having never ever had a screen protector, i've only ever once got 1 tiny scratch on my screen.
Wow, impressive
Soldato
if you only ever put your phone in a pocket with nothing else, what could scratch it? of course a drop might, but for every day use i don't know anything able to do it that it comes into contact with. i have soft skin on my fingers
Soldato
Pretty much the same here. One cracked from a drop, but I don't recall ever having scratches.
Amen.

I just handed over my xl2 to the Mrs when I upgeaded to the xl3 it is pretty much perfect. The odd mark.
I take great pleasure in peeling off people's screen protectors and liberating them. Beautiful engineerer glass and we stick a 5p bit of plastic over it .
Have a dedicated pocket for your phone. Mine is front left. Nothing else goes in that pocket .
Also modern day high end phones don't scratch like they used to.
Some of these cheap bits of plastic cost £30 ! It's a joke a market made to take advantage. I get the cases thing also I don't really use them they will save you from a drop. I have a couple for if I am going out on the pop or using my phone when I exercise.

I could argue I'd rather some tiny barely visible micro scratches compared to an ugly screen protector

me too. other than extra protection from a drop, i don't see the point of it. the screen is going to get less scratches than a screen protector. my familys phones all look tack with protectors

The dirt/grit in your pockets will cause tiny scratches over time, hence the need for something to protect the screen to prevent it happening.
You might argue that's not a problem and that's true for most people (I assume) but as much as it may not bother some it does others.
Soldato
I keep my dirt/grit in a different pocket.
If the micro scratches aren't visible though, what's the problem?
'I don't want scratches making my phone screen look bad, so I'll just start out with it looking bad with this screen protector on it'

Maybe not the best analogy but the phrase "not having sex with my girlfriend to keep her good for the next guy" springs to mind

That's a brilliant analogy
You sound like the type of person I'd get on with in the pub over a beer or two

Haha spot on.

Very good!
Guys, is Pxl3 the best choice when it comes to best camera and screen considering mobiles size?
(dont want to create a separate thread)
Missus wants a replacement for her s6
all other makes seem to be 6inches plus...she also considers s9. huawei mate20 has a nice screen and seems fact but its big...
thanks

In a nutshell, yes.
Yes I'd say so. There's not much choice out there for small phones.
Soldato
I may be reading incorrectly but are you after a smaller phone? If so Pixel 3 is your option, 3XL is pretty big.
**Edit** Ignore me, I WAS reading incorrectly, I just saw the 'xl' and assumed you meant the bigger one. However, fact remains Pixel 3 is probabaly the best 'small' phone on the market right now. I really liked the 3 when I saw it in store. For me it was too small but I much prefer big screen phones.
