Screen Protector? Case?

[PhobicCarrot]

Just ordered my 3XL from BestBuy ($100 gift card) plus will have in hand on 18th.

What are y'all doing for screen protection and/or case?

I'll probably get a Spigen case

With it having Gorilla Glass 5, do you need a screen protector anymore?

My understanding is that GG5 is softer but less likely to crack than earlier GG versions. So if you care about scratches, a screen protector is a must.

That's what I was led to believe but then I was told that GG5 is not more prone to scratching.

My understanding on soft vs hardened glass is that soft glass scratches more easily, but is also more flexible and less prone to cracking and shattering. Whereas hardened glass is more scratch resistant but more prone to cracking and shattering. Soft is flexible, hard is brittle.
