iphone5covers

So you have a new iPhone 5 (or iPad) but don't think you need a protective case or cover for it? Well, you might like to consider the results of a recent study completed by electronics insurers, SquareTrade. They revealed that 28% (nearly one-third) of iPhone 5s are damaged beyond repair within the first two years of ownership! These iPhone 5s are either completely damaged or they have suffered a broken screen rendering them useless to their owners.
Now, whilst SquareTrade did not indicate in their report the percentage of iPhone 5s that were protected by a case or some other form of protective cover, it makes sense that if you are going to spend a few hundred dollars on a phone that you should also spend a few more to protect it.
There are basically two things that you can do to improve the chances of your iPhone 5 surviving longer than two years:
1. Dress your iPhone 5 in a protective case or cover. The range of iPhone 5 cases and covers available is staggering. You can get plastic ones, silicone ones, wooden ones and even felt ones! When selecting a case for your iPhone 5 make sure you look at the protective qualities as well as how good it looks! A good sturdy case that also looks good will cost in the region of $20 to $30.
2. Apply a screen protector to your iPhone 5. iPhone 5 screen protectors are thin layers of see-through film that adheres to the front of your iPhone 5. These screens help to protect the delicate glass surface from scratches. When purchasing your iPhone 5 case check to see if comes with a free screen protector - many do!
Finally, if you really want to make sure that you won't be left without your iPhone 5 as a result of an accident then you should also consider purchasing phone insurance.
If you want to make sure your iPhone 5 doesn't become another statistic then you should consider purchasing, at a minimum, a protective case and a screen protector.
