I use a case, and you should definitely get a case, just not the big-ass otterbox kind. It's nice to have a small one but don't go overboard. I don't really care for screen protectors much either because of their whole tendency to get bubbles.

Just wanted to add that i put a thin case on cause i tend to be rough with my phone in the sense that i slide it across tables and floors often so the thin case is just to give my phone a layer that i can replace when the case is scratched up.
I have an N5 where the camera sticks out a little too so the case helps that too.

And yeah guys, Glass screen protectors are where it's at, seriously just give a try.

My kids have Galaxy S5s and those cameras stick out also. WTF?

That is just guaranteeing scratches and damage.

cheaper smartphones rarely have such problems.

I use a TPU case on my OnePlus One as well as a tempered glass screen protector. Once you go glass screen protector you will never go back.

I use a matte/antiglare screen protector which vastly improves screen visibility in daylight.

Oh, and I should mention that I tried a tempered glass protector and it broke very easily (basically in my pocket). I did mention it to a guy who repairs phones for a living, and he sneered at tempered glass- in his opinion the $5 film protectors do just as good a job against cosmetic scratches whilst being a fraction of the price.

i paid $8 for my protector and it didn't break till i dropped my phone on the corner, not sure if it protected my screen but my screen didn't break so.

Got a lifeproof for my S5. Then I realized: it's already water resistant

I should have mentioned this was 4-5 years ago, when (in my neck of the woods at least) they had to be sourced from Japan. Or maybe it was Korea.

yip. i use a case and screen protector on my note 2.

I use a Zero Lemon extended battery on my Galaxy S4. Gives me 2x the juice on my phone and came with its own case.

I picked up a Nexus 6 after release, and tried using a pouch. I use it at night, or if it is sitting on my desk at work. But, its normally not in it. This phone feels so good naked. And, there aren't any really good tempered glass protectors that adhere properly, so I'm living on the edge.

recently got a note 4 and a wallet case. didn't know how i would like it at first but i really like only having to carry one thing on me+keys. don't use a screen protector as i don't see the point with also having a case.

Doyniish · « **Reply #67 on:** Fri, 13 February 2015, 12:45:56 »

For my past iPhones I haven't bothered with a case or screen protector. Buck Cheddar nothin' better!
For my 6 Plus I use a screen protector and one of the Apple Leather Cases. The phone is so damn slippery without one!

plegnic · « **Reply #68 on:** Mon, 16 February 2015, 15:52:30 »

I've got an LG G2. No screen protector, but I do use a thin case. The case sticks out enough on the front so that even if I drop it face down, the screen is pretty well protected.

I used to not even use a case, but I chipped the corner of my Galaxy Nexus once. Proud to say I have never (knock on wood) shattered a smartphone screen.

I used a bumper for my Nexus 4, I used a Dbrand skin for my Nexus 5 and ironically I'm using a case for my Iphone 6+ because it's just too thin and slippery.

demik · « **Reply #70 on:** Tue, 17 February 2015, 17:42:49 »

i have a thin case on my iphone 6.

and a nice scratch on the screen.

phone is 2 weeks old.

**** you apple.

never had a case or screen protector on my GS4, dropped it many times and aside from the back cover being broken a bit (my fault, kept constantly taking it off and putting it back on), the phone was a champ.

Novus · « **Reply #71 on:** Tue, 17 February 2015, 17:44:01 »

Hey you're the one that dropped it

demik · « **Reply #72 on:** Tue, 17 February 2015, 17:44:48 »

nope, normally i'd take full blame because im terrible with phones, but i have done no such thing with this phone. i have no idea how it happened.

apple wants 109 for a new screen.

meh, i'll just wait until it gets worse to make the 109 worth it. but yeah, i wasn't expecting the screen to be that easily scratched so soon. never had that problem with other iphones
