Do I really need a plastic screen protector for my iPhone 5c?

I'm just wondering if the screen will scratch very easily if I put it in the same pocket that my keys are in and stuff like that, I don't care if you recommend one I just want to know if I NEED one

No you don't, it won't get stracth that easily. I've dropped my phone like gazillion times and never gotten a scratch or crack.

Yes!
It may not scratch *easily*, but one scratch and the phone is permanently damaged and the screen more likely to crack.

Get a glass screen protector off ebay - that's harder than the phone screen and disposable if it ever does get badly scratched or cracked.

  • Would My iPhone Screen Crack If I Take Off The Otterbox Plastic Screen? I Have A iPhone 5 With An Otterbox Defender Case. It Has A Plastic On The Screen iWas Wondering If iTook Of The Plastic Will My Screen Crack If It Falls?
  • Will a glass or plastic film phone BACK protector stay on the phone securely whilst using a Spigen ring? Does the protector adhere well enough that it won't come off of the phone when using the ring for what it's intended for? Will constant tugging of the ring cause bubbles under the glass protector or damage the plastic film? Examples would be glass back protector on the all glass iPhone back, or in my situation a plastic wet film installed on the "matte" glass back of the Pixel 3… With a Spigen ring installed onto the protector.
  • Rugged/waterproof iPhone 5 case compatible with screen protector/back film protector? Was wondering if there's any iPhone 5 case out there that is compatible with a screen protector and/or a back film protector on the iPhone itself? I understand cases like Lifeproof need you to remove your screen protector so it can maintain it's waterproof abilities. Was just looking for a case that can work both ways.
  • My iphone screen gets scratched even with screen protector? I have an iphone 4 in white and i bought it with a screen protector. I keep it very safe, never dropped, i, never put it in a pocket full of stuff.yet, i have several hairline scratches.within a week's use. I don't think i pressed that hard on the screen either. I treated my iphone 3g with the same treatment and even dropped it twice. I didn't even have a screen protector on it! So why does my iphone 4 keep getting scratched!
