Most of you may have a glass display screen protector and a silicone case in your cellphone, based mostly on the outcomes from final week’s ballot. Issues haven’t modified a lot from two years in the past, though the relative recognition of some issues has shifted.
Let’s begin with the protector – almost half of customers have a glass one on their cellphone. This additionally implies that we heard quite a lot of complaints about curved screens within the feedback. These make making use of a glass protector troublesome (and the protectors themselves are pricier than flat ones).
The plastic display screen protector rose in recognition in comparison with the 2021 ballot, although it stays a really distant second. Nonetheless, now a self-applied plastic protector is a extra in style selection than simply maintaining no matter protector was put in on the manufacturing unit (it was the opposite method round two years in the past).
Based mostly on the remark part, most of you don’t have religion that bare Gorilla Glass is robust sufficient in opposition to scratches and cracks. Even so, 1 / 4 of all voters assume it’s in reality sufficient and use no additional safety.
Transferring on to the circumstances, once more half of you may have a silicone case. That was the preferred possibility again in 2021 and it’s much more so now. In the meantime, skinny circumstances have fallen off a bit and are actually as frequent as cumbersome rugged circumstances. Fancy circumstances – ones product of leather-based or with additional options – should not notably in style.
In the case of cellphone safety, a case is mainly vital – solely round 1 in 10 go with no case. That’s so much much less in comparison with the variety of individuals with no display screen protector.
The ultimate query within the ballot was round subscription providers like AppleCare+ and Samsung Care+. These price a month-to-month price however promise a less expensive display screen substitute. Only a few individuals use these (lower than 7%), maybe as a result of the circumstances and protectors do a adequate job and display screen replacements are not often wanted.
