Preventing fall, impact, or scratch damage

We use our smartphones quite often and all around. As a result, chances are that the device may suffer damage. Falls and bumps cause cracks in the screen or a dent in the casing. This damage can greatly limit the phone's ease of use. With a large crack in the screen, it is often difficult to read texts and, unfortunately, the warranty does not cover this repair. On top of this, scratch damage occurs very quickly even with ordinary use, as the screen of most smartphones is very sensitive to scratches.

Examples of how fall, impact, or scratch damage can occur:

You bump with your phone against the table corner while the device is in your pocket.
You accidentally sit on the device, or another heavy weight falls on the device.
Your keys are in the same bag or pocket.

Seven tips to prevent scratch, impact, or fall damage:

1. Get a case

A case protects your device from fall, impact, and scratch damage. Make sure you buy a case with a solid front to protect the screen from external damage. A case made of thick and soft material will provide sufficient protection. Gomibo offers many protective cases, so take a quick look at our diverse product catalogue and find the perfect case for your device.

2. Use a screen protector

A screen protector provides effective protection for your device's screen against scratch damage. Conveniently, screen protectors are easy, quick, and cheap to replace when you need a new one. Gomibo offers a screen protector for every phone screen, so take a look at our diverse product catalogue.

3. Don't rush

Avoid taking your device out of your pocket in a hurry. This is often the cause of fall and impact damage.

4. Be careful

Handle your phone carefully to avoid as much damage as possible.

5. Carry the screen facing yourself

If you often put the device in your pocket, carry the phone with the screen facing you, so the screen is less likely to break if you bump or run into something.

6. Avoid keys

Avoid putting your phone in a pocket or compartment of your bag with a bunch of keys. This may create ugly scratches.

7. Don't carry your phone in your back pocket

Do not carry your phone in your back pocket. This is because great pressure will quickly build up on the device if you sit down, for example. Among other things, this is very bad for the screen.
