The Dangers of Using a Cracked iPhone Screen

Posted on: 02/03/2022

Every new iPhone owner enjoys the feeling of the all-glass casing the iPhone has when holding their new iPhone for the first time. The reality that quickly sets in though – is that it can be difficult to protect such a fragile device; a device which most people carry around with them all day. As people spend more time on the go, the danger of cracking the phone’s screen is very high.

 

How to Protect Your iPhone?

 At I Repair Cracked Screens, we recommend all our customers buy an iPhone case and a screen protector along with their new iPhone. Doing so usually pays off in the long run. A few cases our team recommends are listed below:

Otterbox Commuter Series – The Otterbox Commuter Series offers users all-around protection while also giving them a stylish look. As Otterbox puts it, the case offers “Protection for life on the go.” The two-layer protection offered prevents dust from infiltrating your phone as well.

Spigen Slim Armor – The Spigen Slim Armor case offers extra protection while also staying pocket friendly. As many users know, the bulky cases make it difficult to fit your phone in your pocket. However, with the Spigen Slim Armor case, that is no longer an issue. One of the most popular features of this case is its built-in kickstand, which offers hands-free viewing.

Nomad Rugged Case – The Nomad Rugged Case offers users a stylish leather look while providing the rugged protection required to prevent scuffs and cracks. The new internal shock absorption bumper provides 10ft drop protection to users and the leather is sourced from America’s oldest tanneries – located in Chicago.

 

Should You Use Your Phone With a Cracked Screen?

 In the event you crack or shatter your iPhone’s screen, we recommend you get it replaced as soon as possible. While some may think the iPhone is still usable, the risks of using an iPhone with a cracked screen are pretty serious:

Cut Fingers – With a cracked screen, you put your fingers and health at risk. When sliding or swiping on the screen, the little shards of glass can cause cuts and scrapes on your fingers.

It Can Get Worse – As experts in the iPhone industry, we have seen many cracked and shattered screens and what we know for sure is they always get worse over time. One of the reasons we recommend fixing the cell phone immediately is to prevent further damage that often results in costly repairs.

No Longer Water Resistant – While all new iPhones are water resistant, once your iPhone screen gets cracked or shattered the iPhone is not waterproof anymore until you get it repaired.

Eye Strain – It has been proven that a cracked screen causes eyestrain for the iPhone user, which can lead to long term medical issues.
