Even if you’ve invested in a protective case, there’s a chance that you’ll drop your phone and shatter the screen. If the crack is minor, you might be tempted to ignore it, and if it’s major, the phone might be difficult to use. In either case, you shouldn’t put off repairs. The guide below explains why you should seek phone repairs as soon as possible.

Why You Should Repair a Cracked Screen

1. Prevent Further Damage

When your screen has a crack in it, the glass is weakened as a whole. If you drop the phone again, it’s likely to develop more damage. Repairs are easier if the glass is cracked and not completely shattered.

Additionally, a cracked screen puts the other hardware at risk. Moisture can enter through holes and damage the screen or limit touch capabilities.

2. Avoid Personal Injury

Cracked phone glass can hurt your fingers as you play games or dial someone’s number. A heavily broken screen can also increase eye strain and make your phone harder to use in natural light, as the shards can refract the rays. Keep your fingers and eyes happy by getting phone repair promptly.

3. Improved Resale Value

When you’re ready to upgrade to a new model, you’ll probably want to resell your old phone to offset the cost. However, reselling may be difficult or impossible with a broken screen.

Even if you offer a substantial discount, the phone may not be appealing to potential buyers who want a device that’s ready to go. Repairing your screen now can get you the best resale price down the line.
