Bumper case or Screen protector

[johntclever78]

Just got my Charge 5 and love how thin and light it is.  

I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep the screen free of scratches and wondering is it better to get a bumper case or a screen protector?  

Any personal recommendations are GREATLY appreciated!

Try Amazon @johntclever78 

Personally I haven't had any issues with the glass screens, and haven't used any protection.

I would also like feedback. My Charge 5 is less than 2 weeks old and I noticed a small scratch last night. Tiny, but deep enough my fingernail can catch on it. I am the caregiver for my family and frequently have my hands in water. I always put my Charge in my pocket whenever it might get really wet.

I like the looks of the film protector, but wonder if it will turn loose with all the in and out of my pocket. Also, do they turn loose because of sleeping while wearing it? Like having that wrist under your pillow?

I don't have a cover on my phone and have never seen a scratch -- kinda thought that since the Charge also has Gorilla Glass, I wouldn't need a cover. Oh, well...

@Tex66 I've always used films on my Fitbits and they work well for me. They seem to last 4 to 6 months before the edges start to curl up and I need to replace them.

Thank you! I think I will go with that. I'll be happy if something stays on 2-3 months, 4-6 would be great!

One drawback to the case-type protector that I have read is that they can interfere with the band connection. And it looks kinda cheap to me, too.

@Tex66 I buy IQ Shield films on Amazon. There are 6 of them in a box. That's enough to last me a good, long time. They're pretty cheap too. Maybe $8 or 9...
