Always dropping your phone because you have fumble fingers? Dropped phones are susceptible to damage, breakage and cosmetic deterioration. If you find that this is a constant issue for you, it's time to take charge and rescue that poor phone of yours from any further mishaps.

Be careful where you use the phone.

  1. If you're distracted and trying to do two things at once, there is a greater chance that you'll drop the phone to keep doing the other task. For example, driving while talking on the phone (illegal in many places) reduces your attention span greatly, and makes it easier for you to drop the phone to hold the steering wheel or pay attention to the road. You might even be unfortunate enough to drop the phone into your cup of coffee...

    Better safe than sorry! Maybe you could use a clear case, or find a case with a design you like more than the one on your phone.

Warnings

  • If you have a medical condition or disease that causes you to shake or tremble often, that makes it difficult for you to hold the phone, and so forth, then it might be worth considering both a strong protective cover for the phone and some sort of corded attachment from your clothing to the phone that helps you to grab the phone back before it hits the floor or hard surface.
