I use the matte protectors to reduce the screen reflection.  The
'protection' is of secondary value.  They used to be under a buck
each, but inflation has hit everything.  The selection of matte
protectors is small and I just buy the cheapest.

 So is your matte protector glass or plastic? I've used some plastic
matte ones before but they got scratched up pretty fast and so I haven't
bothered with those any more. Also my installation sucked and there were
always bubbles.

Plastic.  It's 3 years old now, and I have a second one in case of failure.  The guy who replaced my battery put some scratches in it (I don't hold it against him -- the job was a real bitch), but they seem to be healing themselves and are certainly not a problem.
The ones I had for previous phones were harder to apply, had more bubbles, and lifted at the edge.  This one went on easily and was bubble-free.  No idea how they do that.  Got it from Ebay. "Professional SCREENGUARD  THE GREATEST GUARDER FOR LCD SCREEN"  but they're probably all the same.
My phone is mostly on the table next to my computer.  I've dropped it only once (maybe twice) since I've had it, and that was on a rug.

Whatever Samsung put on my phone now has an ugly gash on it so I'm
thinking of replacing the protector. If I could get a durable matte
protector, all the better.
