Most people take their tablets and smartphones everywhere they go. That makes your portable Apple® devices more likely to get damaged than your desktop computer. Fortunately, there are things you can do to keep them safe and prevent costly repairs. Below, local Apple experts offer three suggestions for you.  

3 Suggestions to Keep Your Apple Devices Safe

1. Buy the Right Case

Every phone and tablet should have a case. Since you’re spending a lot of money on your Apple devices, it makes sense to invest in the most protective case you can afford, too. Phones are especially vulnerable to damage, as you use them often throughout the day. The best phone cases are bulky with a beveled edge. They may be a little bit bigger than you like, but this type of case prevents your screen from hitting the ground if you drop your phone.

2. Keep Them in a Designated Space

Phones and tablets get damaged easily because they are often put down in random places. Naturally, if you put your phone on the floor, then it’s bound to get stepped on. Leaving it in the back pocket of your pants is a bad idea, too, because it can easily slide out when you sit down or climb a flight of stairs. Whether you’re at home or work, you should have a safe, designated location for your phone, preferably away from sunlight or other heat sources. Otherwise, keep it in your purse or jacket pocket.

3. Invest in a Good Screen Protector

Screen protectors are necessary because they prevent your Apple devices from getting dirty or scratched up. But when it comes to screen protectors, you can take it up a notch. There are plastic screen protectors that keep the scratches to a minimum, but you can also invest in a tempered glass screen protector. Those can withstand quite a bit of pressure, leaving your phone intact even if it gets dropped or smashed. And while these glass screen protectors are slightly thicker than the ones you’re likely used to, they won’t interfere with the use of your screen at all.
