Glass is glass. Glass scratches. It doesn't matter how "good" your phone is.As long as youre not straight up breaking your screen i dont see the point. Screena on good phones simply dont scratch, at least from my experience. And im not careful with it at all. Funniest thing is peoppe who use plastic ones that are completely scratched. Scratches im pretty sure wouldnt be there without the protection.
Not all glasses are the same. Not all glasses scratch. And im not arguing that smartphones have some ultra super obsidian glass or whatever like super expensive watches, youre gonna have a hard time scratching those, but they are not regular glass for sure. I have my phones always for 2 years and the screens are never scratched. And i always have my lighter in the same pocket and sometimes coins.Glass is glass. Glass scratches.

And anyone that knows what they're doing is getting a tempered glass protector, not a plastic one.
Watch any professional scratch test on a phone. Literally every phone scratches between 6 and 7 on the mohs scale of mineral hardness.Not all glasses are the same. Not all glasses scratch.

It's not a mystery. It's well documented.
I successfully thwarted one launch when I screen-protected my Switch.
I apologize to whomever I killed fucking up my Kindle Fire attempt.
Fuck screen protectors. I'll take on the challenge of not scratching the screen.
If I crack it, I deserve it.

This is what I used for my XS Max and my 12 Pro Max.
Expensive but so are phones. Easy as shit to apply. The application tray rests on top so there's no real way to fuck it up. Do it in a steamy bathroom and you're 99.9% good.
I tried this. The metal and glass they use is way to slippery and hurt my hand from gripping too hard and I'm also scared to put it on stuff like the granite kitchen counter tops. I use a thin silicone case on my iPad and Galaxy phone and the experience is way better. I don't use screen protectors other than my Switch.
What glasses don't scratch? Even the crazy expensive (for me at least) Rolex of my brother in law using sapphire glas got scratched. Is there anything in reach for normal people that does not?Not all glasses are the same. Not all glasses scratch.

This is the glass samsung galaxies use.
Everything scratches. But some stuff is hard to scratch with regular or even sloppy use. Sure you can take a diamond and scratch it. This is exaggerating ofc, it doesnt have to be a diamond but it has to have a certain strength. And depending on the glass it can be stronger than a lot of metals/rocks etc. You're not gonna scratch your screen with iron for instance because iron is too soft. According to wiki. The steel is the hardiness where the new samsung screens begin to scratch. Everything that is softer should be fine.What glasses don't scratch?

This has been what I've done for most effective applications.I like using the hot shower technique: Start a hot shower, let the bathroom get really steamy, then apply the screen protector. Helps reduce the amount of dust in the air and under the screen protector.
And yes glass is wayyyy better than plastic.
Peak pain is when you get the protector on perfectly and then you notice that there is some hair underneath the protector.
