Five Ways to Get Tough Against Phone Hazards
When you work out in a place like this, you see a lot of phones that can't keep up.
But it's not just in the gym. No matter who you are or where you go, there's a situation that could pop up and ruin your phone and your day.
At least, that's the way it used to be. Verizon makes it really easy to upgrade to something tougher or add a phone that can take on every element. So I want to break down some of those hazards and the phones that stand up to them.
First up is water.
You might drop your phone in a creek or a toilet, but water doesn't have to be the enemy anymore.
I'm not talking just a splash on the screen. There are phones now that can handle total submersion. Like, "five feet of water for up to 30 minutes" submersion.
So if you jump in the pool with that phone in your pocket, you're still all good.
If you want to go one step further... find a phone that's water-resistant AND shatterproof. Verizon has some great ones to choose from.
Look, gravity isn't going anywhere. Let's say you're a mom and your kid uses your phone to pitch a temper tantrum. One toss across the room...it hits the counter...lands in the sink.
Not a big deal. They're building these suckers with shatterproof displays and water-resistant coatings. Not to mention all the other features you're looking for in a smartphone.
Now on to #3... Just because you can't see dust, doesn't mean you can't fight it off with a dust-resistant phone.
If the phone you're looking at is water-resistant, chances are it's dust and dirt resistant, too.
These phones are really tightly sealed up, which means less chance of grit and granules working their way inside or clogging up things like a charging port.
Still want more? If you're looking to get really hardcore, check out phones that adhere to strict military standards.
If it's good enough for the Department of Defense, you know it can handle whatever crazy your day throws at it.
These are the toughest phones out there, so they tackle everything I've mentioned, plus other hazards like extreme temperatures.
Finally...it never hurts to add an extra layer of protection with accessories.
Verizon has all the ultra-durable phone cases you could ever need.
You can also pick up a screen protector that's gonna cut down on dirt and sand that could cause scratches.
See? The world's not such a scary place for phones anymore. So click below to find one with the protection you're looking for and upgrade at a price you'll love.
