SMARTPHONE ACCESSORY ESSENTIALS

One of the joys of buying a new smartphone is the experience of unwrapping the creative packaging and absorbing that new phone smell. But once you’ve charged up, backed up, and fired up, it’s time to add a few new essential accessories to the purchase. Words Bec Summer

Panzer Safe Screen Protector

A case. More than just a potential fashion accessory, a good phone case can be the difference between a scuffed corner and the expense associated with a shattered screen. Just think about how often your smartphone takes a tumble over a month. Add kids into the mix to quadruple that number. Phone screens are like eggshells, especially when dropped on a corner, but a good case will go a long way to protect against that. As our mum used to say, buy cheap, buy twice – our advice is to get a quality robust case from the off; you won’t regret it.

A screen protector. Throwing a screen protector into a smartphone purchase can feel like a fast-food upsell, but these are a must. Again, it can be tempting to scrimp here but try to aim for the best the budget with allow. A good screen protector can help reduce eye strain by diffusing glare. They also help guard against scratching (car keys in the pocket, anyone?), can add privacy measures, and afford extra protection from the inevitable phone spills. They also help to repel dust and grime, keeping the smartphone in mint condition.
