While it is true that phone screens are getting stronger every year, they still aren’t strong enough to warrant going without a screen protector. The reason why is simple: sand is hard. That may sound like a joke, but it’s actually a serious problem. Sand can be made from a lot of materials, but one of the most common is quartz. And quartz happens to be just hard enough to scratch most man-made materials, including glass.

The result is that it only takes a bit of sand left in your pocket, your backpack, or on any surface to add a new scratch to your phone screen. Newer screens are harder than old ones, but they are still made from glass, and they can still be scratched by quartz. And that’s only one of the ways your phone screen can get damaged. A good impact-resistant Pixel screen protectorclick here if you’re looking for one — can also help absorb impacts to the screen, adding some degree of additional drop protection to the phone.
