Practical experience told us screen protectors are the best way to minimize cracks in, scratches on or the shattering of your physical screen. While they vary in price, most aren’t terribly expensive: Plastic ones typically cost less than $15, while glass screen protectors range from around $15 to upward of $50.
Please noted it’s worth investing in a good screen protector to avoid potentially shelling out hundreds of dollars to replace a broken display. Plus, an intact display is one major factor in determining the value of a used device if you want to resell or trade it in for a newer model in the future.
Scratching or damaging your screen is easier than you might think. If you carry your phone in your purse, backpack or pocket with change or keys, the screen “can easily get visible scratches from [those] hard surfaces,” which can “weaken the integrity of the original display and cause cracks more easily,” said mobile phone repairman.
There are limitations to what a screen protector can do, though: “It isn’t going to cover every square millimeter of the glass display,” said owner of Phone Repair Store. The protector also usually won’t protect the back, edges and corners of your phone — the experts we spoke to suggested pairing a screen protector with a heavy-duty case with rubber edges that’ll absorb the impact of a drop and prevent damage.
