If you have cracked glass on your iPad and don’t want to have it repaired, you can put tape over the crack to help protect your fingers from being cut by the broken glass. If you plan to continue to use the iPad it is recommended that you get the screen repaired as soon as possible.

Should you put a screen protector on a cracked screen?
Yes, you can put a screen protector on a cracked screen and in some cases it will be very beneficial as it will cover the cracks and ideally avoid shattered glass from getting in your fingers or falling onto your lap while using the device. A few things to note about applying a screen protector to an already cracked screen is, for one, it may leave air bubbles in the screen protector where the cracks in the screen are located, this creates air gaps between the screen protector and the screen and may lead to the touch screen not functioning properly. Additionally many users often think that adding a screen protector will help protect the screen from cracking more, however this is generally not true and even with a screen protector installed the cracked screen will only continue to get worse.
Can you put clear tape over a cracked screen?
You can put tape over the crack to help protect your fingers from being cut by the broken glass. We recommend that you get the screen repaired as soon as possible as liquid can now penetrate the glass and could potentially cause a lot of damage.
