I do have a screen protector but it has a cutout so the proximity sensor isn't covered.
If you get the bulb too close the proximity sensor would be closed no matter what.

Anyway, a screen protector does not necessary inhabit the sensibility. I read from other forum that an anti-glare protector would actually help in some cases.

I didn't recommend this as a solution as I don't have a proof on that claim. I just want to say you may not need to punch a hole on the screen protector to improve sensor effectiveness.
