Been a Pixel person for maybe 4 years now, currently have the 7 Pro. I use Spigen off Amazon, affordable and seems to work well. I've dropped my phone plenty, haven't ever had a cracked screen or anything

Do you have to use the plastic screen cover?

Haven't put the sticky screen guard on any of my phones in ages. The gorilla glass or whatever it is they use for screens now is strong enough. I've always felt like that was putting a band-aid on something that isn't even broken.

Back in the day my iPhone screens would crack like regular glass, but nowadays I don't feel it's needed.

Just looked it up - it's Corning Gorilla Glass - very strong stuff as long as you don't work construction and drop your phone into concrete two stories up everyday

I work blue collar in a factory so I'll definitely be using one of the sticky screen protectors.

That said the Spigen comes with a plastic screen cover that I see a lot of people reporting issues with.
