Although our cell phone accessories provide optimal protection – not to mention form and functionality enhancements – the way you handle your phone determines how it will continue to function years from now. Whether you recently bought a new one or have been using your trusty old device for quite some time, here are a few tips how to keep them running for years to come.
1. Choose the phone model that suits you. If you haven’t bought a phone yet, you should consider getting one that suits you and your lifestyle. Just because an LTE capability, a 13MP camera, or an AMOLED display is a great doesn’t mean you need it. For instance, if you are always on outdoor trips and expeditions, prioritize ruggedness and durability. That way you wouldn’t have to worry about your device whenever you go about your rigorous activities. Otherwise, we have shockproof and waterproof cases which you could use with your device.
2. Carry your phone with care. Just because your phone is shockproof doesn’t mean you can always toss or drop it without care. Treat your phone that way you would treat your pet or your friend. It wouldn’t play catch with you or treat you out to lunch, but you will terribly regret it when it ceases to exist in your life. Even though mobile phones can be used anywhere, it wouldn’t hurt if you use it on places where there is less risk for getting soiled or damaged. Should you wish to carry your device in style, you can do so with leather cases that provide optimal protection at the same time.
3. Put your phone in a safe place when not in use. Because phones are so small these days, we tend to misplace them or designate them in areas where chances of getting damaged are high. When not in use, your device must be secured but still accessible whenever you need it. You wouldn’t want it to end up in the garbage or on the hands of your naughty little nephews. This is also why we offer a variety of excellent cell phone holders here in the site.
4. Clean your phone regularly. It’s funny how people just buy a protective skin or casing then never bother to clean their phones after that. This is lazy, not to mention unsanitary. Experts reveal that an average mobile phone is dirtier than a toilet seat. It’s a breeding ground for bacteria, and we use it often and even press it to our ears. Cleaning your phone regularly is imperative, especially if you work in places like butcheries, hospitals, or garages.
5. Take care of charging your phone. There is actually a higher risk of damaging your phone when you don’t take care of how you charge it. Overheating and overcharging happen more often than you think, and it is usually because of negligence or use or faulty cell phone chargers. If possible, power up your phone on a regular schedule.
