What Causes Screen Cracks?

Posted on | by

Screen cracks are common among most smartphone users. Screen cracks happen all the time due to avoidable mistakes. Here are the most common causes of a broken screen

Typing with one-hand

Users will often drop their devices when using one hand. Unfortunately, they aren’t able to give their phone the same support with just one thumb and finger.

Battery damage or issues

Your phone’s battery sometimes will put the rest of the device at risk of damage. You need to be aware of when that happens. Overheating, running out of power quickly, etc. In rare instances, this will put the device at a higher risk of cracking.

Avoiding smartphone screen cracking

Screen protectors: while they aren’t perfect, screen protectors are a great route to lower the chance of your screen cracking. They minimize potential damage during drops, heat applied, excessive pressure, etc. Additionally, they keep debris off your screen that may build up.

Pop sockets and grips: adding extra grip to your phone will allow you to carry it more easily. You can easily lose grip on the device without one, and a single drop can turn into an expensive new screen.

Phone holders in the car: keeping your phone safe in the car is essential as well. Additionally, as a driver, your phone will easily become a distraction if it’s loose. Overall, be sure to keep your phone in the holder as often as possible. Again, a single drop can break the screen as well.

Are New Phone Screens Worth It?

Posted on | by

Getting a new phone screen aren’t always necessary even with cracks to the current screen. Repairing your screen is a far more viable option on your current device, which you should take care of quickly. Here are some tips on what to do when you crack your phone screen, and when it becomes more worth it to just get a brand new screen?

What brand of phone are you using?

Each brand of phone carries its own insurance policy for damages. Also, figure out how much is covered in your current warranty or package. Usually, the type of damage and who’s at fault really doesn’t matter much. You should be covered either way for screen replacement.

Can I repair the screen myself?

This is a great route for you to avoid a huge replacement fee from the manufacturer. Unfortunately, depending on the severity, do-it-yourself repairs are usually only temporary fixes. Larger cracks can rarely be repaired without replacement, and you need to handle that as quickly as possible. Although if you did sign up for coverage, you can expect that fee will be minimized.

However, if you didn’t sign up for this coverage, you’ll have fewer options on that end. That’s why it’s a great option to have your phone looked at by a local professional. Then, they can assess the damage and how severe it is, which will then determine if you’re in need of a new screen. Otherwise, we can patch your screen and have a quick turn around to get your phone operating optimally again.

For questions on whether or not it is worth it to pursue a new screen or getting your current one fixed, we’d love to speak with you. Overall, it really will depend on how long the damage has been left to linger, usually. Give us a call today to learn more!

What to Do If You Cracked Your iPhone

Posted on | by

A cracked iPhone is an easy way to ruin anyone’s day. However, we’re here to help and make the road to getting your phone screen fixed a smooth and convenient one.

First off, don’t panic. The best first step is to contact the company whom you purchased the phone from to see if their insurance plan covers cracked screens. If they do, great! The worst-case scenario here would be that you may have to go a few days without a phone while they fix it, but if you have an old phone handy, you can use that in the meantime.

Another option that may be more convenient for you would be to find a local repair shop such as ours to take your cracked phone to where an experienced technician can fix the screen in just hours instead of days.

If you cannot afford either of the previously mentioned options, there is always the option to sell your phone in the current state that it’s in to be able to fund buying a whole new phone.

  • Whichever option you decide to go with, be sure to back up all the data on your phone to be sure you won’t lose any important information during the repair or replacement process
  • From the time you crack your phone screen until the time you actually repair or replace it, it is a good idea to put a screen protector on so that you don’t cut your fingers
  • If you decide you would rather try fixing your phone yourself, you can buy a phone repair kit and follow online tutorials to get the job done without having to hire anyone to do it for you or get the phone replaced altogether (which may not be in your budget)
