Just fyi. I've got a super old phone too. No glass protector and not a scratch on it anywhere, years later. I went and looked at a new phone and the dude told me straight up that there is zero chance of the screen not breaking without an extra layer of protection on it. For an extra fee of course.
Ehh. Gorilla glass is strong against impacts, dude was just trying to sell some extra products.
If you aren't dropping your phone directly on concrete or metal you're probably okay, but having even a well made slim case that gives a small lip around your screen will prevent direct impacts and spread the kinetic energy.
In my experience it was actually more common to break the back of a phone when it was during the glass fad, but now that we are back to metal backed phones that's a non issue.
Also, impact resistance is different than scratch resistance and both is not feasible without making the screen cost more than the phone.
Mine is unscratched also. No screen protector. Usually in my back pocket. Got it in 2015. I do have a rubber surround to protect the back and edges
Me too! $200 Samsung J7, 5 years old. Look up magnetic USB charger on Amazon. Those are the bomb and eliminate wear on your charge port... the piece 2nd most likely to fail.
I do all my charging wireless. I'm constantly on it so wireless charging mount in the truck and a charge pad at home.
