Most everyone has a cell phone nowadays.\u00a0 The average price of today’s leading edge phones has blown past $1000.00.\u00a0 Sure, insurance policies are available (and costly themselves).\u00a0 But there are several things you can do inexpensively that will help you protect your cell phone from some of the more common issues.<\/p>\n
First, do not put your phone in your back pocket.<\/strong>\u00a0 That’s a simple recipe for cracking your screen at best, and perhaps the entire phone at worst.<\/p>\n Personally, I carry my phone in my front pocket.\u00a0 A tip for pockets is to always place the screen facing your leg instead of outward.\u00a0 That way, if you bump into something hard, you won’t crack the screen.<\/p>\n Second, invest in a good case for your phone.<\/strong>\u00a0 As far as I know, the best cases are OtterBOX<\/a><\/strong>, but they also can be pricy if you’re on a budget.\u00a0 A good alternative is the cases from Supcase<\/a><\/strong>. My last two phone cases (Samsung Galaxy 8 Active<\/a><\/strong> and OnePlus 6T<\/a><\/strong>) have been from Supcase<\/a><\/strong>, and I have not cracked a screen or suffered any other damage.<\/p>\n Third, get a screen protector for your phone.<\/strong>\u00a0 These are readily available for popular phones and are inexpensive.\u00a0 I recommend the Zagg InvisibleShield<\/strong> brand of screen protectors<\/a>.\u00a0 Yes, they can be a little more expensive, but you do get what you pay for.\u00a0 None of my phones equipped with a Zagg InvisibleShield<\/a><\/strong> ever suffered a screen failure.\u00a0 You receive everything in the package that you need to install the screen protector.<\/p>\n If you follow these tips, you’ll have a much better chance of preserving that expensive phone.<\/p>\n
