The last time I got a new cell phone, I immediately started looking for a case that would fit it and cover the screen. I found one after four days. Unfortunately, I cracked the screen after three days :-(
This time, I've had the new phone for a week and a half, during which time I've been intermittently looking for a case that would fit it and cover the screen (and leaving the plastic-wrap that came with the phone, for some semblance of protection). The Apple store doesn't sell cases that cover the screen. Target doesn't sell cases that cover the screen. Indeed, they seem baffled that anybody would want a case that protects against the most common failure mode of cell phones. Anyway, I seem to have cracked the screen yesterday. Ordered a case today; it should show up tomorrow.
Next phone: buy the case before buying the phone. If nobody makes a case that covers the screen, don't buy the phone.
I'm really puzzled: why do people buy phone cases if not to protect the phone's most fragile part? Not all of them even have pink sparkles, so that can't be it....
