(StatePoint) Let’s face it; your phone is your lifeline. But it’s also a fragile device that could be ruined with one misstep. Help everyone in the family take better care of their smartphones with the following tips you can rely on at home, around town and even on an outdoor adventure.
At Home
Don’t use your phone when you’re doing anything sticky or messy. It may be helpful to keep it out of sight when you’re cooking, eating or doing arts and crafts, to avoid the temptation of answering that text immediately.
Around Town
Keeping good track of your phone can help you avoid theft. Simple habits, like putting it in your bag or your pocket while you’re at the cash register or otherwise distracted, can help you hold onto your phone. Protect your phone’s contents with a password or pattern lock. And, of course, use a high quality case. Smart everyday protection for your phone can combine special protective features with a sense of style. Consider a case with interchangeable back plates, like the iPhone 7 Water Resistant Full Body Protective Case from Supcase that does not just offer water-resistance, impact absorption and protection against dust and shock, but can be sported around town in space gray, silver and gold.
At School
Kids and teens should rely on the special compartment of backpacks designed to protect tech gear. This will prevent errant lunches from spilling on the device, as well as protect phones from the crush of books. Likewise, when phones are stored in lockers, they should be kept somewhere safe, such as on the upper shelf.
On an Adventure
Those who hike, swim, ski and camp may know personally that nature is not always kind to one’s smartphone. From a night of rain in a tent to a selfie gone wrong in a canoe, keeping one’s phone safe on an outdoor adventure can seem like an uphill struggle. Protect your phone on all your journeys with a case that is truly waterproof. For example, the iPhone 7 Plus WaterProof Case from i-Blason, a shockproof, drop-proof full body case, scored a “7” on water resistance, which means it can be submerged in water as deep as one meter for up to 30 minutes.
Your phone, and all your tech gadgets, can last longer and operate more efficiently with protective gear and good habits.
