Right? Your phone’s real protection = a good case. Those protectors are like wearing a raincoat in a thunderstorm without an umbrella :umbrella_with_rain_drops:

They market screen protectors like they’re some magic force field. But really, they’re just glass on top of glass :joy: #marketingwonders

Facts: Dropped $30 on a ‘military-grade’ protector, got a cracked screen 2 days later. Anyone else feel scammed or just me? :weary_face:

Screen protectors: Great for avoiding scratches, hopeless for drop disasters. It’s like wearing sunglasses at night :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

The only screen protector that worked for me is bubble wrap. Joke’s on me but my phone is safe :winking_face_with_tongue:

For real tho, if you want to avoid cracks, learn how to do screen repair. Way cheaper and a life skill tbh :wrench:

Honestly, real talk: Dropped my phone from 6 ft. Tempered glass shattered but my phone didn’t. Worth it? Maybe… :man_shrugging:

Are screen protectors just placebo for tech anxiety? :thinking: Discuss.

PSA: Protectors save you from scratches, not gravity. Invest in a solid case. I repeat, INVEST IN A CASE :fire:

Tbh, I only use a matte protector to reduce glare. Aesthetic > function, fight me :eyes:
