Not only that, we can communicate to our loved ones because of this nifty gadget. Yes, I am referring to the smartphones.

According to research done by Forbes, there has been a significant increase of small and medium scale businesses who subscribe to different VoIP service providers.

Here are some tips on how your brilliant phones can be protected from liquid damage:
1. When bringing your handset to the bathroom, always place it inside your handbag or pouch. Never have it in your pocket because it makes your phone prone to getting wet.
2. When doing the laundry, make sure you check all of the pockets, there might be a smartphone in one of the pockets.
3. If you have toddlers or pets around the house, place your handset in a higher location where only you and other housemates who understand the value of the phone can reach it.
4. Never leave your handset on the dining table, even when you have something important to do while eating. Sometimes a single drop that can seep into your phone could cause the loss of pertinent work files.
Here are some tips on how to protect the screen of your phones:
1. There are many types of screen protectors for your phones. You can choose the plastic foil or the glass that is also shatter proof. If your smartphone will have lots of office files, it would be great for you to have the more expensive shatter-proof glass screen protector. It costs about $35 – $45.
2. Never press the screen too hard. You might be tempted to do this for your phone to function according to how you would like it too, but it might expose the entire screen to damage. There is a tendency for it to crack too – touchscreen technology is very sensitive.
3. If your phone will have to undergo a lot of friction, then it would be wise for you to buy a good case or pouch for your phone. Having more protection for your phone is much better for it to last longer. Remember that the price of these phones is no joke at all.
4. You should clean the screen on a regular basis. Sometimes the dust that can get accumulated on your phone might get inside the system and cause your phone to bug down. Now, you wouldn’t want to have a slow phone, right?
Criteria on choosing smartphone protectors:
1. Choose a case that looks handsome too. Admit it, the smartphones have good appearance, so why will you choose a device that will hide its beauty?
2. Check how your external protector will fit the device. If you choose a protector with holes that won’t align to the ones on your phone, then you’re wasting your money.
3. Choose a device with a belt clip and make sure that it’s made from good materials. Having this is great for men who usually don’t bring pouches and shoulder bags like women do.
4. Choose a case that allows your phone to be in a “standing” position, just in case you might want to watch videos…it is really convenient to just place your phone on top of the table while you’re de-stressing.
5. Even if it is expensive to have a cover that has internal shock resistance, buy it for a better protection of your handset.
