Your cellphone goes everywhere with you and must withstand a variety of environments and punishments. You might drop it, throw it into your bag, sit on it, knock it off your desk, or otherwise abuse it accidentally. Any of these can result in a cracked screen. Here are some of the best tips to help you keep from cracking your screen and avoid mobile device or iPhone^® repairs.

How to Avoid Cracking Your Cellphone’s Screen

1. Use a Phone Case

A hard case, thick rubber sleeve, or even a leather wallet style protector is designed to guard your phone against damage if it should fall. Moreover, the size and material of the case make it easier for you to hold on to, so it's even less likely you'll drop the device. 

2. Use a Purse or Backpack Pocket

Carelessness is one of the chief causes of cracked screens and the need for iPhone repairs. Don't simply throw the phone into the bottom of your purse or backpack; you might crack the screen when you drop the bag on the ground or stack heavy books in it. Always place it in one of the bag's front pockets for protection.

3. Store It in One Place

Choose a convenient place to store the device and always take the time to return it to its spot. Never leave the phone lying on a chair, in a bed, or on the sofa where someone might sit on it; even a smaller person's weight is enough to crack the screen. It’s best to keep it in the same location whenever you’re home, so you always know where it is and won’t accidentally damage it.
