I have the cheap ass see through case which I bought for 5 bucks abt 4 years ago and which has turned almost completely yellow now. I have no screen protector as my screen is small and hasn’t cracked despite a few attempts.

I have a tempered glass screen protector on my pixel 10. I have it wrapped in a dbrand ninja turtle skin. I haven’t used a phone case in at least 8 years.

Spigen tempered glass + Spigen case is the way to go. expensive but completely worth it.

I hate the glass screen protectors. Naked screen. Single layer medium plasticy case with the mag circle on the back because my last car had the magnetic attachment thing.

Generally, I go with a fairly robust case. Supcase makes my favorite ones, with poetic being runner-up that’s essentially the same basic idea. I tend to favor the ones with a built in paid plastic protector though. Since the cases have a solid lip on them, it saves me having to fuck with application. Arthritis is a bitch

I use smartish grip cases for out and about. I like the texture on the edges.

If I’m not going any place I have a jetech slim case with similar (but not as much) texture. It’s really thin so I like it.

Oh screen protector I use inexpensive tempered glass. Never needed a $25 screen protector.

Tempered glass and thick case. Specifically one of those cases with interlocking front and back pieces. Makes it look and feel like it was always an integral part of the phone. In fact it is now, after I took out the glue to replace the battery and couldn’t be bothered to put glue back.

Tore out the plastic sheet included with it and stuck a glass protector in its place. Glass doesn’t have to be expensive, I got mine in a 2-pack for just $6. Maybe the more expensive ones have some oleophobic, anti-glare, or anti-scratch, but mine’s held up nicely for over 3 years.

I don’t mind the extra heft at all and would probably have perpetual anxiety if I had to use a phone without a case.
