I paid $200 for an iPhone SE about 5 years ago, then put the phatest case I could find and a tempered glass screen protector on it. It’s practically in mint condition besides 3 battery replacements, and I can use it one handed!
Case and (glass) screen protector. The phone itself is in perfect condition. The screen protector has scratches. No protection plan or anything like that…
I use a screen protector and case. I tend to drop and scratch phones so it’s for the best. No protection plan though. I should replace the screen protector as it started peeling on one corner a few months back.
cheap case (no front cover), stock (came pre-applied) screen protector thats scratched to hell from my nails swiping across it. thats it, no cracks or other damages except miniscule (like 0.5mm) chips in three of the corners from dropping it constantly.
Are you sure it’s not just a plastic film rather than a protector as such? I’ve been fooled before.
yep definitely a protector, just not a high quality tempered glass one. it has cutouts for the camera and all and there was a protective sleeve over it.
