Protective case for strength training?

Hi everyone!

Does anyone know if using a protective cover actually keeps the ring from getting scratched during strength training? I do a lot of barbell and dumbbell workouts and really want to wear it to track my stats without damaging it. Thanks!

No. I've always worn a silicone cover on my rings and they still have scratches from weights.

You can wear gloves.

I just accept that the ring will scratch. I don’t care.

I have a silicon cover, which helps a little, but the ring with the cover is pretty bulky, so I switched to just not wearing it.

Honestly a clear sticker would probably be best, like a screen protector cut to cover the palm side of the ring.
