How do you keep your phone safe from drops and damage?

I am a huge fan of the Otterbox Defender. I can't tell you how many times I have dropped my phone, but it is still good as new :D.

I replaced the case on my device just recently after getting approx 2.5 years out of it. No regrets!

My phone doesn't get used and so it doesn't get into heavy-duty jobs. The CAse that I got helps with raindrops and the case able to have the phone standing up and helps to watch things.

PAid like £10 to $15 and last for 5 years so far. But not heavy use on it.

What I do for my phone is that I use a tempered screen protector along with a flip cover with a magnetic lock.

I know its too much but for the past 7 years, I have never had to change my phone because the screen broke. I changed my phone 5 times in last 7 years for entirely different reasons though.

I have a friend who has been using the same phone for 6 years now. XD

Both. I'm using a glass screen protector and a hard back case to prevent damage from occurring. I replace these mobile accessories either when they break or when they've taken some wear and tear.

If there are several things that I am good in , I think dropping my phone easily is one of them ? .
I do change my screen guard often because of this . have been trying to avoid such , since the last phone I bought , and so far , I think I have tried to keep it safe for more than a month , and that's like a miracle ?

I have a Ringke Fusion case for mine and a tempered glass screen protector. So far I've been lucky with my drops. No damage.

I always just get a case. I stick to Spigen who make some great cases that both protect your phone and don't make it too bulky. I don't bother with a screen protector.

I haven't yet felt the need to use either actively. If I were to choose, my first thing I would like to use to help protect my phone, would be a durable phone casing. The last time I used one, it was pretty good at protecting from most typical drops. The only time it didn't help, was when I lent my phone to my niece, and she dropped it from the bleachers at a high school basketball game.

I have the one that came with my Xiaomi and it is beyond great, it's similar to the one you use.

I'm not as hard on my phone as some people, however, I do keep it in some kind of a case. I do drop mine once in a great while. Not a lot, mind you. Just maybe once or twice a year it'll get dropped at some point on accident.

I don't have any kind of case or protection on my phone. I haven't felt compelled to buy anything for it. My mom and my daughter thinks I should. But I just haven't. No reason really.

There's no way that I'm not going to be using both the smartphone case and screen protector. They are both very important for the safety of my smartphone. But if I'm forced to choose only one, it's going to be the screen protector.

Both of them are very good for the safety of your smartphone. Those who designed and produced it aren't stupid to do so because they know how much relevant it's going to be for smartphone guarding.

Screen protectors are all good but, to be honest, I always find them annoying when they bubble and you can never seem to fully get the bubble to disappear which is annoying. I am happy as long as I have a case on my phone and it works to protect it. I only have a case on my phone at the moment and I have dropped it a few times and it still works really well.
