It could happen to everyone: accidentally dropping your phone onto a less than the forgiving floor. You are not careless; phones are just smooth. However, because we’re aware of our phones capability to spontaneously fling from hand to the floor in the middle of a text, it is best to practice safe iPhone handling. Especially if you are clinging to the precious cargo that is a brand new phone. You might want to know how to protect your phone from breaking. Because even though it’s a new design, it can — and according to current reports, if dropped, it probably will. In this blog, you will find Everything You Need to Know About How to Protect your iPhone form Breaking.
There’s pride in staring into your iPhone and admiring its perfectness, crack-free form after going through life with it over the course of three years. It shows your ability to take care of things. But, there is no judgment in a shattered screen. We have all been there. On such an occasion, I considered I was placing my phone in a coffee shop. In the middle of an interesting conversation, I underrated my proximity to the counter, and when I let go of the boat that carries all of my notes to self, contacts and, pictures it belly flopped onto the concrete floor in slow motion. Taking with it was my stomach. It was not good.
If you are a happy new owner of an iPhone X, you will want to take attention against the phone-hungry floors we walk upon, especially considering it’s glass. You know, to avoid the resulting destruction that we all know to follow well. You will want to protect this latest version of your iPhone.
Though this is Apple’s most expensive announcement of the iPhone yet, at a huge $1000 if you choose to pay in full, the company reported it as also the most fragile. One of its attractive features is having the “most permanent glass ever in a smartphone.” Which is an excellent promise from Apple, considering that its new design is all screen. But, and I’m so sorry that there’s a but, there’re some companies who tested the screen’s stability, and its results are causing quite the alarm.
As published by The Guardian, when drop-tester SquareTrade let the iPhone X intentionally go up against solid floors from the height of 5ft they concluded that this is the “most fragile, highest-priced, most expensive to repair phone ever.” Yikes. When dropped on its side, the screen of the iPhone X remained intact but its display functions reportedly “failed.” When its belly flopped on the floor it, you guessed it, it broke. The kicker is that repairing the iPhone will cost you $280. That is just to replace the screen, according to ars technica. Let’s just finish that: unsafe glass screens will fare poorly against solid floors.
Do not worry. It is not like you have to hire a 24/7 security detail to keep a hawk-like eye on your iPhone X. You will not even have to attach a tight chain around it. You can easily protect the iPhone’s fragility with “a case.” I mean, that the second box opens, gently tuck your precious cargo into one of the best-rated phone cases you can find. It is your first line of protection against the less than concrete floors we approach our iPhones above regularly. Because, you’ll probably, accidentally, drop your iPhone X. A case with proper shock absorption will allow you to breathe a little more easily as you bend down to take it up and check for any damage.
Another option to prevent destruction is to have AppleCare+. Ars Technica reports that “purchasing the extended guarantee for $200 on top of the price of your iPhone X will add three more years of protection to the original one-year limited guarantee.” This includes up to three accidental damage occurrences, like the casual slipping from hands, which will be taken care of at a cheaper fee than it would cost without AppleCare+.
A PROTECTIVE CASE THAT FITS IN A PURSE OR POCKET AND COVERS THE BACK AND SIDES OF YOUR IPHONE
I have tried several cases over the course of my over eight years of iPhone ownership, and Speck’s Presidio has lasted longer than most. Below are the primary reasons why I trust it to keep my iPhone safe (and recommend you do the same.)
The Presidio is made up of 2 pieces: a polycarbonate shell and a rubberized shock-absorbing inner layer. The case looks pretty simple and is not too bulky (a major plus) but the scratches its gained from being in my pocket and falling on the floor speak volumes. I am not a careless person, but I have dropped my iPhone X more times than I am comfortable admitting.
Every time I hold my breath, but my iPhone has not scratched or cracked yet, which is why I have not felt the need to switch up my case like I usually would. Although the has Presidio a raised lip extends over the front of the iPhone X, offering some security if it falls screen-side down on a flat surface, you will want to consider additional protection there (which you will find in the next slide).
A SCREEN PROTECTOR TO KEEP SAVE THE FRONT OF YOUR IPHONE
If you have ever had to pay to get your phone screen replaced, you know it costs a lot more than this $9 screen protector. I have not used this one personally, but I have had good experience with some OMOTON accessory in the past, and people seem to like it.
No screen protector is going to keep save your phone if it is slammed into the ground with heavy force, but it’s a physical barrier between your iPhone and everything else. Apple has included more permanent screens in more recent iPhones, but this’s an extra (cheap) insurance policy.
