Be Smart & Protect your Smart Phone

By Alika Salazar

The cost of an average new smart phone these days runs around $600. I’m not sure if that’s a lot of money for you, but I think that’s a pretty big investment for most of us. For that reason alone, I highly recommend a screen protector for your smart phone. They’re relatively inexpensive and they could save you a costly repair down the road should you drop your phone on a hard surface, like say the road!

There are two different types of screen protectors that are on the market. There is a plastic screen protector, which usually comes in a clear or an anti-glare form. The other type is a glass screen protector. I highly recommend the glass screen protectors because they look and feel just like the glass screen on a smart phone. They don't feel like plastic, so a lot of people don't even know they have them on.

As a matter of fact, we've actually had a lot of people that have come in thinking they have a broken screen and get a quote around $95 to make that repair. Afterwards, our technician may look at their phone and realize that it’s only a broken glass screen protector. The glass on the phone may be totally fine! Of course, when that happens, we’re happy to tell them that their phone is okay and there is no charge. When this happens, we also give them a second option, which is to install a brand new glass screen protector for just $34.99. When compared to the original repair quote of $95, most people tend to say yes because they want to stay protected and they can still walk away saving around $60!

We carry glass screen protectors for all the iPhone models, including the iPhone 4, 5, 6 and 6+. We also carry the Galaxy line, from the S3, S4, S5, Galaxy Note 2, Note 3 and Note 4. We also have screen protectors for the iPad 2, 3, 4 and the iPad Mini.
