When you want to connect with loved ones, look up information, or navigate an unfamiliar location, you may pull out your mobile phone. Since most people use their devices often, cracked phone screens are common. While screen replacement restores the glass when this occurs, there are also some accessories that help you prevent damage.

How Can You Prevent a Phone Screen From Breaking?

1. Screen Protector

A professional can install tempered glass over your existing screen. If you drop the device, the thin sheet bears the damage, safeguarding the second layer. Simply remove the cracked protector and have it replaced to preserve your phone from future cracks.

Alternatively, use an adhesive protector to prevent surface scratches.

2. Case

Be selective when choosing a case, as not all of them offer screen protection.

A bumper case has a lip that keeps the screen from meeting the ground if you drop the device. Since cracks can still occur if you drop your phone on its back, choose an option with a thick rubber backing.

3. Pop Socket

Since the phone’s back is sleek, it’s easy to let it slip when you hold it. To prevent accidents, get a pop socket.

This is a circular piece of plastic you attach to the back of the phone to improve your grip. You can pop the tab out to hold your phone around your finger when taking a selfie or browsing.
