Do you recommend using a screen protector for iPhone 5?

Does iPhone 5's screen scratch easily with normal use? I'm really careful with my Apple products, but I don't want to have scratches on my screen.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.2

had

2 ipod touch never used one

1 iphone never used one but did crack the back glass a bit a screen protector would not have helped there though

1 ipad crack the front screen a bit from drop doubt a protector would have helped


don't really have much in the ways of scratches on any of them but if you are the type who will try to sell

the device you own as soon as a new one is released then maybe both a rugged case and screen protector would be a good investment

I had my 4s slip out of it's case the week after I purchased it, landed on the garage floor screen down, and I stepped on it. I picked it up and the screen looked totally shattered.


I pealed my screen protector off, and not a scratch on it.


I will never go without one!
