Should you put a screen protector on the iphone if the case is going to be a otterbox defender?

I am trying to figure out if I need a screen protector on my iphone 4s if I am using a Otterbox Defender.  The salesman suggested I should but I know a lot of people who do not use any screen protection on other cases/shells.

I never used a screen protector while my iPhone was in the Defender case. The Otterbox case is engineered to protect your device. I'm not sure why the salesman suggested you use both. I used the Otterbox Defender case for a little over a year and my iPhone was flawless when I removed it. Hope this helps.

  • I have just put a screen protector on my iphone 4 and where there was something on the film it seems to have eaten into the screen. is there a way to clean these marks off

    Help,
    i have just put a screen protector on my iphone 4 and where there was something on the film it seems to have eaten into the screen. is there a way to clean these marks off?

    I wouldn't worry.  Assuming you haven't hacked the phone you cannot have installed any viruses or spyware just by clicking a link in an email.  Sounds like the page you accessed could not be read on the phone anyway, or it was just a dead link.

  • How do you put PDA screen protectors to cover your ipod nan?

    Like how do i apply the pda protector? I havnt gotten the ipod nano yet im just thinking of how i could apply the screen protector.
    Is the film sticky? what keeps it on?
    if anyone could give me step by step instructions thatll be great.
    Thanks:)

    It is a static connection ... all that you need to do is cut the film to the size of the nano and then very carefully place it on the nano. The instructions for the protectors work with then nano. There should be enough space on a single protector for both sides of the nano, but be careful to avoid the area on the protector where there is any printing.
    You must be careful applying the protectors to avoid getting bubbles in it... it may take several attempts. If you cut the protector accurately then it ought to be possible to align the edge (I'd do the long edge) of the protector with the nano and then very carefully glide the protector over the nano and lightly press it down.
    I applied a protector to my nano before doing anything else and have avoided any scratches.

  • 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 they have proffesionals at the store who can put your screen protector on for you?

    I'm getting a new iphone and I want to put a screen protrector on it, but I'm terrible at putting them on so do they have proffesionals at the apple store who can put your screen protector on for you?

    Don't know about Apple Stores, but if you have a Best Buy store near you, they will put it on you for a price.

  • Should I use a Screen Protector with Otterbox Defender or Griffin Survivor?

    I bought both of these rugged cases and keep hearing that the actual cases can scratch the phones.  Should I use a screen protector on the phone face and back as well?  I assume that may not fit in the cases if I do that.  Anyone have any experience with these cases?

    I have the Ghost Armor (same as ZAGG's invisibleSHIELD) installed on my Iphone and my otterbox defender will be here today (anytime) I will let you know how it goes or how it fit as soon as my defender get delivered by FedEx.
    Do you have the shield on the front and back?  I read they do not fit in the Otterbox with both.  I would bet one side may fit.  I think if you use a thin one like the Verizon site has (PureGear Display Protectors) on the front I bet it will fit.  I have the Survivor case and have not head a chance to try the shield with it.  I got the phone, and first threw it in that case.  I know what to get a shield on it if possible.  Please let me know if it fits.

  • 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.

  • Should I get a screen protector for my iPad or better buy a sleeve?

    I already have a belkin case for my iPad ( which is way better compared to the apple case I returned mine and got the belkin instead)
    Now I'm planning on buying a screen protector for my iPad Or a sleeve for traveling... Is it worth the buy to get an iPad screen protector? Or should I wait and look for more option when choosing a screen protector ?

    Don't waste the money on a screen protector. Greasy fingers are easy to clean with a dry lint-free cloth since the screen is oleophobic or resistant to oil. You might actually have a worse experience with the screen protector. The glass is almost resistant to scratching. If my iPhone experience is anything, I've throw it into my pocket with keys, and I have no scratches on the screen.
    Get the sleeve. I like the Apple version, because I can prop it up on my desk, and it does protect the screen when you're not using it.

  • 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.

  • Screen Protector - Am I searching for the Holy Grail?

    Hi guys, I want to get a privacy screen protector for my iPhone 6 Plus. I'm currently using a MediaDevil Matte screen protector, which I love. I've tried their privacy version but it 'pixellates' the screen due to the way that it's designed. Are there any privacy screen protectors out there which don't cause the pixelated effect on the display? Thanks in advance

  • Screen protector on broken Iphone 5?

    My screen just got broken, and while I decide how to solve it I was wondering if I could put a screen protector and stop it from shattering. Is it a good idea?
    Thanks!

    As Brad said, it is a good idea...
    It will keep the glass from falling out everywhere, depending on how bad the smash is.

  • HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

    How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro? 
    Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there.  I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc...  Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs.  I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud.  So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!).  How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs? 

    I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?

    You need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to set up the device. Ask the seller to give it to you. If the seller is unable or unwilling to provide the information, the Phone is probably stolen. There is nothing you can do.

  • Put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group...

    When I go into iTunes with my phone synced, and then go to the info tab and Contacts, the check box for "put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group" is greyed out. How can I...ungrey it?
    EDIT: Solved my own problem. For those of you who are also wondering, I first had to create multiple groups in Address Book. Then it allowed to me check the "Select Groups" box, and the "put new contacts created on this iPhone into the group" box. Problem solved!
