I broke my iPhone 7 and realized that the protective screen is our everything

I bought a phone for 80 thousand rubles and wanted to protect the screen. But in vain!

Look around! Every second person stands on the subway with a broken iPhone display. They probably also sat and thought: Why do I need glass, it’s disgusting and ugly.

I myself chose 3 options. Film, glass or protective screen. Life has shown that only one can really save the iPhone and not kill the owner out of shame.

Why you can (but don’t) glue a film to your iPhone

The film protects well from keys in your pocket, as well as from marks and scratches. I've been wearing these since the days of push-button phones, and they haven't gotten any better since then.

The film has an advantage that is often forgotten: it does not stick out from the side and does not make the phone itself look fat. Important for those who, as a matter of principle, do not wear cases and are afraid for the display.

It's a pity that it won't protect you from falling in any way. At least 100 times it will be “shockproof”. And even if you don’t care, think: why are you so sure that you will never drop your iPhone? I missed this option, for which I am very grateful. Do the same.

Why choose glass for iPhone

There are 2 types of these. Budget-friendly in the form of a matrix, with sides and other horrors. And it completely covers the front panel of the phone, with frames at the bottom and top matching its color.

I confess: I tried the budget option for 700 rubles, bought in our stores. A day later I found out that on Aliexpress it costs 180 rubles, and also 2 pieces. This applies to all films and cases: if you have the option to order and wait, do not overpay 700% out of the blue.

The joy lasted for two hours, no more. The tactile sensations and the very easily soiled appearance of such glass gaps are complete collective farm and horror. I sincerely don’t understand how people walk around with such a monster on the display of a smartphone for 50+ thousand rubles.

Expectation:

Reality:

In a well-lit room, for example, at the gym reception, it was a shame to take out the phone. The look of the screen screamed: take off this poor protective screen from me, I am a bloodline iPhone, not some knockoff in the hands of a redneck.

In general, after a couple of days, shame defeated the two toads sitting on my neck, and I decided to order glass that completely covers the screen.

Why you should choose a screen protector for iPhone

I bought something like this for myself

I remember that thought now: it wasn’t a shame to pay 57,000 for the phone, so why not try a protective screen for 1,000 rubles? True, I still decided to save money and ordered it on Ali for 300 rubles.

I didn't regret it. Not easily soiled, clear screen. The reviews talked about the protrusions, but in the leather case the screen and edges are flush. The only thing when I showed it to a friend, he said, get ready to change these glasses every six months. Like looking into the water.

Soon the iPhone, while in my pocket, caught the first scuff. Quite deep, from the keys. This could be the iPhone 7 display, whose replacement costs 20 thousand rubles!

Well, in another month the phone fell on the tile. Directly to the screen. And here is the solemn moment. While I was bending down, I remembered that I have a protective screen. Protected or not?

Yes. Protected!

Of course, I didn’t experience any real joy - the protective glass itself was cracked into pieces. But once the screen iPhone 7 intact, that means there is a positive.

Saved order 10-15 thousand rubles. Now I’ve ordered a new full-screen stele and I’m blowing dust off my iPhone. But I didn’t want to wear it at first!

Whether it's a coincidence or a pattern, my girlfriend also got a scratch on her screen six months later. She carries her phone in her bag and hasn’t dropped it. So protective screens are consumables, but incredibly useful.

Instead of output

Some people have the means to change their phone every month. Someone is convinced, like I was up to this point, that he will never drop his phone, so nothing sticks.

But as my story shows, Still need a protective screen. The phone is fine, and the savings are 15-20 thousand rubles.

So film and glass are nothing, a protective screen for iPhone is everything. Take them off and put on normal protection.
