So it is Father’s Day and like most dads these days we are connected in various ways. We all have our smart phones that keep us up to date with everything from e-mails to the latest hockey scores (Go Jets Go). Yes, we love to know our facts and to be connected. However, there are many dangers lurking around the corner wanting to harm our precious smart phones.
The Otterbox Defender Series, can protect your smart phone from dust, drops, and scratches.
Dust is everywhere. And it can get in anywhere. Wherever there is a small crack, dust will work its way in. Keep dust off of your smart phone screen and from getting into the components of your phone.
Drops happen. How many times have I been on my phone and attempted to put it back in my jacket pocket in a hurry, and missed. Or had one of my kids jump on me while typing away. Yes, this happens and when it does my smart phone has an unscheduled meeting with the pavement…and many times it can suck…big time. Otterbox protects your phone from damage should you drop it accidentally or have it dropped for you.
Scratches on your smart phone screen are not a pleasant sight. Not only do they look awful, but it can make it hard to work on your phone if the scratches are large enough. Now you know your smart phone screen is protected from scratches and cracks.
And Otterbox gives you and your phone style! Don’t get me wrong, some smart phones look good on their own, but some need help. Why not give your phone your own style and have some way to personalize it while not harming its original case. Having some way to “dress” your phone and make it yours is a cool thing.
Otterbox also has the Pursuit Style which can protect your phone against water as well. Check out all 6 of Otterbox cases and find the one that works for you!
