I’m hoping that this year I’m on the nice list, as I’m praying that Santa will bring me an iPhone X… Well a girl can dream?! Actually, I’m not sure how realistic it is to think that Santa’s (AKA my husband’s) pockets are quite that deep. I think I might end up having to treat myself for all my hard work during 2017.
One thing that worries me so much, having smashed multiple phone screens, is investing a hefty sum of money on this smart bit of tech and then smashing it!
We have stone floors all the way through our house, so it only takes a slip while chasing after a dog or a child and my phone screen is history. Last time, it resulted in a £150 bill from Apple, so I’m keen to avoid that happening again.
I’ve been checking out phone protection. I must admit I have always gone for the pretty-but-probably-quite-useless sort of phone case, which are way more aesthetically pleasing than practical.
Tech21 offer a range of the practical, robust cases that any £800-£1000 phone should live in! They might make the phone a little chunkier, but at least you will be able to hold it without it slipping out of your hands.
Tech21 claim their cases can survive a 3 meter drop, which is a fair distance. Much further than the standard accidental drop would be. This level of protection is due to their FlexShock which is a unique 3-layer impact absorption system. Each design is subjected to rigorous testing with cases drop tested 20 times, ensuring durability and long-lasting protection so that users can drop more and care less.
For the last 12 years they have been developing the most advanced, scientifically proven cases and screen shields for mobile, tablet and laptops. tech21 focus on combining science, engineering and British design resulting in products that address three core benefits: style, protection and performance. All of their products undergo a rigorous testing program, so you KNOW they are up to the job!
Even though Apple claim the glass used in their new iPhone 8 is the most durable ever, and the glass rear is reinforced with metal, it just takes an awkward landing and a crack could appear.
The cases range from around £29.95 which is a bit more expensive than your standard case, but considering the level of added protection they are value for money.
The new range of cases and screen shields for Apple iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X includes so many different cases, you’ll be sure to find one which is perfect for your needs.
Is it weird that I’ve already decided on my case before I’ve even been gifted bought my own phone?!
I’ve been eyeing up the Pure Clear – More Than Skin Deep, as you can still see the phone colour through the case which I like. This case uses BulletShield™, which is the most transparent case they have ever made, is significantly thinner and lighter than the market leader yet still provides up to 6.6 feet of drop protection. All for £29.95.
If you prefer something a little bit more traditional you could try the Evo Tactical – Raw. Inspired by minerals, it combines durable materials with refined textures, giving users a tactile experience every time they pick up their phone. Also making it easier to grip.
You can also pick up a screen protection from their range of impact shields, such as the Evo Glass – Smooth and Precise to save your phone screen from scratches and cracks.
So I have the protection all sorted out, now just to figure out how to get my hands on that iPhone X…… Santa?!
