Do you recommend using a screen protector for iPhone 5?

Does iPhone 5's screen scratch easily with normal use? I'm really careful with my Apple products, but I don't want to have scratches on my screen.

had
2 ipod  touch never used one
1 iphone never used one but did crack the back glass a bit a screen protector would not have helped there though
1 ipad crack the front screen a bit from drop doubt a protector would have helped
don't really have much in the ways of scratches on any of them but if you are the type who will try to sell
the device  you own as soon as a new one is released then maybe both a rugged case and screen protector would be a good investment

  • Do you recommend using a screen protector with the new ipad?

    I just got an ipad with retina display.  I am wondering if I need to get a screen protector for it?

    A screen protector can also significantly degrade the touch screen experience.  I know one very talented sketch artist you does some amazing art on her iPad and she says she cannot do it on anything but a naked iPad screen as otherwise the screen looses too much sensitivity.
    They also make most stylus work poorly too, for the same reason (I use a stylus a lot with NoteShelf and Note Anytime for work stuff, and a screen protector really interfers with it).
    Just to warn you that, depending on how you use it and the type of apps you use, you may find them more or a problem then a solution to anything.

  • Do you recommend using a protective shield for the iPad2 screen

    Do you recommend using a protective shield for the iPad2 screen

    This is a very subjective issue. Do I recommend it? .... Not necessarily. Do I use one?..  Yes I do. I use the ZAGG InvisibleShield on the screen. I love it because not only does it protect the screen from scratches - it is very easy to clean. While I love the look of the unprotected iPad screen, I hated the fingerprints.

  • Will i need a case or screen protector for iphone 5

    will i need a case or screen protector for iphone 5? heard the glass is tougher, but still concerned about scratches.

    I think you probably should ask if others ever felt they needed them. I can tell you from my experience that applying a screen protector never worked out for me and I always took them off shortly after applying (bubbles / dust enclosed). But then a former colleague had his applied in an Apple Store and that looked perfect. Fortunately I never had a scratch in a screen as I always took good care (and my iPhones always had a pocket in my trowsers to themselves and didn't need to share it with keys or other scratchy objects ...).
    The case is a completely different story: I think every phone I had so far managed at least once to slide out of my pockets (don't laugh!) while being on a loo and hit the floor from low hight. Due to the covers I had, the phone looked as new as before, just the cases had a slight scratch if at all. Therefore a case would be highly recommended esp as it can safe you iPhone if you drop it from higher hight.
    Reading the first hands-on reviews it appears that the new iPhone 5 is built with materials that are less prone to scratch or crack but my first purchase next Friday will be a case. Not sure if bumper or full case but a case nevertheless.

  • Should I use a screen protector for an iPhone 6 Plus?

    I just bought an iPhone 6 Plus and can't decide if I want/need a screen protector on it. I take great care of my phones and do not set it carelessly down on any surface.

    Yes.
    We were going without for the first time, and after only 2 weekes,  my wife just showed me a hairline scratch on hers.  She says it could not possibly have happened, but it did.
    I just ordered screen protectors for both of ours.

  • Do you really need a screen protector for iPad?

    So I know the iPad 4th gens have a really durable glass screen. Do I really need a screen protector? I have a case that covers the screen. It is an incpio.

    If you have a cover for it (your case) you shouldn't need a screen protector. I use Apple's Smart Cover and do not have a screen protector.

  • Should I keep the Otterbox Defender screen protector for iPhone 4S

    Hello everyone! I have a quick question. I own a Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 4S and was thinking about removing the built in screen protector and replacing it with a Invisible Sheild from Zagg. Do you guys think I should do this? Also do you think a full body Zagg can protect my iPhone without a case? Let me know your thoughts and opinions! Thank you!

    I originally used the Otterbox Defender with my 4S, and I immediately removed the built-in screen protector. I didn't like the way it felt when using the touch screen. Instead, I applied a screen protector directly to the screen. (I can't remember the brand since it's been almost two years.) I didn't care about dust protection. I just cared about impact protection.
    After a few months, I ditched the Defender because it was too bulky. I've used an Incipio case since then and my phone still looks like new.

  • Best screen protector for iPhone 5?

    I need a good screen protector that protects against drops and scratches, since I recently got a new phone case which does not do good in protecting my phone, it's just for the looks. Any suggestions?

    The iSmooth Screen Protecto work great!
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0098ACVH8
    -Pros:
    perfect material (no glare, doesnt inhibit brightness, feels like bare screen)
    doesnt smudge easy, easy to clean.
    best value for the money, you get plenty of chances to mess up
    the Seller (smooth global) was absolutely amazing, they've sent multiple free packages and did everything they could to make sure i was satisfied.
    -Cons:
    difficult to apply (they are cut nearly perfectly to screen so alignment is crucial)
    like any other screen protector, they catch dust easily during application
    Overall:
    I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for screen protectors.
    Be sure to do business with Smooth Global whenever possible, they are great.
    Application tips:
    1. Take your time
    2. make sure screen is free of dust
    3. do in a room with little air movement
    4. practice aligning protector before you remove the sticker

  • Anti-glare Screen Protector for iPhone 5

    I really like the feeling and the performance of anti-glare screen protector, any recommendation for it? As far as I know, Sir Lancelot's Armor, Green Onion and power support(not released yet) are the best in my opinion.

    I can't imagine that they would take it.
    Ask them tomorrow, but I cannot see a reason why they would take a return on a used product

  • Full Screen protector For iPhone 6

    I've noticed a lot of screen protectors only sit on the front and don't cover the whole front face (I'm thinking because of the curve). Anyone know of a protector that covers the full face?

    Why don't you check this out it say it has rounded edges for the phone might be the one you are looking for, but I'm not sure check out the review

  • Do you use a screen protector? for powerbook.

    Do you use a screen protector for your powerbooks? if so, what do you use?

    No, I thought about it and decided that a screen protector was not something I needed. The reasons:
    * Key marks are generally finger oils, not physical scratches, and are therefore not permanent and can be removed using a damp cloth and gentle pressure. I have had my PowerBook for 2 years and this has held true. Various parts of my PowerBook have deteriorated far faster than the screen.
    * I didn't want to have this additional thing to have to remove after opening the lid and to replace before closing the lid. To me that's annoying and complicates the experience. I love being able to get going as soon as I open the lid.
    * I transport the PowerBook in such a way to avoid having other items in the bag compress the lid to the keyboard. If you carry a PowerBook in a backpack with 3 classes worth of textbooks and give the bag a hard landing on the library table with the PowerBook on the bottom, well, you might make some permanent marks that way.
    * When thinking about all the things I might want/need to buy with the amount of money the screen protector would cost, I decided the screen protector was way far down on the list.
    Nothing personal to those who find screen protectors useful, but that's the reasoning I arrived at. My opinion is that screen protectors are one of the many accessories that profit from unfounded consumer anxieties.

  • Do you need a screen protector for iphone4s

    Do you need a screen protector for iphone 4s ?

    It depends on how you handle and use the phone.  If you put it in a pocket or bag with loose change, keys, grit, etc, the oleophobic coating will likely scratch and sometimes the glass will scratch as well.
