This one has been great for me. Feels just like the factory glass. I actually returned a tempered glass protector, because it didn't feel like the factory glass.
The only case I've had a problem with is the Zizo Bolt, but that's only because it wraps up over the sides (edges) where other cases don't. I currently use a Ringke Onyx with no problems.
The best part is that I never have to clean fingerprint smudges. they don't even market it for that, but I don't know why.
Yes, you should have one. If your phone falls face down on a rock, it will crack it. I put this TPU protector on, and it feels just like the phone glass. I replaced a tempered glass protector, because it didn't feel like the phone glass.
Not sure what phone you have but I highly recommend the Tauri two-pack. It includes 2 Flexible Soft TPU Screen Protectors & 2 Tempered Glass Camera lens protectors, and everything you need to install them like a pro.
The link below is for the S21 Ultra, but watch the 3 minute video demonstrating the application of the screen protector with it's "holder" that plugs into the charge port.
Mous makes some FAB-Tastic cases. I use the Mous Clarity clear case for the protection with minimal bulk.
The limitless case from Mous adds a bit more bulk but the protection to bulk ratio is insane. It's also incredibly stylish.
Gear4 by Zagg is a great line of cases as well.
For screen protectors, I use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08PVK25K3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_SYXZZDKF0SDB1HY4W38D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Or AM Film (also on Amazon) is a good choice.
Hope this helps!

Yeah, the tempered glass protectors just don't feel right, but this TPU one feels just as perfect as the phone glass. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PVK25K3/
I like this one because it feels just like the factory glass. The tempered glass ones didn't feel that nice. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PVK25K3/
^This. And the tempereds don't even feel as silky smooth as the phone glass. I got this one, and it feels like there's nothing there at all. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PVK25K3/
I know you said glass, but have you tried the TPU ones? I use this one, and it feels exactly like the factory glass.
Hey man, I feel your pain. I got this one Amazon. It works amazing, the fingerprint sensor works just fine as well. The only downside is: It isn't tempered glass, but it works!

I found this one to be very easy. Pretty much fool proof. Only thing is, the camera protector is a little too thick for my case.
