A stitch in time saves nine.
It's an old adage/cliché but it really does make sense.
In addition to other services offered by The Tech Wizzard is the replacement of batteries and screens on most smartphones. However whilst your screen is the most delicate part of your phone, there are a lot of thins that can be done to prevent a cracked or shattered screen.
Modern smartphone screens are made of near space-age materials compared to the handsets that we were using 10+ years ago. Gorilla glass was created by the company that made the windows on the space shuttles and is a miraculous substance indeed.
But every phone has it's Achilles heel. Some phone designs are more susceptible to dropping on their edge or face while some are more sensitive to twisting forces.
You can avoid most cases of broken displays by doing two simple things.
The first is to use a phone case that is designed to protect your phone and it's screen (One example is the Otterbox Defender collection of cases) higher end cases also include a screen protector that is designed to protect your screen from scratches.
The second (and probably most important) thing that you can do is simply to remember that your mobile phone is not as robust as your keys, wallet or whatever else you tend to keep in your pockets on an average day.
Even if you keep these in mind, there is always the accidental breakage that does not include sitting on your phone, sliding it off the table, etc. These incidents do tend to be minimal if you plan ahead and think about where your phone is before you "accidentally" destroy it.
Whilst we are happy to take your money to repair these little accidents, avoiding these costs is actually avoidable.
Last note on mobile phones for a little while is the old drowned phone drama. The most accepted remedy for a drowned phone is to put it into a bowl or bag or rice overnight.
While this may actually allow your phone to turn on initially, when it works it only buys you time.
If this rice trick works for you then the first thing to do is connect it to a computer and back it up or take it to a technician and have them do it.
A wet phone will almost always cease to function within days or weeks and when it dies will take your data with you.
Think before you endanger your phone and have a much happier life.
