I've had bad experiences with screens, I had a Nokia Lumia 900 that fell from about 2 inches high and the screen shred to pieces, the lcd kept working though. I also had a Galaxy S4 that had a 1milimiter crack caused by a coin, while my phone was in my jacket pocket, but this one cracked the lcd so bye bye S4. after that the very first thing I do after getting a phone is get a hard case and a screen protector, I do not care how ugly it may look and I also do not care if it has gorilla glass 1,2,3 or 100. my phones are getting a hard case, I dont mind that all of them look almost the same.
