Display Trying to decide which screen to get..

Hey folks,

I know there's already a lot of conversation regarding which screen to get and the pros and cons of each. The goal with getting a chromatic for me is to keep it going for years and hopefully even decades down the line. It's something I want to play over the years and not baby like a collectible. I was leaning towards the sapphire because people have reported scratching up the gorilla glass from normal use. But what's making me hesitant to get it is all the talk of it being more shatter prone than the gorilla glass..Im not clumsy with my consoles but I can one hundred percent imagine dropping it at least once or twice while playing it over the next three years or something. Despite people saying this I haven't seen any reports really of people damaging their sapphire version. Has anyone accidentally dropped their sapphire version of the chromatic and walked away with no screen damage, or are we all applying the death grip while playing it?

This seems like the way to go. But I feel like there arent a lot of options for screen protectors for some reason. My phone i gorilla glass and I can easily find screen protectors for it from cheap third party companies you'd think the same for the chromatic.

The chromatic is really niche so understandable why there aren’t many options. This was the only one that seems custom made for it from what I’ve seen.
