A cracked screen is stressful, but a few quick steps before your repair visit can make the whole process smoother — and protect your data along the way.
Pressing on cracked glass can push shards further into the display or digitizer, sometimes turning a simple glass repair into a full display replacement. If touch still works normally, light use is fine, but avoid pressing directly on the cracked area.
If your phone still powers on and connects to Wi-Fi, take a few minutes to back up photos and important files. Most screen repairs don't affect your data at all, but backing up is a smart habit before any hardware repair.
A layer of clear tape over cracked glass can help prevent small cuts while you carry your phone in for repair. It won't fix anything, but it adds a small layer of safety in the meantime.
Did the drop also cause charging issues, camera problems, or speaker distortion? Mention all of it during your free diagnosis — sometimes a single drop causes more than one issue, and it's easier to address everything in the same visit.
We'll start with a free diagnosis to confirm exactly what needs to be replaced, explain the process in plain language, and in most cases have your screen repaired the same day — backed by our 90-day warranty.
Fast drain, random shutdowns, or a warm phone that only gets worse — here's how to tell it's the battery, not the phone.
The first few minutes matter more than anything else. Here's exactly what to do — and what to avoid.
