leather, which make a great premium case. It’s literally skin on skin contact and it doesn’t make the iPhone feel any less premium imo. Metal buttons too so you don’t even miss out on that. I can’t stand plastic cases either bro. But I still gotta stay protected out here

While leather looks and feels a lot better, I still don’t like that it feels bulky. It’s just the general feel that I strongly dislike.
I’d like to not buy a premium device twice lol.
If $15 worth of plastic can solve that problem on a $1500 device, I’m all in.
Buy it twice lol. You’re worried about your phone getting completely destroyed from a drop? A new screen/backplate is $30. Your case and screen protector cost more than that.
$30? Is this the AppleCare price?
You don’t notice
Yes I absolutely notice, 100% of the time with absolute certainty. It diminish the responsiveness of the touchscreen. Those who aren’t power users and may seldom use their iPhone, may not notice.
