Try to find a case made specifically for your phone model. This is the best way to ensure that the case fits properly. If you buy a case from a store, ask if you can try the case to make sure it fits. If you buy online, make sure you can return the case if it doesn’t fit.
Always check reviews for glass screens before you buy one to make sure it’s compatible with a curved phone. If people have complained about tracking or sensitivity issues, then get a different screen. Glass covers work as shock absorbers for the screen. If you drop the phone, the cover might shatter, but the screen will be undamaged.
Look for a screen designed for your specific phone model to ensure it will fit properly.
Work your finger around the protector to push out any air bubbles. Different screen covers may have different instructions. Read and follow all the directions that come with the product.
Try using a specific pocket in your bag or jacket for your phone and out nothing else in there. That way, you know nothing will scratch the screen. Follow this rule even if you use a screen cover. Scratches on the cover can make the phone less responsive.
Sometimes it’s convenient to put the phone in your back pocket, like if you’re standing on a train. If you do put your phone in your back pocket for a moment, remember to take it out before you sit down.
When you get a new phone, it’s a good idea to check how it feels in your hand. If the phone is too large for you to get a good grip on, try a different model. There are some attachments that you can use to get a better grip on your phone. A ring holder, for example, has a loop to put your finger through while you’re holding your phone. There are also rubber attachments to stop the phone from sliding out of your hand. Use one of these if you have trouble holding on to your phone.
You can also wipe the screen on your shirt if you’re wearing a very fine fabric. Coarse materials won’t clean well and could scratch the screen. Don’t use paper-based products like tissues or paper towels to wipe the screen. These can cause scratches and leave fibers behind.
Do not use rubbing alcohol or cleaners that contain alcohol to clean screens. These chemicals can wear away the protective covering. If you want to disinfect your phone without using cleaners, there are UV light devices that kill bacteria. These are expensive, but could clean your phone without any risk of damage.
Do not use compressed air to get rid of dust or lint. The pressure can damage fragile phone parts.
