Do you have to use the screen protector, or is that optional?

You do not have to use the screen protector. It works very well and removes easily. Very good case for the price.

It is optional. When using the screen protector, the touch function is a little less sensitive and you need to press a little harder than if you do not use it. Personally, I"m glad I use it. I've a few scratches on the protector & I do not know how they came about. But, I do know that my phone's face looks new & my phone is now over 1 year old. Hope this helps some.

The screen protector is optional, It is better to use it your screen is protected from scratches, cracks, and etc. Also when you drop your phone.

No, you do not need to use the screen protector. If you do not need the belt holster, you might consider one of the other Ballistic cases available as they are less expensive, such as the SG0930-M005 and use a ZAGG or Media Devil Screen Protector. This is what I did for my personal phone.

With this case, you won't need any screen protector. The case totally encapsuates the phone. The only difference I notice is the sound.

No, you still need a screen protector. The case snaps around the edges but doesn't cover anything that functions on the phone.

The case does not include a cover, so you will need to purchase this separately if you want a screen protector.

No need for screen protector as you slide the phone into otterbox and has a protector screen.

Yes, the screen protector is separate. And no, you don't have to use it. It's a regular peel off screen protector that you can put on your iPhone or not; it's not needed for the armband. The armband itself has no screen protector, nor does it depend on the screen protector.

It doesn't, if your screen is clean. If there is dirt for it to drag around, that's another thing. For peace of mind, I'd get a screen protector, but it is not absolutely necessary.

Yes, you can. It came with a flimsy screen protector that was ridiculous so I bought a tempered glass screen protector instead. The case is wonderful by the way, so it didn't matter that the screen protector was a piece of junk. The case itself is worth it.

No the screen protector is attached to the case so you don't need to have a screen protector if its in the case. Hope that answers your question.

I know people who use it without the screen protector. Seems to work fine. I like the protector.

Yes, not only do I keep my screen protector on, and the case itself is essentially another screen protector, but I apply ANOTHER screen protector onto the Seidio's 'screen protector.' I know it seems like overkill, but I figure the only time I use it is when the phone may be exposed to rough handling and the screen is the MOST vulnerable area (The way I see it, you only get it wrong ONCE!).

no, you have to buy your own screen protector. however, we love this case compared to the otter box defender cases that we used to have. It's less bulky, and I've dropped it a few time and every time it does it's job.

It comes with a screen protector that you are not required to use. It comes unattached from the case unlike some Otterbox cases.

You dont need it, its nice to have helps keep the screen from getting cloudly from the finger prints and skin oils. I find the navigation a bit easier.

The screen protector is your option and is not required if you don't want it.

No protector needed. There is felt around the edge that protects the screen. I Recomend this item. :)

The screen protector is optional according to the person I purchased this for. It comes with one that you have to install manually.
