Why your smartphone needs a screen protector

Screen protectors never really used to be popular when mobile phone were introduced. Not many people saw the need to protect their phones, probably because mobile phones used to be made stronger in its early years and cases of cracked or broken screens were somewhat rare.

However, as time passed and newer model smartphones were introduced, it seemed that cracked screens were synonymous to smartphones. It became a common problem and the cost of fixing or replacing a damaged screen did not help matter as repair sometimes cost as much as buying a brand new phone.

For this reason amongst others, people started buying tempered glass screen protectors and phone cases to protect their phones from screen damage and scratches. Some of the major reasons why you should protect the screen of your smartphones include;

Higher resale value: It is more likely for you to sell off your phone easily and at a higher price if it still looks new, without scratches or a cracked screen.

No rainbow effect: Having a screen protector keeps your oily, sweaty fingers away from touching the screen directly, so you would not get the annoying rainbow colour effect on your screen when you wipe it. Dirt and oil directly on the screen of you smartphone makes your touch screen slow to respond.

Shatter and scratch resistance: As the name implies, a screen protector protects your phone screen from scratches caused by metals objects such as keys and other items in you bag or pocket where you keep your phones.
