Even with a phone case and gorilla glasses, it is really important to give the smartphone screen another level of protection. This applies not only to the frontal screen: it is also essential to provide the same care to the lens on the back of the phone.
Glass screen protectors will not prejudice the touch response and are very important to avoid cracks that can affect inner parts or connectors. Some smartphones have a glass that can be easily replaced. Nevertheless, in other cases, the whole piece with video card and chips must be changed if there is damage.
