How essential do you feel the screen cover is?

I've finally decided that I want to get a Playdate. One of the ways that I'm justifying the crazy price to myself is that I want something high-quality (as opposed to the much cheaper Chinese handhelds) and fun that can actually fit in my pocket.

I enjoyed my Steam Deck, but I'm ready to sell it just because there isn't much point for me to have a dedicated handheld that I can't easily carry around with me. It seems like the Playdate will actually be a front pocket console for me!

Since I plan on carrying it around a lot, I was thinking it might be worth it to just go all-in and get a screen cover as well, but how good are they really?

Do you wish you had one if you don't have one, and do you use it a lot if you do have it?
Does it make it too bulky for pockets?

Thanks! I'm excited to play around with it.
