The Right_to_Repair is a legal right for owners of devices and equipment to freely modify and repair equipment. It only comes into play if your device is broken. Step one to avoiding the need for the Right to Repair is damage prevention. Photodon brand screen protectors help to extend the life of your devices and reduce the time and energy spent trying to get them repaired.
Damage Happens to the Best of Us
You are having a productive morning, getting lots of work done. As you bustle out the door to an appointment you hear your phone hit the ground. Looking down, you see a cracked screen. Your day just turned upside down. Now, you are not only unproductive and unable to communicate, but you need to get your device repaired. Additionally, you have to deal with the anxiety of adding to the landfill problem.
As someone who’s spent many years working as a device repair technician, I’ve heard a lot of true-life stories. Cracked phone screens – “I wanted to see how far I could throw it.” Damaged tablets – “My dog keeps biting it!”. Malfunctioning computers “My kid used it to hit a baseball and now it doesn’t work”. Prevention is just as important as repair if you want to extend the life of your device.
Photodon works to protect as many devices as we can. We want to keep e-waste out of landfills.
What is the Right to Repair Law?
The right-to-repair advocates for consumers to be able to fix their own devices without facing unnecessary obstacles like expensive repair services or limited access to parts. The idea of making it easier for people to repair their own devices is a mission I fully support. Photodon works with consumers and businesses to protect hundreds of thousands of devices each year. You can learn more about our screen protectors at photodon.com. Photodon believes that the best way to increase the lifespan of a device is to protect that device from damage.
The Right to Repair movement calls for policies that allow consumers and independent repair shops to access the tools, parts, and knowledge needed to fix their own devices. In my years as a technician, I’ve seen firsthand how manufacturers can make it difficult for people to repair their devices. They restrict access to spare parts or charge high fees for repairs. This practice has led to a growing problem of e-waste. Functional devices are thrown away simply because they aren’t easily or affordably repaired. The Right to Repair aims to give consumers the power to fix their own devices. The use of Right to Repair will reduce e-waste and cut down on repair costs.
Most of us know how easily a device can get damaged from just a small drop or bump. I have even been the cause of more than one repair on my own devices. After battery swaps, most repairs I’ve worked on have been screen related. It’s frustrating, not just because of the cost of repairs, but because a lot of these issues could have been prevented with a simple solution, a screen protector.
A Simple Solution
Screen protectors act as the first line of defense against damage. Installing a quality screen protector can help absorb impact and prevent costly repairs down the line. Photodon’s screen protectors protect your device and reduce the need for repairs. Additionally, you have the option to add glare reduction and privacy, making your device more secure and useful.
While not all damage is preventable, countless devices can be saved with the right protection. That’s why Photodon is so passionate about offering products that help prevent damage before it happens, making the Right to Repair more effective by reducing the number of repairs required in the first place.
Instead of waiting for something to break, take steps to protect your devices. A screen protector is a simple investment that can help keep your device safe and extend its life. Use common sense and keep liquids away from electronics. Also, make sure that devices used by children have robust cases. With the right protection, you’ll reduce the likelihood of repairs, as well as fewer resources spent on spare parts and labor.
After years of repairing devices, I can tell you, preventing damage is the best option. With a screen protector you’re not just preventing damage to your device, you’re also helping reduce the use of finite materials. In addition, you are reducing strain on the supply chain, saving money, and contributing to a more sustainable future. Let’s work together to keep your devices in great condition, reduce waste, and make the Right to Repair a reality for everyone.
