I'm sure you've talked about this before, but my quesion is a little >different:
If I have Gorilla Glass 5 for my screen, do I still need a screen
protector?
Do I want a film protector or tempered glass? I guess my big concern
is whether I can put it on straight and without bubbles, and whether it
makes tapping harder to do.
TIA

I should add that I carry my phone in my pocket with no keys or anything

I've had it for 100 or 200 days without scratching it yet,

Not needed. Buy a bumper with edges slightly higher than the level of
the glass.
Works here for 15 years on Androids and iPhones after I bricked two
iPhone 3Gs.

Not needed. in fact, more of a hindrance than a help. Same goes for iPad
and other devices.
I've been carrying mobile phones around everywhere I go for decades
(usually in a breast-high coat pocket) without detriment of any kind.
There are, however, some very clumsy people around. I've seen women
reach into bags and drop phones on the ground; teenagers who love to
throw their friends' phones around, and even pre-school kids drop cheap
ones. But I doubt a simple screen-protector would have benefitted there.

It's glass. No amount of advertising of clever names changes that.
Just like you want an animal skin on your hands when you're hoeing the >garden, you want glass on top of glass on a phone.
Someone else's skin protects your skin. Same with phones.
Until they make the screen out of something other than glass, that will >always be the case that you will need to protect it from falls & scratches.
I will stop putting leaves and lawn trash in my right pocket and I
will turn all my pockets inside out to get rid of any sand or dirt
that is sitting at the bottom now. Of course, if I do scratch it,
I'll regret this plan.

How about a phone holster?

How about a phone holster? There's no screen scratching and an added
benefit is that it not only leaves the pants pocket free for more
important junk but is also easier to answer than a pocketed ringing
phone when sitting down. But be careful. Some cheap holsters can fall
off your belt and/or the phone fall out. Mine costs a bit more but
locks securely to my belt and also locks the phone in the holster
so accidental loss is near impossible...

I'm already retired too. ;-)
A more than 6" smartphone in a holster is not an option!
For a Smith & Wesson it is.

What (AFAIK) has not been mentioned yet, is a 'book cover'. I have
used them for 'all' (three) my phones. (The first one was a 'flip' one,
i.e. had the hinge at the bottom instead of on the left side, but the
basic idea is the same.)
They offer good/adequate protection, at least for my kind of use.
Yes, it takes somewhat more time to pick up a phone call, but phone
calls are *SO* last century.
The inside normally has space for some creditcard-sized cards. So when
I take my phone, I have all I need for most situations.
Small downside: With the book cover, the phone does not fit well/
easily in a holder to use for navigation while driving, so I have to
take the phone out of the (flexible plastic) 'mounting' in the 'book'.
That's a 'problem' for my T-Ford prototype, but more modern cars
probably have Android Auto, so you can use the big screen for
navigation.
BUT, don't judge the book by its cover!

My state (AZ-USA) allows open holster or concealed carry, no permit
required. So the big decision of the day is: Gun in the pocket and phone
in the holster or visa versa... ;)

Sounds good to me. I think you're the first person to tell me what I
wanted to hear.

This must be partly because they always have the phone in their hand,
instead of a pocket I don't understand that.
Have you seen the video -- I think think there are two different ones --
of someone dropping her phone at Sea World or some such place, and the >dolphin goes down, gets it, and brings it back up to her? It's not
like they play Fetch with dolphins. He knew what was appropriate, by >thinking, I guess.

The pockets in women's pants are not all that functional, especially the
ones in 'cargo shorts' which will carry a credit card and driver's
license, a car key and maybe a lipstick. The book-cover things seem desirable, but would never fit in a back pocket. Why in hell NOT make women's jeans' front pockets longer?
I put a faux-leather back+edge cover on mine and a matte plastic screen protector on the front. What I want is neon orange or green
(blinkylights would be even better) so I can find it easily in my purse,
but those colors seem to be out of fashion now. Either the protectors
have gotten better or I've gotten more skillful, because I put the last
one on without a single bubble. When the guy changed the battery he put
a few scratches in the protector, but they seem to be healing themselves through some magical power. Matte is essential.

I've tried a couple and they fell off my belt.
Which one do you have that doesn't fall?
