The screen is a more delicate part of the phone which is prone to breakage. Sometimes even is a single drop or what seems a minor bump might cause the phone screen to break. Some cases in which only the top glass layer of the screen cracks; however, the Touch and the Screen remain intact. In other cases, that is not the case. The later cases require the full-screen assembly replacement, while the former only the glass replacement will suffice.

In any case, there are certain things we should avoid to escalate the issue further. Here is the list of precautions and thing to avoid when your phone screen shatters.

Like we mentioned earlier, sometimes only the front screen gets cracked, leaving the LCD or Display component of the phone intact. You might end up damaging the entire screen assembly by further tinkering with the broken screen. Besides, the screen break results in small pieces of the glass shattering. You might just hurt yourself with the glass chunks that are too tiny to detect.

Avoid Using The Phone
