How do people survive when they have a broken iphone screen?

My cousin keeps breaking her phone. And I told her just to put a tempered glass screen protector on it. The she dared me to get one, break it in several places, and use it for a week. So I did. And I can't Stand it. I had to put a piece of clear packing tape on it because I was scared I'd get cut. How do people use their phone like this?

Not so much "how" as it is "why".

Replacing may be too expensive.

The screen may actually be OK, but they use a screen protector that *looks* like the screen is broken to try reduce theft potential.

They have not gotten around to fixing it, yet.

The screen's been ordered and they are waiting for it to arrive.

They are lazy.

many more reasons…

I never had one. I've alive and well.
