Makes sense actually…

Obviously this is something you want to avoid, but accidents can happen. If you leave your keys and your phone in the same pocket, chances are the screen will get scratched.

Scratches on your phone screen

Okay, let’s face it, if your screen looks like the one pictured here, there’s not much you can do to save it. You may be able to get a professional to fit you a new screen, but we advise against doing the trick. However, our trick will help you get rid of scratches.
