Whether it is an iPhone 6S Plus
or the Galaxy S7, spending £500 to £700 on a new handset is a worthy investment
and after all, you would want to take care of it as if you bought a puppy for
yourself; you wouldn’t want anything to happen to it, right? Being made of glass
and aluminium makes these smartphones appealing, but it also makes them
susceptible to damage. So how would you go about protecting your new asset?
Read on to find out.
· Isolate
Your Smartphone
As soon as you
buy a new phone, you must purchase an individual case for it. This
protects your phone from any major damage; however, do expect a few bumps here
and there.
On the flipside, avoid putting your phone in your handbag with your
other friends like the hairbrush, makeup kit, keys, etc. The continuous
rattling of your bag’s contents will cause your phone to interact with the said
contents, resulting in possible scratches and marks.
When you delve
into your bag to frantically search for something, your long nails might give
your new smartphone the warrior’s mark on its screen (for battling with the
contents of your bag). If you must keep your phone in your bag, then do so in a
separate pouch or compartment away from all the paraphernalia.
· Make
Your Phone Wear a Suit of Armour
Everyone has
seen young girls carry those glittery pink cases with their phones securely
inside; in case you were wondering, no, that’s not for show. A phone case is a
very handy piece of equipment. They are supposed to protect your phone from
wear and tear and give it an aesthetic look as well. Due to the multitude of
options available, choosing a case depends on your own taste and the type of
protection you seek for your phone.

Phone cases
can be found in plastic, transparent film, rubber, leather, and even wood. For
example, transparent film cases provide protection as well as visual beauty.
Other types of cases offer protection from shocks, rain, snow, mud, dirt,
vibration, ice, etc. There are generally two types of cases; one that conceals
the phone and the other which reveals it through a sliding mechanism. You will
also be able to come across glow-in-the-dark cases and themed cases as well.
· Clean
it Regularly
Just like you
would bathe a newly bought puppy, you should clean your smartphone on a daily
basis. But don’t use water or else you risk damaging your prized possession
permanently. On a similar note, never ever use furniture polish, spit, shoe
polish, or any kind of household cleaning product on a smartphone as they will
remove the coatings which help reduce glare, dust, and static. Furthermore,
these liquids can find their way inside, corroding the vital components.
To clean your
smartphone, use a microfiber cloth or better yet, an optical cloth; avoid using
your sleeves, tissue papers, or your handkerchief. They are more effective in
cleaning the display screen as well as the back of the phone.
