#1
The most important thing is that you avoid letting your touch screen come into contact with other electrical devices. There are many people who think that magnets will damage your phone, when it fact it likely won’t. However the only thing that a magnet might do is mess up your built-in magnetic sensor which is used for compass apps. This is a very important thing to be taken care of.

The Electrostatic discharges, meaning a sudden surge of electricity between two connected electrical devices, could ultimately cause the touch screen to malfunction. This might happen when your Smartphone is placed near an object isolated to the ground that conducts electricity. So keep your device away from such objects.
#3
Do not tap your phone with any sharp objects or bang it to make it work if it’s being laggy because your Smartphone isn’t like your old TV set. Also, though you might get over excited while playing Candy Crush, do not apply excessive pressure to the displays it may cost you your screen.

Only use your fingers or stylus, if one comes with the device, like the Galaxy Note 3. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra allows you to use pencils on the display; however this should not be done with any other device or will damage your device’s screen.
#5
When you are cleaning your display, use a microfiber cloth, which is ideal for touch screens. You can even use the one that came with your sunglasses. Be careful if using a moist cloth. Simply dampen it slightly or breathe on the screen and then wipe it down gently. If you do end up using water, make sure that it is distilled water since normal tap water often carries calcium and other types of minerals which can cause damage to your screen. Do not over-rub and let your phone air dry if there is any water left over so that you don’t accidently push any liquid into the phone’s inner hardware.
