First, assess the damage, and that means getting your phone on a solid surface and in a good light, not just giving it a quick once-over before stuffing it back in your pocket. With a little bit of stress testing and careful prodding you should be able to work out whether the screen is about to fall off or fail completely. In a lot of cases it will stay in place, cracks and all, so you can at least keep tweeting, so long as the screen is still visible and functioning. It is possible to replace a phone screen on your own. We’ll refer you to iFixit for their excellent, step-by-step guide with photos. A few key things to keep in mind here: Before you decide to go this route, look into the cost of the replacement screen. Today’s phone screens, which incorporate touch interaction and possibly biometric sensors, don’t come cheap.

Longer lifetime for you iPhone or other mobile phone brands? Wiping the screen & camera lens with a micro fiber cloth, and using a screen guard, helps in keeping the display free from dirt & scratches. A good mobile cover or carry pouch is a sensible option for protecting the phone from drops and scratches. In addition, it is advisable to clean the mobile case occasionally.

After you have your phone repaired maybe it’s time to buy a better screen protection ?
