Basically the title, I received a new price with a significant price tag (at least for me). My previous ones I didn’t care much so they weren’t protected. Given that I’d like to keep this one in good shape I’d like to know your experiences: does it still make sense to buy screen protectors nowadays? If so, also on newer quality screens like Gorilla Glass Victus? Thank you for your feedback

Imo screen protectors are the single most worth while protection. Way slimmer than a case and protect to most vulnerable/important side of the phone

They're a no-brainer on flat phones imo, ones with curved sides like S23U or Pixel 7 Pro are a bit finicky tho

As someone who buys a phone for 5+ years, I don't know why I never got into glass screen protectors. The past two years with a glass protector made my s20fe still have that brand new feel to it, and all it cost me was half a dozen protectors for $3 each.
