WHEN IS THE PERFECT TIME TO REPLACE A GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR
Everything has a shelf-life. Every product has an expiry date and the same is applicable for a tempered glass screen protector and other screen protectors. People around the world prefer to install tempered glass screen protectors in their smartphones to make them safer.
In this article, we will discuss the factors that are responsible to decide the longevity of a screen protector and how long can it last. But before jumping into our discussion let’s remind you about the fact that proper care can make a tempered glass screen protector run forever.
So, let’s take look at the reasons and find out when is a good idea to replace your screen protector with a brand-new one.
1st reason- Cracks are everywhere
This one is easy, if your screen protector develops a larger number of cracks then it’s time to replace it. Remember a single small crack in the middle, or a single edge-to-edge or spiderweb-like cracks can be fatal. So, it’s better to change it at once.
2nd REASON – TOO MUCH SRCATCHES AND FALL FROM TOP TO HARD SURFACES
One thing you must take into consideration is that a broken screen protector is not always mean that is a low-quality product rather it absorbed a huge impact to protect the original glass screen. It’s your screen protector that takes all scratches and falls to protect your valuable smartphone. Too many scratches and falls on hard surfaces shorten the life of a screen protector so check always. If you are careless then keep an extra screen guard to replace your old one as too many scratches can make the screen almost opaque and difficult to see. Moreover, scratches absorb light and refract it, rather than letting it pass through as a smooth surface would mean you are unable to see the screen in a proper way.
3rd Reason – Peeling off heavily
Quality rules and customers love high-quality products. In the case of screen guards quality of the glue is responsible for the lasting capabilities of the product. If the glue or the adhesive is falling easily then peeling off the glass of a tempered glass screen protector from the corner can be a common phenomenon. Due to the loss in the stickiness of your screen protector, effectiveness becomes less as you may not get effective results while doing swipes, taps, and other activities.
So, if you see your screen protector is peeling off from the corner then it’s time to replace it. Remember, a good screen protector hardly peels unless it’s been submerged in water.
4th REASON – CHEAP PLASTIC SCREEN GUARD
You may think buying a cheap plastic screen guard will save you a lot of money but it can backfire. A cheap screen guard loses its effectiveness really easily be it its touch sensitiveness, scratch resistance, or other properties. The moment you buy a cheap screen protector you should start thinking of replacing it very soon.
5th REASON – FORMATION OF BUBBLES
If your screen guard is gathering bubbles underneath its back surface then you should consider replacing it. Bubble formation can only happen if the screen guard gets displaced or scratches or cracks allow air to sneak in between the screen guard and the original glass screen surface of your smartphone to form bubbles. Change it.
6th ReASON- UPGRADE TO HIGH-QUALITY TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR
A high-quality tempered glass screen protector can last longer and perform way better than other screen guard options. So, if you think of upgrading your phone’s safety then it’s time to change your old screen guard.
