HELP, I am going through screen protectors at a rate that is not okay

I’m losing it!!! I am NOT hard on my stuff. I’ve dropped my phone a few times but it’s usually from below waist height (like it falls out of my pocket)

This rarely if ever happened with my 13pro and I have like five iPads in this household that are fine. My phone is fine, the screen is fine, no dents on the side, no damage to the screen, but I have gone through SO many of the glass protectors.

Two Belkin and two spigen since December!! It’s too much!

I’m wondering if it’s REALLY necessary to have a glass protector for this at all. I have soft “matte” screens for the iPads which may be part of why they aren’t cracking? But I’m nervous! Advice, please!
