default packin case and a glass screen protector has seen me through the last year and a bit now.
Have you had any use for the screen protector? I got the 512gb model with anti-glare and it stopped working with a glass protector on top so I decided to just skip it. Still no scratches anywhere on my deck. I just keep it in the original case when I am not using it
I have. I have a couple hairline scratches on my protector, despite babying it and only using microfiber cloths. I don't have anti-glare, so the reflective surface is the same with or without the protector.
The main reason I have it is for those hairline scratches and for drop protection. On phones, the screen protector will actually absorb a drop-force that would otherwise crack the screen, cracking the protector instead (usually). It's cheap to replace a piece of glass, and much more expensive to replace the digitizer and LCD, so it's a worthwhile investment for me.
i bought the 64gb model and did an ssd swap so i never had antiglare to begin with, and it's more a precaution than anything, shit happens and all that.
