How long would you be able to cope without your iPhone?
The glass screen is the iPhone's major weakness. A number of deep scratches can make the touch screen difficult to use, whilst a broken screen signals the end of your phone. If you regularly backup your iPhone to iTunes then most of your data will be safe however, who wants to go through the painful exercise of having to replace your iPhone and reconfigure the settings. A better option is to prevent the damage in the first place.
A simple, relatively cheap but effective way of protecting your iPhone's screen is to install an iPhone screen protector. Screen protectors are made from an extremely tough, clear plastic film that has been designed to adhere to the front of your iPhone to completely isolate and protect the screen from objects that might damage your phone. Once installed these screen protectors are almost impossible to detect with your finger yet they provide a completely scratch proof surface upon which you can operate your iPhone from.
