I got my first smartphone in 2011. I got my first iPhone in 2016. I bought an iPhone XR in the fall of 2019, and got a glass screen protector with it, mainly because by then Apple had those nice jigs that let the staff put it on in about three minutes perfectly. In January 2021, my phone fell about a foot from my pocket, landed screen-down on the driveway. A chip in the glass screen protector eventually (about three months) turned into a crack. I went to Apple and had another screen protector turned on. That's the only time I've come close to damaging a smartphone or tablet screen.
