Payzmaykr 08/25/23 8:44:37 PM #4:	I have one on my iPhone 14. Its not nearly as bulky as the old school ones. I also drop my phone a lot and these are pretty strong. I had a cheap cover for my previous phone (iPhone 7 plus). It worked great, but it fell to pieces. When that happened, one small drop broke the screen. Also, my otter box case has a built in screen protector and I really dont like putting those on otherwise <cite>Payzmaykr posted [p:975665708] in What happe...
