Are screen protectors still important if you have a cover?

So we all know that protecting our screens is important...But I think that the screens on mobile devices are good enough to not get damaged if you just use your fingers or maybe a stylus on them, the only things that can really damage them are let's say things in your pocket/purse/ect. like keys.

So if you have a cover over your device (like in the pics below) is it still a good idea to get a screen protector? I mean sure it doesn't hurt just to be safe, but ''good'' screen protector can cost quite a lot, and the foils and the cheap ones just don't have that nice feel when your using them... So what are your guys thoughts? I recently started thinking this, because I am buying a tablet and I'm gonna have a cover for it, so I didn't really know if I should get the screen protector or not.

I have neither and my last phone was pristine after a full year of use.

 

I mean, even if you get one, surely both is way overkill :P

I'd still use one, so you have a layer of protection when you're actually using the device, and an extra one when the cover is closed.

Well, yes, if you have a screen protector on, it makes the glass less likely to shatter, it's why whe carrying glass, you have that plunger thing on the glass. Screen protectors work in the same way.

I'm not worried about my screen in my pocket, I'm worried about it if I drop it. If I have a flip cover and drop it face first while it's open.... I'd still want a tempered glass screen protector to be on my phone.

If you drink a lot, I don't think there's a limit to how much protection to your phone is necessary.

 

I have an expensive screen protector and an inexpensive but big thick phone cover, thus, I drink a lot.
