I already ordered the part so I know that is coming soon. However in the meantime this is my secondary phone so I’m not at a dire loss if it totally dies but this was nasty enough to push the repair forward ASAP.
Should I worry about completely losing my screen to this or will I be able to ride out the damage until my new screen comes in? I already ordered a new case to prevent this from happening again with more protection -_-. I only had it a few days (bought mine used) and this happened.
Hi Nick, Correct me if I’m mistaken, but it looks like the greatest amount of damage there is to the glass screen protector with only minor cracking on the actual screen itself. My suggestion would be to remove the broken screen protector and put on a new one. At that point you should be fine to use it until your replacement screen arrives. If, as I suspect, the chips in the actual screen are just confined to that upper left hand corner, you can probably get away with using it for the foreseeable future just as is. If, on the other hand, I’m just seeing the cracks through an intact screen protector, you’re still okay; my daughter-in-law used an iPhone screen that was busted seven ways from sunday for months with a screen protector.
Screen should be fine as damage is minor. Should last for years as long as it’s not dropped again. I have a galaxy note 9 with worse damage than that and it’s been going for years. Only gonna replace it when the price gets cheaper.
