I use a screen protector, so I can't comment on that part, but I am noticing some issues with the usb connector. While the charger that came with the phone works perfectly, the car charger, and a backup charger sometimes just stop charging the phone for no reason at all. I imagine this is more about the chargers than the phone, since one works fine, but it is a little odd that the two different chargers started experiencing the problem the same day.
