I’m one of those overly cautious people. If I’m going on a trip, I’ll overpack to cover every scenario, however unlikely it may be. I’ll then set off for the airport an hour or so before I realistically need to. Some friends find this ludicrous, but I’m all about avoiding unnecessary risks. It’s just the way I’m wired.
So when I picked up the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus in the Black Friday sales, I obviously ordered a screen protector and a case at the same time. It was a no-brainer for me, and I assumed everyone would be the same — why wouldn’t you protect a $1,000 smartphone with an $8 protector? I’ve had phones with cracked screens before, and it sucks. Plus, a screen protector is much cheaper than insurance.
