How To Protect Your iPad Or iPhone?

Anyone purchasing an iPhone or iPad will learn quickly that the big open screens, and even the back and sides, are prone to “injury”. So protection is key. And there really is a huge variety of options when it comes to protecting these little guys. Especially for the iPad.

The first and most important layer of protection, according to most, are the clear film “protective skins” that go directly on the surface of the devices. These skins protect your iPhones and iPads from most potential damages and can really take a beating. Most companies pricing is fairly inexpensive for these protective skins, which makes it a no brainer for most.

A good idea as well is a hard cover case for storage and usability. There are a lot of materials made to encase your device, but something somewhat strong and portable is usually the best idea. A lot of these cases you can even fold and shape to angle your iPad or iPhone on it’s end like a television.

After you’ve chosen and applied your layers of protection, it’s important to keep your iPad or iPhone clean. Even though you should have some form of scratch protection and a hard case of some kind, small particles like dirt and dust can easily cause problems. When cleaning your device, be sure to:

* Clean with a soft and slightly damp, lint free cloth.
* Rub the open faces gently and be very careful when cleaning along the edges and near the buttons.
* It is very important to never use any cleaners or solvents as these can cause potential damages. Only use water to lightly dampen your cloth.
