Screen protector?

[jon-nyc]

Do you guys use screen protectors for your phones?

I’ve always considered them superfluous given I have a case.

I mean yeah, I can imagine the scenario where it falls onto some uneven surface and the screen hits something before the case rim does. But it seems really unlikely. When I drop my phone it’s usually on a hardwood floor or, worst case, my driveway.

What do you guys do?

I have one.

Hmmm, Lame Donald gets convicted and Jon needs a screen protector… He must have been very excited over the verdict.

I came here to post this when I saw the news. I really was on zoom calls all afternoon. Board meeting and national conference are next week.

I have one.

D4 didn't use one on her older phone. With it banging around in her purse, against keys and all the other detritus you'll find in a 34 year old woman's purse, the screen got scratched up.

[jon-nyc]

I can see that.

This topic just came up because I got my girlfriend a new iPhone and she always had a screen protector on previous phones. Maybe I'll get her one.

I use my iPhone for distances on the golf course every morning.

It gets banged around. The protector is covered with scratches.

I don't, no case either. No scratches and I've had the iPhone 12 for like 3 years. I guess it depends if you keep it somewhere (like a purse) where it could get scratched up. My wife uses one and I've been telling her for years it is no longer necessary, but she does a few things that are pointless that I don't argue with.

Wise man.

Since you asked (heh), one is every time we fill the van with gas she resets the "trip odometer" since it resets the MPG usage. Has she ever once, in so many years, looked at her trip MPG usage or odometer? No. Another thing she does, which is kind of old school good habit, but equally pointless, is she pays a bill (sometimes online, sometimes via check) and she always balances her checking account in her checkbook. Even though... the transactions (online or check) are clearly visible on the website. Of course I am perfect so she has nothing to say about me.

Your wife and my girlfriend should start a support group. It must be tough living with perfect people.

[George K]

We need to start a "Annoying things my s/o does."

Well, maybe not...

[jon-nyc]

For me it would be “cute little endearing things my s/o does that will bug the shit out of me 2 years from now”

Gorilla Glass + Otter Box. A winning combination.
