Do you really need a "screen protector" if you're using a highly secured shock absorption bumper case? I mean it's basically just a see-thru sticker isn't it?

It has atleast once protected my screen from a scratch from something sharp. As for drops your bumper case should do the needful.

I think it's up to personal preferences, but I was really unimpressed with an Otterbox Defender and basically ended up with a highly secured case full of fine dust and a scratched screen. Stick-on protectors work better for my needs.

You will definitely need a screen protector to protect against scratches. Gorilla glass will also need a screen protector despite what they advertise.

a screen protector will help protect my phone from getting scratched by my keys or loose coins in my pocket whereas a bumper case would not do that

Yes! A screen protector will prevent scratches and smudges on your screen, as well as more evenly distributing the force of perpendicular impacts to your screen and reducing glare in direct sunlight. A plus of this brand is that virtually any substance I have encountered on my phone screen comes off with a quick wipe on the corner of my shirt or a cloth.

I would have to say it's more for looks than protection. It just provided a hug around the rim. It does not cover the screen at all.

Yeah, you'll need a screen protector. There's a lip around the edge of the phone to keep it from breaking the screen, but no actual cover for the screen. I use a screen protector because I keep my phone in the same pocket as my car keys.

You need a separate protector. There is no screen protector built in, the screen is exposed

I don't remember mine coming with a screen protector. If it did I didn't care to use it. The case protects it enough for me and I like the clarity of the screen without a protector on.

No.the lip of the case sticks up above the screen slightly. No need for a screen protector

I got an e-mail from the seller not long after giving my review that said, and I quote: "we do hear from some customers that they prefer to put a screen protector on their device in order to protect the screen and create more traction between the device and screen". What I gathered is that it is almost necessary to buy a screen protector if you intend to use this product.

It's only a bumper case won't protect your screen if something drops on it. Mine works great for what I want. I ordered the 10 pack and never had to replace the first one I put on months ago

No built in screen protector... but a great case for protection. I left my Galaxy 2s on the car and drove off, hearing a thump I looked in the rear view mirror to see the phone tumbling down the road at 30 mph.... I was sure it would be dead broken. A couple of cars came close to running it over too. The rubber case came off, the plastic case came off, the back cover came off the battery flew out... Put it all back together and it worked fine! Wow! Every part was fine, even the case kickstand was ok. Great protection. I've dropped it several times on the cement. Still ok. Yep, I'd buy another.. In fact I bought 3.

Screen is exposed. I like mine that way. I want full access to the screen. It does help absorb stock if dropped, though.

It all depends on how much protection you really feel that you want. I have the 3.0, and I am sure that it has saved my bumper some serious dings!

Yes, totally! There is a clear plastic screen protector built into the front of the case. No need for any other protection for this device if you are using this case.

This will not protect any mechanical damage to screen (crack/break etc) from a fall. its just a screen protector, not a bumper case. It can though, protect your screen from accidental scratches or smudges. The touch sensors are not affected by the protector, it works perfectly fine.

Screen protector is a must for all new phones (IMHO) however I don't think an extra layer of protection is needed besides the case. This case will protect your phone from accidental drops & slips.

Yes, this is a screen and scratch protection ONLY! It will do virtually nothing for drop protection. A silicone or soft rubber case will assist greatly as hard cases don't absorb impact as well. This is a great screen protector when paired with a good case. I prefer it over the Otterbox system.

This case does not cover the screen. However the corners are raised by its gummy covering so if it falls its less impact so your screen will not directly hit the floor. I don't think you would need a screen protector, but if the added protection makes you feel better do it.

I wouldn't use it without a screen protector on the phone itself. I haven't had any issues because the front comes out far enough so if it did drop it wouldn't land directly on the screen, but I'd still buy a screen protector for added security.
