How to Keep Your iPhone Sexy: 8 Steps

You know how sexy your iPhone is. It feels great, looks smooth, is awesome to use – but how do you keep it that way?
STEPS

1

DEDICATED POCKET. Most popular is the front right trouser. Only iPhone – no keys or wallet – no scratching and bulges other than the iPhone. For the people that we know who strictly follow this rule, they have seriously reduced the risk of losing or damaging their iPhone.

2

IPHONE INSURANCE. It is a wise move to get a good iPhone insurance cover to insure your iPhone. Use Google to locate good iPhone insurance cover.

3

KEEP IT ON ITS OWN – NO SCRATCHING. Despite anti-scratch screen the back is very scratchable

4

BACKUP – USE ITUNES AND MANUAL COPY OF PHOTOS. Apps backup, contact book in Outlook etc. When you plug it into your computer go to “My Computer” and locate the iPhone and copy and paste your images and files onto your computer. Also use iTunes to automatically backup and synchronise your details, addresses and data as soon as it is connected. It would be horrible to lose your photos or data.

5

KNOW WHERE IT IS – IF IT RAINS IS IT COVERED?

6

STREET USE – BE AWARE OF THE RISKS. Hold it firmly with your full hand while using it. Be aware of idiosyncratic and very recognisable white earphones. These are a sign to potential thieves that you have an iPhone or iPod in your pocket. Keep it hidden where possible. 28% of all street involves a phone.

7

RUBBERIZED CASE. This does create a slight increase in size but it is far more likely to survive a fall. While the screen is resilient to scratching, with the rest of the iPhone is pot-luck as to whether it will survive a fall or not. It just depends how it falls. Sometimes it miraculously takes a massive tumble yet comes out largely unscathed – yet other times one simple pocket drop and it lands badly on its corner and shatters the screen or similar. A case will help prevent this.
