This is all a matter of personal preference. I have been using otterboxes for almost 5 years, I have never had a slow responding screen, and I have always been able to sell my phones as practically new because of this. I had a friend, who was against otterboxes, she decided to go with one just to spite me, dropped her phone in the street the very next day, 2 cars and a motor cycle ran over the phone before she got a chance to get to it. The case was banged up, but the phone when taking it out was flawless, so to each there own. I am going with the temperd glass on my iPHone X, and 50 bucks is a bit high for glass screen protectors, I only paid 40 for mine. > On Dec 1, 2017, at 12:05 AM, Tom Lange <lang...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > I don’t like the plastic screen protectors that come with the Otterbox > Defenders.
