Oops. I don’t know how many times one of my family members has managed to break their phone or tablet. And once it’s broken, it can be a nightmare to get it fixed. In fact, it can be more than the phone’s worth to fix it! And if you don’t have insurance, it might be coming out of your pocket. Therefore, you need to be so careful to ensure it stays in good nick. Here are some common errors which tend to lead to broken devices.
Carrying it around in your pocket
When it comes to holding your phone, it’s so easy to carry it around in your pocket. After all, you can then hear it if it starts ringing. And you don’t have to dig around in the bottom of your bag to find the phone. However, there are several reasons why carrying it around in your pocket can lead to a broken device. For one thing, if it starts raining, and you are not wearing a waterproof, the water could soak through to your phone. And if you are walking in crowds with people knocking into you, it might cause you to end up with a battered phone when you reach your destination. Also, putting it in the tight space of your pocket can put too much pressure on the screen. And you could end up with the “screen of death” when you take your phone out! Therefore, find a safer area to keep your phone to ensure it stays in good nick.
Not using a screen protector
A lot of us get a cover to protect the back of our devices. After all, you can get some fun ones to go on the back of your phone or tablet. But a lot of us forget about protecting our screen. But if you are not using a screen protector, and you drop your device, you will end up with a broken screen. And it can cost a small fortune to get it replaced to ensure you can see clearly again. Therefore, you should look online to buy a good screen protector for your device. There are some review sites like IThingum which will come in handy when choosing the best one for your device. And remember to stay away from the screen protectors which only cost a couple of dollars. For one thing, these will pull away after a few minutes. And then your phone will end up at risk again!
Leaving it in poor places
When you are in your home, where do you put down your phone or tablet? A lot of people don’t think twice before putting it on the sofa. But if you put it where people sit, they might not spot it, and then could sit on the device. And with so much pressure on the device, it could potentially break it. Therefore, it’s time to stop leaving it in poor places. You can get some great stands which can live in your bedroom and your lounge. These are perfect to ensure nobody will end up harming the device. And you can even get ones which charge at the same time to ensure you have a full battery!
And make sure you don’t overcharge the device. It can kill the battery and burn out your phone!
