What are the best protective accessories for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE?

Question

What are the best protective accessories for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE that will actually keep it from breaking? I'm upgrading from an old Galaxy S10—which has a completely shattered screen right now—so I’m really nervous about this new one. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have no idea where to start with all the tech terms. I looked at 'tempered glass' online, but then saw 'liquid' protectors too and it’s just confusing. I need:

Something for the screen

A case that isn't too bulky (it's already a big phone)

Protection for those huge camera lenses

I saw people mentioning Spigen, but they have so many options I got overwhelmed... do I need a special 'rugged' one?

I have been testing phone protection setups since the S5 days. Last year I dropped my phone 4 feet onto a concrete driveway while getting out of my car. The Spigen Liquid Air Samsung Galaxy S24 FE saved it, though the grip pattern wears down after six months of heavy use. Here are the specific setups I compared for the S24 FE footprint: 1. Spigen Liquid Air Samsung Galaxy S24 FEPros: 0.11-inch thickness, geometric grip, fits into car mounts easily.Cons: Minimal lip for the screen; if it hits a rock face-down, you might have issues. 2. Ringke Onyx Samsung Galaxy S24 FEPros: Enhanced side grip texture, MIL-STD-810G drop protection, lanyard holes.Cons: Slightly wider than the Spigen, makes one-handed use harder on a 6.7-inch device. 3. UAG Pathfinder Series Samsung Galaxy S24 FEPros: High 18-foot drop protection, oversized tactile buttons.Cons: Very bulky, adds significant weight, expensive. For the screen, skip liquid protectors. I tested one on an old S21 and it scratched within a week from pocket sand. Get the amFilm OneTouch Tempered Glass Screen Protector S24 FE. It comes with an alignment tool that guarantees zero bubbles. It measures 0.33mm thick and maintains perfect ultrasonic fingerprint sensor response. Anyway, the Liquid Air with the amFilm glass is the most balanced setup for size vs safety.

I'm no expert but I just looked into this last week.

Screen: Stick with tempered glass from Spigen. Liquid protectors won't prevent cracks.

Case: Any Spigen case is a safe bet. They offer good protection without being huge.

Cameras: Most cases from that brand have raised edges to keep the lenses off flat surfaces.
