Tech 101: How to install or replace a screen protector on your phone

Screen protectors are a small investment to protect a much larger one.

There are many screen protectors to choose from, so which one is right for you? We'll list some of our favorites, along with installation tips.

Quick tip of the day

Fun fact: Kim’s birthday emails to Komando staff members always include some special things that happened on that day in history. If you’re curious about your birthday, here’s an easy way to check.

  • Head to WolframAlpha. It uses algorithms, a knowledge base and AI technology to compile information.
  • Type in your date of birthday. You can include the year or skip it.
  • You’ll see a list of stats and facts, including how far away that date is from today, any holidays or anniversaries, and even the moon’s phase on your birth date.

🔍 WolframAlpha is a powerful tool. Try putting in your name to see how many people in the U.S. share it, when it was most popular and even the estimated number of living Americans with that name today.

Upgrade to the printer that saves you a ton on ink costs

Does your printer have enough ink for another year of work reports, tax forms and homework? If you print a lot or wish you could print a lot without worrying about ink, it’s important to have the right printer.
