Honestly, a good screen protector is a small investment for the protection it offers. I’ve seen people who regret not using one after shattering their screens!

Exactly! I dropped my phone once without a protector, never again. It’s not just about scratches, but the whole screen breaking!
If you’re unsure, you could always ask at a tech store. They might help you choose based on your specific device and how you use it. Great topic!
That’s a good point, jessesimon! Getting expert advice might save you money in the long run.
It’s funny how many people buy expensive phones but skimp on protectors. It’s like going to battle without armor!
Haha, yes! You wouldn’t enter a fight without a shield, so why do it with our pricey gadgets?
I’ve been really contemplative about this. It’s interesting to think about how personal usage should dictate our choices. We all protect things we value!
I think a screen protector is essential! It keeps the screen scratch-free, which is key for resale value. A pristine screen can easily boost your selling price by $50 or more!

But do you really think it makes that much of a difference? I sold my last phone without one and got a decent price.

I agree with James! Even minor scratches can deter buyers. I always keep my devices protected and have benefited when reselling them.
That’s true, but I wonder if it’s worth the hassle of applying a protector. They can be tricky to get on perfectly.
Haha, you’re right, Evan! I once ended up with bubbles everywhere. But I’ve heard otterbox protectors are easier to apply. Maybe worth a try?

I’ve seen mixed reviews. Some people sell phones with scratches and still get reasonable prices. I think it also depends on the brand and model.
True, but wouldn’t a flawless screen increase your buyer pool? More people want that perfection.
Definitely! Plus, screen protectors are generally inexpensive. A little investment for peace of mind and better resale is worth it.
I’m curious, has anyone here resold a device successfully without a protector? What was your experience?

I sold a phone without a screen protector once. The price was decent, but I regretted it when I saw scratches! Never again for me.
That sounds tough! I think it’s safer to play it smart and protect our screens from day one.
In the end, it’s about how you treat your device. But hey, if you can keep it looking good while protecting some cash, why not?
