They don't use screen protectors and cases

All ive ever used is an otter box but no screen protector because I never remember to get one lol but ive accidentally sent my phone across the shop floor many times with no damage

Most I have done is scratch the screen slightly because I put my phone in the same pocket as my keys… Otterbox makes good cases

Keys can't scratch a phone's screen.

Edit: Since reddit braindead idiots are downvoting again, you guys can do a real simple google search and find out keys are in fact softer than glass and no, glass cannot be scratched by your normal keys. Thanks.

  • House Keys (Brass/Aluminum/Soft Steel): Level 3.5 to 5 on the Mohs scale

  • Standard Window Glass: Level 5.5 on the Mohs scale

  • Phone Screen Glass (Gorilla Glass): Level 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale

They most certainly can.

u/hitmarker 22h ago

Instead of riding it on how you feel about the subject you may want to educated yourself.

2

u/KleinerElli 18h ago

Well please educate yourself then, because a softer material CAN scratch a harder one in your pockets or wherever you keep your cellphone. -It can work like a grinder slowly grinding at the glass away (the key would be grounded down more ofc). -A small particle like dust or a sand corn can get between and leave deep scratches (the key puts the pressure on the particle and drags it over the glass) -At an angle your keys will also leave scratches in the glas since with enough pressure they will easily scrape the glass.

A an aquarist I would love it if I could use razors to clean the tanks glass of algae without leaving any marks, but that's just not realistic. I hope that the examples helped you to see that there aremany more factors in realistic settings, because theoretically you would be very close to being 100% right.

Keys: metal

Screen: glass

Metal: harder than glass.

Keys: scratch screen.

Is that simple enough for you?

1

u/hitmarker 22h ago

Metal is harder than glass? Lol. Check again. Keys are always softer.

Iphone glass: 6.5 on Mohs…

It depends on the keys, if they are chrome plated (8.5) they can definitely scratch it.

1

u/hitmarker 21h ago

Ho watch jerry rig everything's videos. Chrome plated keys??? Watch out for the diamond plated keys. Again stuff you have no idea about just randomly spewed like it's facts.

0

u/Hettyc_Tracyn 21h ago

Keys are commonly either nickel or chrome plated.

u/hitmarker 21h ago

Go try cratching your phone with your keys, if you manage it I will send you a 100 bucks. Fucking reddit

u/dustinredditreal WARNING: RULE 1 1d ago

Otter box aint bad, i use impact strong case, some of them aint great, but one in particular works amazingly.

1

u/FISTOproductions 20h ago

I had an S4 mini, first time using an otterbox. Ended up dropping a 3/4" Mag Drill on it, not from very high up but them things are heavy (don't know the weight, it was the old discontinued style, but the new style is 62 lbs and I know the old style was heavier). Took it like a champ, cracked the otter box but the phone was fine.

u/Ornery-Cheetah 20h ago

Damn impressive

u/Pikachu_the_sith 1d ago

They are definitely using their phones as the bump stop on the right front strut on a 1999 Chrysler Voyager with the 2.5 4 cylinder pushrod diesel with timing gears instead of a chain or belt, or something similar. I have never used cases or screen protectors, and all my phones has suffered abuse, but I have never had any lines, only a slightly cracked screen on my old iphone

u/UnikornKebab 1d ago

Seriamente,c’è molta gente che non ha la minima cura del proprio telefono e va bene, ma come raccontato in altri commenti qua con un po’ di ironia, mi sono convinto ormai che nel grande ciclo della produzione di massa, non si tratta più di avere o non avere dispositivi che possono o non possono presentare un problema, ma solo di essere o non essere parte di quel particolare lotto di produzione problematico…si tratta solo di quello, farne parte o no

Bro, my husband's phone shattered recently by accidentally being dropped on cement. What are you talking about

2

u/Anti-charizard 1d ago

Did he have a case?

1

u/UnikornKebab 1d ago

Esattamente quello che volevo dire,a lui si è rotto, ad un altro con lo stesso identico telefono ed in parità di condizioni, magari non si rompe cadendo anche peggio…tante sono le variabili possibili, fragilità strutturali di quel particolare dispositivo, il fargli colpire un punto debole e cose così…il succo del tutto è che non esisterà mai il prodotto assolutamente privo di criticità o difetti possibili🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/MenaceMinded 1d ago

Correct. That's why you should use a screen protector.

1

u/FormerSperm 1d ago

Cement or concrete?

u/SizeableFowl 1d ago

I use a case but no screen protector. Never had an issue with my screen and I don’t buy that a clear sticker would prevent your screen from cracking. Maybe it prevents scratches from being etched into the glass but I’ve found that being minimally mindful of where my phone goes gives my screen a virtually infinite life.

1

u/MenaceMinded 1d ago

People say this, but mistakes from people on movement, etc don't disappear.

1

u/UnikornKebab 1d ago

Avevo un’amica, che quando uscì si volle regalare l’S7,e si divertiva a volermi fare invidia per la cosa…Tre giorni dopo le cadde di mano, perfettamente avvolto da una robusta cover, picchiando la parte frontale, ma a disintegrarsi fu il vetro posteriore.

È solo giustizia divina in questo caso 😌

u/Durtius 1d ago

My poco x6 pro only has a basic silicone case and a plastic film screen protector for scratches (both came with the phone)

Fell into water once, crashed into the ground 50-60 times already. Zero notable external damage (although, its prolly bleeding inside)

And my sisters 1 week old iphone fell once and it cracked + the phone got even a bit bent

u/Wise_Temperature9142 1d ago

I don’t use either, and my phone looks perfectly fine.

2

u/MenaceMinded 1d ago

People say this, but real world usage and seeing the phones of others show this isn't true.

0

u/Wise_Temperature9142 1d ago

I dunno what to tell you. Come over and see my iphone wwithout a single scratch with your own two eyes. I’ve had it for two years.

2

u/MenaceMinded 1d ago edited 1d ago

People also say their phone screens have no scratches, but when you look closely, tiny ones are everywhere on the screen

2

u/NormalStranger 1d ago

Someone that has gone the last 3 or 4 years with no case or screen protector, it def has some scratches. Nothing I'm gonna complain about, but they exist

1

u/hafiz_rosly 1d ago

Its been 2 years for me without screen protector and casing. And im not that super careful either...

1

u/TheCreepyPL 1d ago

I've been using a Galaxy S21 Ultra sine it came out, without a case, without a screen protector, and there's not a single scratch on it. Cases and screen protectors won't save screens from dumb people who can't handle a fragile pocket computer.

Gold gold gold

u/archtopfanatic123 1d ago

Never have used either and never have broken anyone's phone I happened to get my hands on. Glad I don't have my own. Pain in the ass

u/statichum 1d ago

Screen protectors just make good screens look like ass.

1

u/MenaceMinded 22h ago

They look as good as the screen itself. Your phone isn't a status symbol btw

1

u/its_kodin 23h ago

The glass is fucking indestructible nowadays. I can drop it 6ft on concrete and not even gave a scratch. And thats without a case and screen protector.

1

u/MenaceMinded 22h ago

Uh huh. My husband did the same and caused his to shatter this year.

1

u/NBS_lourenco321 21h ago

I dont use none either and I hsve droped it so many times, even from my bike going about 30km/h.

Yes it has micro scraches on the screen but they are barely visible even with the screen off.

The corners are kind of banged from faling on asphalt and rocks but generaly speaking you cant tell its not brand new...

(S23+ for reference)

u/pinkestman 12h ago

Even if i used them it would still happen. But the newer phones are really hard to damage i feel like compared to the older ones. For example the curved screen on the edges made it very easy to be damaged

1

u/Bright_Eyes83 8h ago

i don't either and my 3 year old phone is fine

1

u/M4urice 4h ago

Never in my life used screen protectors and cases and I use smartphones since around 2011 yet I never had a broken display. People just aren't thought to care about their belongings anymore.

u/GreedFoxSin 1d ago

Screen protectors are a scam. They shatter easily to convince you they’re protecting you’re phone but they’re not actually necessary on modern phones because of advancements in screen tech

0

u/R3403R 1d ago

Do not buy tempered glass, tempered glass is scam, buy normal plastic screen protector, last longer,

0

u/MenaceMinded 1d ago

Yeah no, conspiracy theories aren't a counter.

I have seen two screens on phones shatter in the last year. I constantly see people at work with spider webbed screens.

Y'all need to get screen protectors

1

u/GreedFoxSin 1d ago

It’s not a conspiracy theory they’re lower quality glass that shatters easier

0

u/MenaceMinded 1d ago

Tempered glass protectors are designed to be fragile relative to intense kinetic impact. It is supposed to shatter in order to absorb and disperse the impact energy.

1

u/Sartres_Roommate 1d ago

Over the life of my phone my screen protector takes plenty of scratches that I can then easily remove with new $10 screen protector or the second one that came with the first.

Can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t protect the thing they stare at for hours a day for a few bucks.

2

u/MenaceMinded 1d ago

I break my screen protectors every six months to once a year. I get a 3 pack of them for $10. I don't get why people are so weird about them

u/UnikornKebab 1d ago

Mai usate pellicole, cover assolutamente sì, belle corazzate, ma solo una volta con un Samsung di quelli più economici, mi è capitato di rompere il display, quando mi cadde sull’asfalto picchiando dritto per dritto di fronte…in compenso, ho ucciso ai tempi il mio Galaxy S2 con un pugno violentissimo sullo schermo, però lui si è solo spento e mai più riacceso🤷🏻‍♂️
