Preventing fall, impact, or scratch damage

We use our smartphones constantly and everywhere. Therefore it is likely that the device will get damaged. Dropping and bumping it can cause cracks in the display or dents in the case. Such damage can severely impair the usability of the phone. A large crack in the display, for example, often makes it difficult to read text. Unfortunately, such repairs are not covered by the warranty. In addition, scratches occur very quickly, even with normal use, as the displays of most smartphones are very sensitive.



Examples of how damage can occur

  • You bump against the edge of the table while your phone is in your pocket.
  • You accidentally sit on your device or a heavy object falls on it.
  • Your keys are in the same bag or pocket as your device.


Seven tips for avoiding damage to your device


1

Use a case

A case protects your device from drops, bumps, and scratches. Make sure that the case also protects the front well. Extra thick and soft material offers optimal protection. Gomibo offers a wide range of protective cases – take a look at our large selection and find the perfect case for your device.

2

Use a screen protector

A screen protector effectively protects your device's display from scratches. Practical: it can be replaced easily, quickly, and inexpensively. Gomibo offers suitable screen protectors for every smartphone—take a look at our large selection.

3

Take your time

Do not rush when taking your device out of the bag, as this often leads to damage by dropping it.

4

Be careful

Handle your mobile phone carefully to avoid damage as much as possible.

5

Carry your device with the display towards you

If you often carry your cell phone in your pocket, turn the display inward—this will protect it better if you bump into something.

6

No keys near your device

Don't put your cell phone in a bag or pocket where your keys are in. This can quickly cause ugly scratches.

7

Do not put it in your pocket

Avoid carrying your cell phone in your back pocket. When you sit down, this quickly puts a lot of pressure on the device, which is particularly bad for the display.
