Screen Protectors - Yay or Nay?

[DRJ564]

My Twraps protectors stayed on for about a week. I tried to like them but the clarity just isn’t there with them on. I have yet to scratch a screen in a vehicle. The only advantage is no/less finger prints.

We have the Twraps clear screen protector. Works as advertised, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it seemed to make the touchscreen a bit more sensitive. Prior to the protector I found myself poking at things like the camera button a time or two before it would take, seems to be 1st time now.

Might be the placebo effect but that was not something I was anticipating and I really do think it's better w/the protector.

No, they are awful and completely unnecessary. Protect the screen from ... WHAT? And on phones, they can actually make some damage worse. It's a dumb fallacy.

I have an English Bulldog in the car... he doesn't care what he steps on.

I’m a big advocate of screen protectors. Others never are as careful as you are around your truck. After finding scratches on screens on our other cars that I don’t drive, I’m happy to lose screen clarity and put them on all our screens. My rationale is that you will always see the scratch even where others don’t. Just get it done.

IDK, I'm not sure it makes any sense to cover my glass screen with a sticker that still still picks up fingerprints and scratches. Then I'm just stuck wiping down a sticker. I haven't personally encountered any glare issues. I keep a microfiber cloth in the console and quickly wipe down the screens once or twice a week.
The whole "protect it with a sticker" concept seems like a money-making construct to me. Paint should be durable. Glass should be durable. Covering things with stickers does not eliminate the need to clean. Who's rockin' plate protection film instead of doing dishes? How about using a daily "skid mark protector" film in your underwear instead of changing it and doing laundry? Where does it end?

There is a ton of reasons why plastic on paint otherwise known as Paint Protection Film PPF is a extremely very good thing. For starters, it does quite well precisely what the plastic name says it is.
