Protect Your Smartphone from Damage


Ever since Smartphones became a norm in the cell phone industry, the entire outlook has changed. Durability, something which was supposed to be a defining factor in sturdy mobile phones, is no longer a priority. Hence, some smartphones are considered somewhat fragile as compared to their durable counterparts; they is prone to damage slightly more than other phones. One of the most sensitive components of a smartphone is the screen, and while manufacturers are aware of this fact and try to make it more resilient with the use of more coatings, there is no guarantee that they will remain safe in the event of an accident. Here are some tips for ensuring your smartphone stays protected:

First off, to protect the screen from scratches and finger marks, a screen protector should be added. This is a thin plastic foil that is stuck on to the display and prevents the sensitive screen from scratches and dirt. It does not affect the functionality of the screen at all, which is the main concern some people have before applying it to the display. With smartphones, the touch-screen access system is utilized which means constant usage of the display. Some people may be hesitant to add a plastic foil on the screen for this reason but the screen protector is a very thin sheet that does not close off the display or block the touch-screen system. Another commonly observed cause of damage to smartphones is that people tend to press the screen harder than is needed. The touch-screen system is very sensitive, and a small tap to the required command is all that’s needed to allow it to function. By poking the screen repeatedly or harder than necessary will not make the phone function faster or for the command to be fulfilled more quickly. If people are very rough with the screen there is a high chance the display will crack. Placing it under heavy things or pressing it into tight spaces can also cause the display damage.

A phone is usually kept in people’s pockets or bags, along with various other items like keys or notebooks, pens etc. These items are also prone to scratching the phone or causing damage to its different ports. An easy way to avoid this is to keep the phone in a pouch or a case. There are so many different sizes of phones available in the market but there are suitable pouches available to go with them. They are often presented in various novelty designs for people who like to add to the display of their phone. Cleaning the screen on a regular basis can also help in improving its functionality. A phone that has accumulated a lot of dirt, dust or smudges will be difficult to function owing to the fact that the display is blurred. Not only this, if one is using the phone for business-related purposes, its dirty exterior can give off a bad impression. Even for personal usage, a clean phone represents a tidy personality, thus clean your phone’s display often.

A smartphone is quite slim, portable and lightweight, which apart from the advantages gives it a tendency to accidental drops. Valuable data may get corrupted if the phone is dropped too many times, apart from the obvious risk of the screen breaking. The only thing apart from the aforementioned practices is to handle the phone with care. It is an expensive, fragile item and although it may be insured and easily replaceable, the data within it may be hard to recover. This may be a risk that businessmen and women may not be willing to take especially, this it is important to realize the value of care a smartphone needs when one acquires it.
