I’m planning to put on a screen protector, but it’ll only cover the top half of my phone.

  1. Will It keep the crack from spreading?

  2. Will I noticed the difference in touch functionality in terms of top half vs bottom half?

    My wife cracked the corner of her screen and applied clear fingernail polish over the crack thinking “what have I got to lose”. That was two years ago and the phone is still going strong and the crack has not spread.

      Does the touch screen still work on that corner?

        She says it works fine, everything is copacetic, when I suggest buying her a new phone. Should mention she used a toothpick to paint the crack not the brush that comes with the nailpolish.

          Oh thanks! Would have used the brush other wise!
