Protecting an iPhone is about more than protecting your electronics. Getting an iPhone repaired is often an expensive and long process. You have invested so much money in your phone that risking it being broken or lost is a big gamble to take. Your phone needs more than a screen protector to keep it safe. Here are five reasons your phone won’t last without proper protection.
Drops Happen More Than You Think
You have probably laughed at a friend who dropped his phone in the toilet accidentally, but it could happen to you too. Phones drop all over the place. They can drop while you’re texting on the treadmill at the gym. They can drop when you’re reading a recipe on your phone while cooking. They can drop at a concert. All of these things can be damaging to a phone without proper protection, and you can guess that a screen protector won’t do much.
Scratched Phones Are Worthless
You would be surprised at how quickly an iPhone gets scratched. If you ever plan to sell your iPhone, it will be worthless with tons of scratches and dents. A good case will prevent this from happening, and your phone will look as good as new when you go to sell it for the newest iPhone. Scratched screens also pose problem for touchscreen use and visibility. It can be hard to see a screen that gets too scratched up. Sometimes deep scratches can affect the touchscreen function, so get a case and a screen cover that prevents both of these.
Your Phone Can Get Shocked
This goes back to dropping your phone. A dropped phone can shock the battery and internal components. This can cause glitches in your phone, and it can even begin to restart at random times. Shocks from falls can also cause dents in the phone. You want your phone to have a nice cushion when it falls to the floor, so choose from one of the many Rustico leather iPhone cases. A screen protector can’t protect your phone from drops.
Water Is Your Phone’s Worst Enemy
It is possible to fix a phone after it has fallen into water, but it’s difficult to do and time consuming. A Rustico leather case or a strong plastic case can protect your phone from water. There are also water-proof cases that can protect your phone if you are around water often.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you’re protecting you phone from drops, falls, and the elements as much as possible.
