3 Things To Do After Breaking A Smartphone Screen

- So you’ve broken your smartphone’s screen. Now, what? It’s a heartbreaking experience, especially when it’s a new device.
Looking for the best iPhone/smartphone screen protector? Check this video out: • Top 5 TOUGHEST Glass S...
Looking for the best Apple Watch screen protector? Here's my goto: • The BEST Screen Protec...
We’ve broken enough iPhones to know that getting AppleCare on an iPhone is worth it. We’d insure our Samsung devices but our Canadian TelCo’s are awful to deal with.
Insurance is a moot point if you’re already staring at a broken smartphone screen. Here’re three tips for you when it comes to dealing with your cracks on your smartphone. If you’re wondering how we’ve come up with these tips, we’ve had a lot of experience breaking screens and screen protectors in the last few years. Check out the compilation video at the bottom of the page.
1. DON’T TAKE ANYTHING OFF
If you have a screen protector on it already, keep it on! If you try to take it off, you’re going to end up pulling off some of the glass off the touch screen. In the video, we show the back of a Zagg HDX screen protector that didn’t protect the iPhone’s touchscreen. You can clearly see shards of glass stuck to the back of the protector. Nothing good can come from removing the screen protector as you won’t be able to put it back on. The usability of your device is going to take an even bigger hit.
As a side note, if you think your screen protector is cracked, spend a few minutes looking closely at the cracks to see if you can see if the accident managed to damage the devices screen. If the screen protector is cracked and the screen looks fine, try to remove it. Glass screen protectors have an adhesive film which should allow you to pull it off. Protect your work area with applying tape to the screen protector before removal will help limit glass shards from going everywhere.
If you break it inside a case with a removable screen protector (like an Otterbox Defender), you can probably remove the device from the case and use Tip #2. However, if it is an adhesive based screen protector (Like the Speck MightyShell or Thule Atmos X4), don’t remove it because you’ll make the cracked screen even worse.
2. KEEP YOUR FINGERS SAFE BY USING PACKING TAPE
If you’re planning to replace your broken smartphone screen, adding a couple of layers of clear packing tape will help keep glass shards from going everywhere. It will also keep the glass from cutting your fingers when you try to use your smartphone!
We’ve taped many cracked screens, and we were still able to use the device without any issue. Your selfies will suffer a bit since you’re looking through a pane of broken glass but you won’t lose the use of your iPhone. With this tip, we’ve gotten several more weeks of usage out of a smartphone since the packing tape allowed us to do whatever we needed on the iPhone.
3. IT’S CRACKED, BUT THE DAMAGE ISN’T TOO BAD (OR YOU’RE CAN’T SHELL OUT FOR A REPAIR JUST YET)
If the damage is minor (i.e. 1-2 cracks), applying a screen protector may help conceal the damage. “Crack Filling” is a selling feature for certain screen protectors but ordinary glass and PET screen protectors will do the same thing.
If your screen is quite severely damage, adding the screen protector won’t hide the damage much, BUT it will still allow you to use your device’s screen for a longer period when compared to packing tape. Using the screen protector is probably a worthy alternative if you can’t afford to get the screen replaced as a $10 screen protector from Amazon will do just fine.

Woof! - Monty
Derpy Gaming I knowwww .. I want him 🐶🐶
Derpy Gaming he just stares at him lol
How did it go from phones to dogs
His dog is so cute and I love how hes watching so intensely and patiently
18 years and this is the first time I've put a crack in my phone screen. I'm so sad. It's hardly noticable but that might not last very long.
Yeah, I feel you there. I remember when I cracked my first smartphone screen. One of the worst feelings ever. Fortunately, I haven't cracked a screen in over 3 phones now, so I hope I can keep my record going.
Same here man😢
I just recently cracked my phone’s screen and I just laughed lmaoo I think there is something wrong with me
I literally dropped my phone face planted
Oh my goodness same! And the thing is, the screen didn't just crack, it SHATTERED I am talking full on tree-root look with massive cracks! The worst part is I dropped it with my hand to my side aka not from a high distance so I should've been surprised but I literally just went "oh. Okay haha"?! Anticlimactic much??
I love how your dog stares at you the entire time
that dog reaction tho! lol
Monty is pretty awesome.
MobileReviewsEh What s the name to the phone cover that s show on the table(blue color)????thanks
Lol
@@robertocastillo6350 I’m 3 or 4 years late, but I’m pretty sure it’s a Speck. Hope you see this 😂
I was on the process of trying to peel off my screen protector. Thank you!
I was literally dancing to move like a snake and my phone had the audacity to fall
That crazy girl why were you dancing like a snake?
Whenever I dance with my phone I put it in my sleeve
Huhu I was dancing in my room too and it fell 😭
i was moving my chair and my phone fell on the ground i didnt know and i put the chair on my phone and sat on it then heard a crack
@@iloveyourecommentbut9400 lmaoi
LOVE your silent sidekick, MONTY, sitting watchfully. Nearly human how he watches ♥
This was painful to watch! All those screens shattering. Monty made it more bearable, though! :)
:)
ooleveia mont made it beter ooleveia-2017-2018 shes not dead
I had a screen protector on but somehow there’s cracks on my actual screen :,(
nid
5 years later I just can't with this comment, at all
Thanks a lot for this video!
My new screen crack is fairly minor and I was really hoping for advice like this on how to take care of it without getting the whole screen replaced over such light damage.
So did this really work?
Omg he's just sitting there watching you adoringly 😂💕💕 So cute!!
Anyone else watching this with a few cracks on the screen?
NOT A FEW...
Retierashia NOT JUST FEW
Retierashia I CRACK IT LAST MONDAY :(
Retierashia A FEW? A FEW?! HAH I’VE BEEN WEEPING FOR HOURS WITH LOTS OF CRACKS
Dude its everywhere
I really shattered the glass on my phone. However, I got a new phone and then saw your video. FYI: most old phones can be used to dial 911 with no service provider. I keep it fully charged and place it close to the floor for emergency. Great video and informative!
Great idea! I never would have thought of that without your good advice.
yeah so uh i kinda raged in clash royal after losing to a arena 3 so now im sad asf
@@s0ulster533 same i litrally smashed my phone inimto the wall
Thank you for the tips! Also, I love your dog in the videos. That little guy seems so relaxed and friendly (which says a lot about you, too). Thanks again!
who else just cracked their phone screen and searched this up as a way of coping so you don’t bawl your eyes out
Mee
I was Kalm
@@dream_y1000 Which phone do you have?
@Teclinsoro which phone do you use now
@@Reshail iPhone 7
Your dog is absolutely adorable! My screen has some minor cracks. If I place a screen protector will it prevent further cracks?
Hahah I love your dog! It follows you and is just like "Really Aaron? Another cracked screen"?
He just has really bad FOMO. I filmed a durability case outside yesterday (it's 14 degree F or -10 C) and he wanted to see what I was doing but was so cold I had to leave him inside.
🔛
my whole screen shattered when i dropped it about 4 1/2 feet with no SP :/
this is the third time this year i’ve broken my phone and it’s already been fixed twice and now the crack is spreading from the corner i’m so screwed
Irresponsible!
Perhaps you should invest in a pop-socket.
SAME😃
same 😭
I like that innocent dog😂😂
I repaired my phone yesterday and cracked it this morning
Sam Baxter sad :(
See how fragile iPhones are smh
@@im_synn._5212 any proof he has an Iphone?
@@faruktta3151 i mean he shows it in the video a cracked iPhone..
I got my phone fixed a month ago it’s all cracked up like I never went to go fix it 😭🤦♂️
joe mitchell / orpheus lestrange is it bad
Just put a screen protector on it
coco loone mine is cracked its new!
i literally just got my phone fixed yesterday now i broke it and it is worse than before i went to the service
I just cracked my shit time to get anotha 1
i came here after cracking my screen like everyone else but when i tried to remove the screen protector i realised there wasnt a screen protector urgh the heart pain :")
The tape thing worked real well! My screen may be broken but at least it's smooth
Hey Aaron, you do a great job on these videos... and Monty is the man... how old is he? We had a Mini Schnauzer for 17 years, great dogs.
Monty is 1/2 Poodle, 1/2 Schnauzer. He is coming up on 7 years!
Fooled me, so he's what's called a Schnoodle, great name haha.
richdt I have giant Schnauzer
Currently watching video through cracked screen😭
This was a fantastic genuine video and earned a like from this guy.
Please more screen protector videos. The edge to edge offerings are abysmal for the iPhone 7. Many of them seem to be almost identical.
tht dog watching him😂😂😂
In all seriousness, I’m actually extremely scared to tell my parents . Or if they find out , because sometimes they use my phone to download something etc. I have had a history of broken phones , water damaged , sat on it too much , just dropped it from a tall height . Like I’m honestly scared 🗿
did they find out?
@@teclinsoro4523 he is dead already I guess
Same fr
Same plus the fact I got this phone less than a month ago
literally cracked my phone less than 24 hours after getting it. what a life i lead.
Wait because same😭, I just got my phone fixed
His dog lmao
I just got a iphone yesterday from my parents and then it fell out of my pocket and craced infront of them and im never gonna get a new pjone again
I dropped my galaxy 3 note today, my first smart phone and maybe my last ! My case was raggedy so the protection was probably gone .Gonna tape it till my finances allow me to purchase another lens. I'm going to try to replace it myself. I'm praying for a good outcome. At 66 yrs I have some patience but the hands are not what they should be. You all be blessed !
I broke my iPhone XS Max screen this morning but your pup made my day ❤️
I think we need a cracked screen support group. Seriously, in all my years of owning phones, I never dropped one. In the last 3 months, I've dropped two phones. So frustrating! I miss my rotary phone
hi i need that cover
I was brushing my teeth, but I was also playing a game I got my phone with my hand wasn’t gripping it tight enough fell onto the hard floor 😭 prayed it was only the screen protector, finds out it was my ACTUAL screen wanting cry telling my mom saying she’ll look at it tomorrow now just to wait for her reaction 🥺 pray for me guys my dad doesn’t know
That dog is soo in love with you!!!!! He can hardly stand ur awesomeness ability to break phones 😂😂😂
I love how his dog is sitting next to him and listening to everything ❤😂
Can a cracked screen affect the touch sensitivity? Because the side of my Samsung galaxys10 was cracked only on the side and now some areas adjacent to the crack are less sensitive to touch
My screen broke, my dad is laughing at me
Thanks for the information and I love your pup!!
This video came out 5 years ago
Me who has a crack on his phone for 9 months
me:WHY DIDNT I SEE THIS
Use Acrylic or Teflon Nail Polish. Make sure you take as much nail polish off the brush as you can before brushing on glass so it doesn't seep into the Digitizer. Now brush lightly on every crack on the surface. Next take a tissue or a q-tip, tissue preferably so more of the polish stays on the phone. Now dab the tissue with some nail polish remover to remove excess polish. Your goal is to be leaving polish in between cracks so variate to succeed. If done correctly you'll notice that not only are the cracks almost unnoticeable but the screen is actually smooth to the touch.
Oh and make sure you ask your sister before using all the items above.
Does it work
Is the dog actually real or animatronics
He's real. Just very still when I'm filming. When I stop filming, he becomes this energetic ball of hair.
MobileReviewsEh Awesome lol
😂😂😂😂
Rodney_Frm_1978 hes real coz hes movin and lookin to his owner
MobileReviewsEh 😂😂😂the dog is so cute 😂😂❤️
Omg your dog is so precious he's watching you talk and looks sincerely interested in what you're saying ❤️❤️❤️ #cutenessoverload
Thanks for the tape method, it works surprisingly well !
Just cracked my screen rn by accident 😔😟 this is like my 2nd phone I've cracked. Definitely getting in trouble
So my phone was in my pocket I had a pop socket and I fell on my but when I was skating ! Know my phones bent and cracked but I’m curious if it’s the protector or my smart phone screen please help someone !!! Will my phone be cracked it it’s bent
Slime Nation75 if you think that its just the screen protector then try to peel out a little and peek from side to see if the actual screen is cracked.
If it's not then you're lucky
Hahaha your dog was so cute just recognized him in the middle of your video 😁😁
Oh my goodness! Monty made me watched more of your videos!!! So adorable!!!
Great video Monty is so cute :)
:)
How do you get a fine crack out of your cell phone screen?
*Doggy* he's so cute. So patient.
He has very human expression...aww sooo cute⭐
Love how the dog is just so invested 😂
Can I suggest the liquipel safe guard protection bundle? Great case and screen protector combo, and it comes with a protection plan so if you break your phone in the case, they'll pay to fix your screen!
Thx for the headsup
Your little co-host/hype man is hilarious and awesome! lol
I found very difficult to follow his explanation because all my attention went to the sweet little dog. It is so cute!
I cracked my screen bad on my dads work iPad that he gave me I told him while I was crying and he said it was fine. so sweet.
My phone is less than a month old and I cracked my screen protector
lol I'm watching this after putting s new case over my new phone
Smart!
Jazeb Khilji the same time as well as me. I think I have a lender call for price adjustments on the way!
Love your ever so calm dog and thanks for the helpful tips.
My dad once dropped a tablet, and the screen got some really bad cracks. It was a Samsung Galaxy Tab A, and at the time, it was both his and my tablet because I didn't have one. My dad ended buying a new one (even though it could probably be repaired easily.) The old tablet still works, and we still have it, but we don't use it at all (the cracks are too distracting for me, and when I try to use it, I can sometimes find little bits of glass on my fingers) Also, the internals of the tablet must of been damaged because the tablet loses charge MUCH faster than it used to. Also, the tablet had one of those cases with a cover, and we believe that if the cover was over the screen, the screen might of survived or had just some minor cracks. So, if you have a phone/tablet with a case with a cover, always put the cover over it when you're not using it and taking it somewhere.
I Just put my iphone case the other way round
Woow iq200

INJEST Powerviolence use English bro 🤦
When you dog is like "Just shut up and feed me."

your dog is so patient

screen: *fookin breaks*
me: why
phone: I'm 3 years old, let me die
me: *watches this*
phone *internal screaming and crying*
This comment makes absolutely 0 sense
You talkin bout regularly replacing an iPhone 7 and I'm over here can't replace a 5 once
I regularly break iPhones.
MobileReviewsEh the thought of breaking iPhones on purpose just makes me cringe a little on the inside. But for science, it's ok. Just my poor person perspective.
The dog's just starring at it the whole time xD
The way your dog listens attentively! So cute
I have absolutely obliterated the glass on my screen and I just put some cling wrap on it
Poor man's screen protector
I cracked my phone when I was trying to take off my case to get a new one. :/
InfiniteFlightFanatic I always dropped my phone trying to put on a case. Today while I was trying to put on a case it flipped off the bed and now it's shattered
Look at the dog how curiously he is listening. I love him/her😘
Ur so legit that you break those for us and the content
Hats off
Cute Dog
Woof! - Monty
Monty I love you
"Woof" - Monty
that face you make, when the dog is the talent
I was curious if we could fix it like we fix windshields :p…But I’m not sure about that either. Also…All these years I never once thought of using tape as a makeshift protector-at least for scratches.
Who else is watching on a cracked screen
trying to watch this video to magically find a solution to mend my completely destroyed umendable broken screen..
number 1--*if you have a screen protector don't take anything off*...me realising what i've done
The dog is glued to him like mmmmm you broke another one mate.
Thank you so much i freakt out about this!
