How to Protect Your Phone Without a Case

Are you someone who has trouble taking care of your cell phone? Have you had a cracked screen or two in your day?

If so, you’re not alone. In fact, a recent survey found that two smartphone screens break every second in the US. This equates to over 5,700 broken screens an hour. Over the course of the year, Americans break more than 50 million smartphone screens.

And, this is not a trivial problem. American consumers spend $3.4 billion each year putting on new screens.

Luckily, more and more Americans are learning that you can protect your smartphone from cracks with a good case. But, what if you don’t have the money for a smartphone case? What should you do?

Check out this guide to discover how to protect your phone without a case.

Pick Up a Screen Protector

If you can’t afford a good phone case right now or don’t want one for whatever reason, you should at least pick up a good screen protector.

A screen protector ensures that the most delicate and expensive part of the phone is not at risk of getting damaged. The screen will always be fragile, regardless of how durable a phone you have. When you drop your phone, this is the first part that gets destroyed.

A screen protector will keep your phone safe in the event of a fall and will prevent you from having to go in for screen repairs.

Transport it Securely

Your phone is at its most vulnerable when you’re moving from point A to point B. Therefore, it’s very important that you take steps to transport it securely.

Even if you’re being careful with your phone when walking, someone could bump into you and knock it out of your hands. For this reason, we suggest that you always keep your phone in your purse or in your pocket when you’re in motion.

If you need to take it, stop what you’re doing so you can focus on holding it securely.

Make a DIY Phone Case

If money is the issue, then we’ve got good news for you- you can make your very own DIY phone case!

And don’t worry, you don’t need to be super crafty to make your own phone case. In fact, many smartphone owners find that wrapping a rubber band around the phone gives it a nice cushion in case it falls.

You could also fashion your case out of duct tape or other materials you have lying around.

Protect Your Ports

While the screen is the most fragile, your phone ports also need protection.

Always keep your ports clean and clear, and invest in a set of port plugs to ensure that they’re empty and safe. However, make sure you choose the right port plugs for your phone, as the last thing you want is to accidentally destroy your device with a mismatched pair of plugs.
