If you are replacing your tempered glass every few weeks, the issue might not be how you handle your phone. Repeated cracking is caused by:
* **Soda-lime glass**: Cheap roadside guards use brittle glass that shatters under light pressure. * **Bad edge protection**: Sharp glass borders chip on keys and coins.
Switch to premium chemically-tempered aluminosilicate glass with rounded 2.5D borders to ensure high durability.
