Protecting Your New Smartphone
After spending your hard-earned cash on a brand new LG G Flex 2 phone, you will want to make sure it is safe from different causes of damage. There is a large range of different protective cases and covers for your new phone that can also add personality and style.
What Should I Protect My Phone From?
Before you choose a protective case, you should understand why you need to protect your phone in the first place.
- Water damage: Phones are sensitive electronic devices and any drops of water that get into them can wreak havoc on the internal workings. Water can get into the small openings of your phone if you get caught in the rain, are splashed while next to the pool, or if you accidentally spill over a glass of water.
- Shock damage: Dropping your phone is definitely not good for it since the tiny electronic pieces can move or break.
- Dust and debris: Dust and debris can cause issues with your phone if tiny particles get into the openings.
- Scratches: Many everyday objects can easily scratch your phone's outer surface, making it look old fast. Scratches on the screen are unsightly to look at and may disturb you being able to view media properly.
What Kind of Cases Can I Find?
There are many cases that you can choose from, all offering different forms of protection. For each type of case, you can usually find a number of colors or patterns to choose from. Cases always allow you to plug in your charger while they are on your phone.
- Flip wallet case: A flip case functions as a protective accessory for your phone as well as a wallet. Your phone sits snugly inside, and you can use the card slots built into the back of the cover to store your ID and money cards.
- Hard case cover: This type of cover is heavy duty and usually offers both shock protection and water protection. You'll find that a hard case cover is quite bulky due to a dual layer of plastic, but this may be of small significance if you want ultimate protection for your G Flex 2. Some covers come with a kickstand so you can sit your phone on a table to watch media.
- Ultra-thin case: If you are looking for something thin and barely noticeable, you could choose a slim plastic case, or a silicone sleeve.
- Screen protector: As well as having an LG G Flex 2 case, you can choose to have a screen protector. This is a thin piece of plastic or glass that sticks to your phone screen and protects your screen from scratches, and shattering if you happen to drop your phone.
