Risks of a screen crack on your phone

A crack in your screen is super irritating. For example, it runs right through your front camera making all your perfect selfies a thing of the past or the crack makes reading whatsapps a real puzzle. But more importantly, your monitor can actually break down and stop giving you a picture. So you run the risk that your entire screen will quit and then you won’t be able to access your data. So it is wise to act promptly with a crack in your screen. We have warned you!

Increased chance of water damage with cracks in my screen?

As soon as a drop of water slips into the crack of the screen, your smartphone can eventually break down internally, and then you are even further from home.
