Never used a screen protector, have been using iPhones since iPhone 3G, never shattered or cracked a screen.

I started using a silicone case with iPhone 6S as found it was slippy. Have a leather case for iPhone 15 Pro but considering going naked again.

You are really lucky. I broke several screens and my wife also (on 2nd day of iPhone 6s it fell into concrete). Since then I’ve never been without a screen protector and I break it at least 3 times a year. Maybe the screen wouldn’t have broke and the SP did ? I won’t take the risk given the price of the SP vs the pain of changing a screen. The last time I tried to go naked the 13 pro max fell from my pocket because there is zero grip and I had a dent on the border

What does a screen protector have to do with the border getting dented?

Sorry I meant the border of the screen protector and the frame as well in the fall. Maybe the screen would have survived but phones are so slippery that without protections it’s a big risk
