Content and/or other value provided by our partner, Asurion.

For a lot of us, our smartphones are crucial in our lives. So much valuable information is in that little device, including connections to work, family, friends, photos and so much more. Losing them can create a lot of headaches. I remember one time when I couldn’t find my phone. I retraced my steps for hours. I tried virtually everything, only to find it had slipped through the seat of my friend’s car and was on the floor in the back. Huge sigh of relief.

Even worse than that was when I’ve dropped my phone and it has gotten cracked or the day it went through the washing machine while in the inside pocket of my hoodie! Needless to say that was a completely lost cause.

1 in 4 people will lose, damage or have their phone stolen this year.  My iPhone is like a mini-computer to me.  Without protection, I’d be a lot more worried.

And what about your kids’ smartphones? 


Protection Tips

Asurion offers these easy summer tips to help minimize the damage to children’s phones this summer:

• A good case or silicone protector can help protect the back and sides against scratches and provide some impact protection.

• A transparent film screen protector can prevent the screen from scratching and can also help remove glare.

• A growing number of waterproof cases are on the market designed to protect phones when submerged in water for a limited amount of time.

• Purchase cell phone insurance to protect your investment and stay connected with children. Many wireless carriers now offer Asurion’s downloadable application that can remotely locate, lock or wipe a phone, along with the insurance coverage.

It’s great to know that the complete Asurion protection package, available through most wireless companies, empowers you with the apps and services that put you in control – everything you need for total peace of mind so you can enjoy using your smartphone. You can feel safe knowing you’re protected with Asurion, whether you need technology to secure your data privacy against growing mobile threats, need a device expert who’s just a call or click away, or coverage to replace your phone as quickly as the next day.

Have you had a mobile mishap or know someone who did? We’d love to hear about it. One person who shares their story will win a $40 Amazon or $40 iTunes card (your choice!)

Share your mobile mishap and enter to win by using the Rafflecopter below.

    While driving, the guy in the car in front of us hit the car he was in back of. He was on his cell phone, stopped the car and got out of the car, still talking on his cell. They exchanged information with the driver whose car he hit and continued to talk on his cell as he walked back to his car.

    Hi! 🙂 Well, I’ve been lucky so far, and not have had any mishaps… my old PDA lasted years – and there were a couple times when I dropped it that in those first couple of seconds, you’re wondering.

    Had to finally replace that PDA last year, and haven’t dropped it yet, but it has a better case now, so if I do, less wondering. 🙂

    And hope the old luck holds out for years to come! 🙂

    My phone thankfully has made it through being dropped many many times however my phone cases were not so lucky. I am currently on #4 and it’s broken too. I’ve spent over 120.00 on phone cases alone in the last year. I drop my phone normally while carrying the baby to the car, carrying the diaper bag and my purse. I am usually fumbling with everything and my phone smacks the ground. Takes my breath away, if it gets broken it’s 600.00 to replace it as I am not eligible for an upgrade yet (Eek!)

    My sister put her phone on her tire while she tied her shoe, forgot about the phone, and drove over it. DOH!

    I dropped my phone in a puddle once, that was not good. Been really careful since then.

    My cell vibrated its way off the dresser, crashing to the floor.

    I was putting my phone in my purse and missed. It hit the curb and bounced onthe asphalt. It was scratched but works.

    My son dropped his cell phone and was fortunate enough to get it replaced, which is a rarity. My friend dropped hers in the toilet at work during a meeting. The company replaced it because she is always hooked up through her phone. We all depend on these devices so much.

    A good case needs to be able to protect the phone from scratches as well as act as a shock absorber to protect the functionality of the phone, and protect the touch screen from scratches and cracks.
