iPhonehouse: Precautionary Measures Help Protect Mobile Phones from Damage

Protecting a mobile phone with a case or special coating is often a wise investment. Retailer iPhonehouse comments on a few of the more popular solutions.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, October 12, 2012

Among the most common reasons for unintentional damage to smartphones and other mobile devices are falls onto hard surfaces or into water. A recent New York Times article featured a number of top cases designed to help protect mobile phones from accidental damage. Popular retailer iPhonehouse noted some of these recommendations.

The minds at iPhonehouse recommend consumers take into account a number of factors when considering a case meant to protect their devices. A bulky case can be difficult to transport in pockets or small purses. Likewise, some cases may interfere with a user's ability to dial or easily access other functionality. Individuals might also have special needs, like car mounts or holsters, that the right case can help accommodate.

The article reports popular options among consumers are cases that charge the phone while simultaneously offering it protection. It notes the Seidio Convert Plus and the Morphie Juice Pack Pro are good solutions. The OtterBox line is also noted as offering a high degree of protection, though no case can truly ever prevent damage. The article also discusses the features of the Stanley Dozer by Incipio, Lunatik Taktik, Ballistic Hard Core and Trident Kraken AMS.

Exposure to water and condensation are typically what consumers aim to protect against when purchasing a case. In the event these negative situations should occur, iPhonehouse suggests, "After a submersion you should immediately turn the smartphone off and remove the battery if possible."

According to the article, Lifeproof and Joy Factory offer cases resistant to water. Most cases deemed waterproof are also shockproof to protect against falls, and dustproof to guard against environmental elements. Liquipel is another waterproofing option, though individuals must do without their phones for a short time when choosing this solution. Devices are sent to the Liquipel manufacturer where an invisible coating is applied to protect the phone. There is no impact to the look or feel of the phone upon its return.

The cost of a replacement phone can amount to hundreds of dollars. Repairs and data recovery services are also rather expensive. As such, iPhonehouse believes most consumers benefit from making a small investment into a case for their mobile phones.
