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?

    Here’s an idea for cracked screens: Take clear packaging tape and cover the crack.

    I’ve done it with 2 phones. Touch and swipe remain functional, and if you don’t like it, just take off the tape.

      Prob will give this a go. Do I do the usual phone screen protector thing so there are no bubbles?

        Yeah, apply the tape from one end, and use something flat to press it down. And don’t overlap the tape, just perfect side-by-side strips.

        And if you have a case that ‘grabs’ the phone, you can wrap the tape around the edges of the phone (to the back) so it won’t peel. Then trim it up for a custom fit, and put the case back on.

        I hope it works okay for you.
