Having a screen protector is totally a personal preference and whether you think it is worth it or not. I have always been very careful with all of my iPhones I have had and treated them like they were made of gold, but the fact is, no matter how careful I am, there is always a chance of an unexpected accident happening. I mean, that is what an accident is. Something that unexpectedly happens that we do not plan on. So it just depends on whether or not you want some extra protection in case that unexpected accident does happen. I personally put all of my phones in an OtterBox cummunitor case. Since these cases do not have the screen protector built in like the OtterBox Defender, I do put a screen protector on all of my phones. As we all know, purchasing an iPhone is not cheap, and is something like an investment, so anything I can do to help protect my investment, that is what I do.
