If you have a nice phone... spend the $8 and buy screen protectors

Hi My Lot, Here is a post based on my own recent experience. Ah yes, experience is a great instructor and I am still learning. About 6 months ago - I upgraded from a non-smart phone to a smart phone. I held out a long time. And I made my choice. Instead of doing what I would do in the past - buy the cheapest smart phone available - I got one a little nicer figuring it wouldn't run out of space right away. And I was right, the nicer one works better. It was only about $130. In the world of smartphones that's not much, but is still much more than I typically would have spent. I bought a (pretty but not very prtective) case for the back and figured the front would be fine. I saw the screen protectors for an extra $8 and thought ... nah! Save a little $, I'm a careful person etc.... Why don't they make screens out of plastic? Anyway as you can guess - freak accident and I broke my screen. It was still useable. Yesterday my very good friend and I were going to fix it. I bought a replacement glass. After spending about 2 hours getting it apart - we discovered that in opening the case we destroyed the LCD part. Well I was prepared for it to happen. It still wasn't fun though. I was upset about the waste of time and effort and of course this means I need to buy a new phone. Thankfully I had kept my old phone, something I would suggest everyone do - so all I had to do was put my sim card in, and at least I have phone until the new one gets here. So that's my advice everyone - spend the little extra $, get a screen protector for the front of your phone and , if possible keep an old phone on hand in case of emergency - so you'll still have a phone. I don't recommend doing this to your phone:
