The screen for your smartphone screen dictates the experience you have a specific phone. It can either make or break that experience depending on how you look at the situation. The high value of the screen in making your overall experience lies in the fact that the screen is one of the most expensive elements of the phone to replace. So, if you really want to place the safety of your mobile phone above anything else, apply a protector to stop the screen from getting damaged by scratches and other disasters. Within protectors as well there is a debate as to which one is best for users. Plastic protectors first came out but have been replaced with glass versions. Here we see whether these glass protectors are really worth it. Resilience Tempered glass versions of glass protectors are way more resilient than the simple plastic protectors. The glass protectors offer a certain amount of leverage in the case of a drop or any other disaster. If you drop your phone, the glass protector would bear the brunt of the fall and save the screen from getting damaged. Although you might break your protector in the case you drop your phone, but your screen will be safe. Their resilience places them above any other protector and provides good return on the money that is invested in the protector. Moreover, glass protectors are also more resilient towards minor scratches that can eventually hamper the condition of your phone. Plastic protectors may not provide such resilience. Better Feel Another important benefit of using glass protectors for protecting your screen from damages is that the glass protector can mimic the feel of your screen. Since it more closely mimics the feel of a normal screen, a glass protector will give you enhanced protection, without making you lose out on the seamless experience that the smartphone guarantees. Not Really Expensive The fact that glass protectors are available at a reasonable cost is another thing that points in favor of them. Glass protectors are not really expensive and tend to add a lot more than what you have to pay for. With reduced prices, you may find glass protectors for as low as $5. Complement Them with Cases Your glass protector will work well with a case that ensures the safety of the phone during impact. While the protector may protect the screen, you may need a cover to protect the internal circuitry and other mechanisms. If you want a case for your phone, you can check these new iPhone cases with amazing prices.

Few other phones have a reputation for getting easily scratched on the back as much as an iPhone. But that is what phone case are for, no? However, despite being encased in a protective cover, your iPhone can still get some ugly scratches from dust and other particles that get inside the case and ruin the phone’s finish.

So is there any way to restore your phone’s original luster without having to choose drastic measures (like buying a new iPhone)? Yes… by using an everyday household item! Toothpaste and Its Wonderful Scratch Buffing Advantages Found in every household, this item is used every day to clean teeth. Most people don’t realize other ways they can use simple toothpaste – one of them being scratch buffing from their phone! What to do? The steps are simple and underlined in the following: Turn off Your iPhone First You don’t want to accidentally open any app on your device when doing the job so shut it off completely. Hold the lock button until ‘Slide to Power Off’ option appears. Slide the slider from left to right to complete the action. Buff Scratch Prone Areas Squeeze a pea-sized amount of toothpaste directly on the back of your iPhone. Begin by lightly buffing back of the iPhone with the help of a microfiber cloth. Take care to buff areas with scratches first, proceeding to rest of the backing. This will ensure a consistent look.      Don’t wipe the toothpaste away at once! Wait for two minutes and then spray glass cleaner along the back of the iPhone. Wipe both glass cleaner and toothpaste off using paper towels. The same process can be done to clean your iPhone’s screen.

The question of whether you use a case for your smartphone really comes down to personal preference. However, Samsung S8 has certainly be causing problems for owners. As good looking and sleek as the phone is, it is quite slippery. The beauty of the metal aluminum frame comes at the cost of a butter finger grip. There are plenty of issues here. First, the Samsun Galaxy S8 is relatively new and has multiple features, which means there is still a lot of time before any useful cases come up. Next, even the fingerprint sensor at the back is difficult to find as it is largely shadowed by the sleek glass back. Lastly, the screen, although it is the latest Corning Gorilla Glass, is still glass. And just like all the other smartphones you owned, that guaranteed screen protection against scratches, you are going to drop your S8 some point time and realize that was too hard a drop for the screen to handle. So, the logical thing to do is to invest in a Samsung S8 case. It is an expensive phone and you don’t want to be facing issues with it any time soon. What Is The Perfect S8 Case? Again, that depends. However, considering the features of the phone including the glossy finish, the location of buttons and most importantly, the location of the fingerprint sensor, it wouldn’t be a good idea to go for a hard wallet style leather case. First off, this case would make it hard to use the phone by making the fingerprint sensor inaccessible, on top of that, it will make your phone look bulkier. And isn’t buying a Samsung Galaxy S8 all about showing off its sleek features? Meet The Samsung Galaxy S8 Slim Case Clear Transparent Thin TPU Silicone Soft Cover Rubber Perhaps the best cover for your Samsung Galaxy S8 is the a thin TPU silicone soft rubber cover that accentuates all of the outstanding features, while giving you a good grip and minimizing chances of damage upon impact.
