Screen repairs are the most expensive common repair. A little prevention goes a long way.
Phone Screen ProtectionTempered glass: 9H hardness, absorbs impact. Replace when cracked — it took the hit so your screen didn't. Cost: ₹199–₹999 depending on quality. TPU film: Self-healing for minor scratches, cheaper, but less impact protection. Case: Use a case with raised edges (lip) around the screen. 1.5mm lip minimum for effective drop protection.
Tablet Screen ProtectionTablets are more fragile due to larger surface area. Use a folio case (covers screen when closed) plus tempered glass. For iPads used by kids, get a shockproof EVA foam case with handle.
Laptop Screen Protection1. Never close the lid with objects on the keyboard (pens, earbuds = cracked screen) 2. Carry in a padded sleeve inside your bag 3. Open/close from the center, not the corner 4. Don't pick up by the screen — always lift from the base
Daily Habits• Keep devices away from table edges • Don't put phone in same pocket as keys/coins • Avoid placing laptop on soft surfaces (bed/couch — blocks vents and risks sliding) • Clean screens with microfiber cloth, never paper towels
