My glass is cracked on my Galaxy S2 but screen is not damaged. Can I use this screen protector as a low-budget solution to keep using phone?

Hi, well if your screen isn't damaged you can certainly use the screen protector. In my honest opinion the screen protector is used for minor scrathes that can be preventable, from everyday use or poor management. I can assure you that in the event the screen is damage you will have no hopes to using this product.

I would think that you would be able to use the protector and prevent any more damage to your screen. I hope that this will do the trick. Thanks for reaching out. Let me know if this tip helped.

I really don't know since my screen isn't cracked. But i don't see why not.

I had the same problem with my iPod touch. It still works,just fine. Glass is being held together by the screen protector.

My daughter in-law had that problem. Since she had the screen protector on, it kept the screen functioning and all the cracked pieces in place.

You need a new LCD and digitizer screen . It doesnt come seperately. Also, if you are planning to replace this yourself, just a word of advice: it's a bit tough to detach the screen,which is the very top layer. To see if yours is even damaged,run your fingers across the screen. If its smooth,its fine,but if you can actually feel the cracks from when it was dropped,then you will need a replacement screen too.I had a galaxy2 and the same thing happened. After going through HELL trying to repair it,I finally figured out that I'm losing $ and had to accept my loss.:( your phone is a tad different though.

I would not count on it to protect the screen from breaking. The built in screen protector is thin and flexible. I bought a tempered glass screen protector to help protect from breakage.

No. As the phones use "Gorilla Glass" for the screen, you don't really need a screen protector unless you are going to throw the phone on the ground and stomp on it.

Never thought about keeping cracked screen together, but I think it would work. The screen is stiff enough to hold together screen. There's quite a bit of prepping required to clean screen before applying so I would be careful not to penetrate the cracks with the alcohol swab.

My phone did not have a cracked screen, so unfortunately I have no way of knowing how well it will work for your phone. My personal thoughts; the spray (it's just water I think) could get in the crack which is always bad. Also, the screen protector may not adhere to the cracked screen. Honestly take your phone to a cell phone company or kiosk at the mall (where they sell cases) and ask their opinion. I wouldn't spray the cracked screen unless they say so.If the crack really isn't that bad and you can spray around it, then maybe you should go for it. Up to your discretion.

Haven't damaged either one just yet, which should indicate that the film is doing its job. If you're referring to the screen getting damaged (cracked), I cannot answer. However, if the film becomes damaged (wear & tear), then you just peel it off. A friend that works for Samsung says the S4 comes with Gorilla Glass V3, so the screen protector is over kill. On the same token, using your nail to peel the damaged film should work like a charm.

The shield is thin enough, however if you are not a careful person and the phone drops from your hands or something hit the screen meanwhile it is unshielded, maybe you gonna be furious with the most little scratch. Corning or not Corning gorilla glass it could happens, I've seen it before. Is up to you.

Yes you can, if done quickly. I recommend not purchasing this screen protector and purchasing a glass screen protector.

It honestly depends how much of a bad drop it may be. But they don't seem very reliable, you might be better off getting a sturdy screen protector for that.

This will replace your cracked glass on the screen NOT the LCD screen. HOWEVER Samsung glues the glass and the LCD together and is very difficult to separate the two without damaging or scratching the LCD. If your not good at this sort of thing have someone do it for you.

cant say that. but ive broken the screen on a few phones. the new ones are tougher. this glass is only like 0.4 ml thick. it will keep the glass underneath like brand new and may help with trauma, but wont stop an icepick..its just glass.

Technically, probably you could. I do not recommend it however, since this really needs a clean, flat surface to adhere properly. If you place it over a cracked screen I doubt it will stick very well.

No--It won't provide protection from cracks. However, it does a great job protecting your screen from scratches/abrasions. You can add some protection against drop-related cracks with a sturdy case like an OtterBox Defender.

You can reuse the glue that is currently on the phone before removing the broken glass.. Even if you break it into a couple pieces during the removal process it will still work.

Yes, you should not need to worry about any case having problems with this screen protector. The tempered glass is so thin you almost don't notice that it is even there.

The whole purpose of the screen protector is that it breaks instead of your screen. Energy from a drop can't just disappear, it has to be used for something, and the shattering of the protector is where it goes. Buy a new one and don't try to screw over the company for making a product that saved your phone screen by doing what its supposed to do.
