Are you using a knife to operate your touchscreen? Putting a screen protector on a glass screen that you touch with the tips of your fingers is like wearing a mask while driving your car alone with the windows up, both totally useless 😷

Exactly what I am using - well worth the small cost to prevent any accidental damage. It was a top priority for accessories.

I put the xpel protector on mine. I don't want to wait until it's scratched or there's a dull spot on the screen to find out that it's possible. Is the screen actually glass? If it's gorilla glass or equivalent, you have a point about leaving it naked, but it felt more like a hard plastic to me. The xpel cover seems to shed fingerprints better than the bare screen, which is another benefit.
I always ran one on my C7 once I started seeing a dull spot on the screen in the most frequently touched areas.

Infotainment Screen Protector
Expel has a nice screen protector that covers the complete screen and has a 12 year warranty. Takes them about 30-45 minutes to install. Protects the screen from hand oils which will reduce the screen shine

But won’t the hand oils reduce the shine on the screen protectors?🤷🏻♂️

One thing I've learned on this forum is that many Corvette owners love to cover up every surface possible with films and protectors. It's amazing. Better to live with ugly things over surfaces so the next guy can enjoy it as intended I guess.
