Some Of Us Know What We’re Looking For While Some Of Us Don’t

When looking for something, many of us tend to know where to start. Some of us are will go with varieties that are easy to find. Some of us tend to be a bit more specific on what we may be looking for. Then there are some of us who just don’t know at all. That can be pretty common with anything. The same can be said when trying to do research on and looking for the best cell phone cases.

So what kinds do you like? Do you prefer to keep things simple? Do you have a precise thought on certain specifics you might be looking for? Do you want to be sure that you’re making the fairest choice? Do you find yourself to be a bit curious and adventurous? Are you combination of some or all of those things?

To be honest with you, being all of those things at one time can seem farfetched. And before some of you might ask, that’s “farfetched” as in the adjective and not “Farfetch’d” as in the pokemon. For those of you who know what I’m talking about, you have that thought now. Does that possibly bring back some memories? It just might. Let’s continue. It’s been said that a phone case can say a lot about a person. I can agree with that but only to a some degree. What do you think about that?

With Variety, There Can Also Be Factors

There is a boundless array of phone case varieties that present themselves. Not all of them are the same though. You want to take into account the kind of phone you have, the phone model compatibility and the size. Sometimes that can be a bit more complicated if you don’t know too much about the phone you own. Not only that but certain phone models tend to end up becoming lesser common over time.

Even with the number of certain models that will eventually become fewer, it still doesn’t particularly hurt the chances of you finding what you might be looking for. I’ll give you a quick tip that can help. When you get a new phone, keep the box that it came in. The box tells you the name and model of the phone you have. It will save you time and stress when you acquire or need to give information on it. Keep it in a place where you can easily find it.

The majority of phone case varieties can easily be researched. Some varieties may take a little more digging into for the simple reason being that there are some that can be a bit more exclusive than most. Some are only available to certain parts of the world. Sometimes it can be a matter of knowing where to look. We’ll tap into some of the different phone case varieties.

You Can Ultimately Choose What You Want

For those of us who like to keep things simple, we might prefer something that doesn’t require much work to put together. Something like a good old fashioned…well…maybe not old fashioned but a simple phone case. A good example is in the review I gave for the iPhone XR Cases previously. Feel free to give it a read if you find yourself interested in doing so. For those of you who are not familiar with what they look like, it’s the image to the right.

Not all phone cases are made out of the same material. More than half of the existing varieties are made out of harder material, slide around a bit more and make more noise when they come in contact with a hard surface. Other varieties can be softer, have more traction and make less noise when they come in contact with a hard surface. Some even have extra added features that can prove to be useful. Finding the perfect phone case is unrealistic. Finding the best one that speaks to you is more realistic.

There are numerous types of material a phone case can be made out of. Many of us don’t really think too much of it because we tend to just look for something sturdy, durable, and can hold up under most conditions. This can vary from case to case and each one has its own unique properties.

Plastic – A common material, it’s easy to manufacture and work with. It’s often made of polycarbonate. It’s easily affordable and can be customized.

Leather – The texture is not as firm but can be more stylish than other material varieties. They can also act as built-in wallets.

Silicone – This material is softer and more flexible than most materials. It has great grip and very good traction

Carbon Fiber – It’s highly stiff and  with very strong tensile. It’s known to be stronger than steel and can seem almost weightless.

It Can Go From Simple To Being More Sophisticated

If you happen to find yourself looking for something that has more features than one, then you might be ready to move on and go to the next level. Just know that when you go from something simple to something that’s more sophisticated, it will require you to do just a little more work to put everything together. A perfect example of this would be something like an iPhone 11 Case you see on the left.

Despite the fact that it might seem overwhelming to some, it’s actually not as bad as it might sound. You might surprise yourself and realize that it’s a great match for you especially if you might be aqcuiring all-around protection. It’s not for everyone though. Sometimes it’s a matter of giving certain things a chance.

Your Preference Is Your Own

Technology can be a bit overwhelming to some. With a bit of help on how certain things work, there can be much more ease and clarity. It can be all up to personal preference. If there is a certain material and brand you’re happy with, you can always stick with it. Just know that things change constantly and being ready for it can put you one step ahead.

Best Case Scenario

That pun was intended by the way. With all the accessories that exist when it comes to a mobile phone, some have their ways of proving to be real game changers. A good example of that has to do with the waterproof cell phone case. Although it’s not exactly the most popular choice of ally, it’s numbers can grow and its reliability can prove worthy. So when exactly can we expect it to become one of the most talked about phone topics? That’s really hard to tell. We’ll just have to wait and find out.

Some Of Us Know The Feeling While Some Of Us Prefer Not To

Have you ever dropped your handheld mobile device in water? To be honest with you, I can’t really relate to that since I haven’t had that happen to me. For me to be that fortunate for such a long time, I look to keep it that way. I’m still not going to get overconfident about nor am I going to press my luck. Unless I want to play a foolish game, I’m not willing to do that.

The closest that it will ever happen to me is in one of two ways. First, it would have to happen if I was outside in the rain or at least if the ground is very wet with puddles around. Second, I would have to be near a body of water large enough to where the phone can become fully submerged. The chances of either one of those scenarios ever becoming a reality are very low. I’m not saying that it won’t ever happen. I just know how to keep those chances at a minimum.

Then there is an undefined number of us who have had misfortunes similar if not identical to the ones that I’ve described. You may come across internet videos where phones end up in water. That’s not something that I’m ever thrilled to see or be entertained by. Although phones are not the only kind of electronic devices to come in contact with water, the phone is the main focus here.

Water Has Ways To Cause Problems

I’m sure there are many of you who like to keep your phones nearby the swimming pool. That’s where the risk comes in. You know it’s there. You wouldn’t want to accidentally fall in the water while you have your phone on you. Just know that if it does happen, all may not be completely lost. There still could be a chance to save it. You would just have to act as quickly as possible.

Here is where we get into what you can do to possibly save it. If your phone impacts water, you want to retrieve at the soonest time you can. The next thing you want to do is make sure the phone is turned off if it’s not off already. You don’t want to turn it on at any point for any reason. You want to take every possible step to ensure that you’re following through with what you need to do. That’s just for the outside of the phone. Now the focus will be on the water inside the phone where more water could be.

You then want to use a dry towel to minimize the amount of water. The next part has gradually become something of a conflict. It’s said that dry rice should be used to extract as much water out of the phone as possible. The process is supposed to take a time period of up to three days. The conflict is that how effective the rice is at extracting the water from the phone can be dependent on what kind of rice is being used.

Then there’s a second option that’s been gradual in its surface. Silica has become the other talked about method for water extraction from phones. More specifically, silica bags. It’s not clear whether or not silica bags and rice can both be use together. In this case, keeping them separate from each other would be a sensible choice. Like the seemingly conflicting choice of rice, using silica bags can take a time period of up to three days.

After three days, you want to test your phone to find out how it performs. If the phone doesn’t work, then you may have to resort to getting phone insurance if you don’t already have it.

There Comes Times When Added Protection Is Needed

As expected, the kind of protection a mobile device needs can depend on the type of device and the circumstances. If you want to ensure your phone doesn’t get wet, that’s when you might want to invest in having a waterproof phone case. Sure it may seem a bit ridiculous to some, but it’s not something that should be underestimated. You could need for a particular reason.

What if you wanted to take a dive underwater? You might feel like you’ll be in the mood to take some pictures. You just want to be sure not to lose your phone while you’re underwater. There are people who do take pictures underwater. Waterproof phones do exist. If you don’t have one, then that’s when you want to equip yourself with a waterproof phone case.

Although waterproof phone cases can work wonders, they’re ultimately not invincible. Depending on how long the waterproof phone case can last underwater depends on the phone case type. This means that they’re not all created equal. If you have a waterproof phone case, you want to be mindful not to stay underwater for too long. Unfortunately, there are currently no existing phone cases that can last underwater for an unlimited time.

Technology hasn’t really gotten that far yet. We may have to keep in mind that it may never get that far. It’s still not a complete loss though because we still have some leverage to work with. We can only find out if the wait might be worth it.

You Just Might Like It If You Try It

Sometimes there’s just no telling how helpful something can be unless you give it a chance first before completely sidelining the idea. There’s the saying that goes like this: “Don’t knock it ’til you try it.” That can prove to be true in a some cases. It’s a matter of taking everything you can possible into account before making a final decision. Considering the possibilities can be worth it. With a good bit of thought, it could make things easier when there’s always a chance for it to.

It Happens But Not To Everyone

At some point in time, we lose a possession that belongs to us. Chances are that it may have already happened. Sometimes you can never really expect it. Some things are harder to lose than others. Then there can be a great number of us who are not so careful when it comes to losing something.

That can be true especially when it comes to children. Children can have a higher probability of losing something more often than anyone else. So it might not be the best idea for them to have a device like a cell phone. I really wouldn’t want to spoil my children. As we all know, it’s obvious that it can be very unfortunate for anything to happen to a mobile device. There are solutions to that though. In this case, we’ll be getting to the topic of mobile cell phone tracking.

Sometimes Unfortunate Things Can Happen

Many of us have a habit of becoming a little too attached to our phones. We may even consider them as one of most important possessions we could ever have. But what would happen if you were to unexpectedly lose it? How would you react? How would you handle it?

There are times when a good person does the good deed of returning what you may have lost. There are even those who may go out of their way of doing so by tracking you down somehow which can be very admirable. Unfortunately, not everyone is like that. There’s also little to no chance of that happening either. This is where we keep in mind that there are those who don’t do that for one reason or another.

One possible reason could be because they may not care. Another reason would be because they may want to steal it and take full advantage which is one of the worst possible outcomes. If your phone ends up in the wrong hands, your personal data and information will be at potential risk of being exposed.

Then there’s the possibility of someone losing their phone in a very careless way. It’s one thing to lose it by accident but it’s another thing when someone is so irresponsible that maybe they do deserve to lose it. This is not me trying to be mean. It really does happen that way. Someone could be in a very high place above the ground and even over a body of water.

If a person were to drop their phone in either one of those scenarios, then these situations would be terrible and the chances of being able to retrieve it again will be slim to none.This would count as an example of someone taking something for granted to a degree high enough that it would ultimately lead them to have to learn the hard way. Can you imagine how bad that can hurt? Chances are you can because you most likely had an experience like that at some point in time.

There Are Methods You Can Choose From

Now let’s tap into methods that can be used if it was you who had the misfortune of losing your mobile phone. That can easily turn into a nightmare. Some situations are not as bad as others could potentially be. Sometimes it can depend on the circumstances. Here we can tap into an example of that.

Let’s say that you’re at home and you misplace your phone. You’ve never left your home and you know it’s around somewhere. One solution to finding it would be to use your house phone to dial your mobile phone number. If your phone is set on sound and it’s loud, it should make it much easier to find. Then only action left would be to listen carefully to where the sound is coming from.

If your phone is set on vibrate, that will only make things harder. You would need to hope that the phone is on a hard surface. You would also need to hope that it’s loud enough so you can pinpoint where it could be. If your phone is on either silent or turned off completely, then that will be the most frustrating. Then you won’t be able to find it for a possibly long period of time. You’ll want to consider getting a special phone tracker device, downloading phone tracker software or take to going online for other solutions.

If you were on vacation and you end up being the one to lose your phone, that will become an immediate problem especially if you’re unable to recall when and where you lost it. It can also potentially get worse sooner rather than later especially if it were to fall into the wrong hands. This can count as a worst case scenario. In that situation, your most likely to call you health care provider to report it lost.

This is where we talk about someone else losing their phone and you wanting to help them track it. You can do so by using an app on your phone that you may have installed. You can also choose to use a phone tracking device that you might have with you.

You Might Just Develop An App-etite

Okay, maybe that pun was bad but you’ll get where I’m going with this one. Comedy is not easy. Going back to apps, there are a number of phone tracker apps you can choose from. Keep in mind that some apps don’t have GPS trackers so you want to go for the ones that do. This can be very helpful when you’re trying to help someone who may have lost their phone and vice versa. Let’s talk a little about what some of them are:

Google Maps – An app many of us are familiar with, it highly accurate since it has Wi-Fi and GPS. You can also track down more than one device at a time. One big plus about this app is that it doesn’t cost anything to download it.

Find My Phone – This app is pretty straightforward just by its name. Compatible with other Android devices, it can focus on the live location of the target. It also provides regular updates on the location of the lost device 

Find My Device – This is another app straightforward by its name. Similar to the Find My Phone app, this one can also be used to track the lost device’s location especially if the location is live. There is also no cost to downloading it and compatible with Android.

Glympse – This app is a lesser know but can be very useful. You can access its location tracking activity using the app’s online dashboard. It’s compatible with Windows, iOS, and Android devices.

It’s Always Good To Be Prepared

Many of us tend to be confident that we won’t lose our valuables. Sometimes we can be a little too confident. You always want to know what to do just in case it does ever happen to you. Sometimes you can even be the most careful as you can be and still somehow end up being unfortunate enough. Those odds are ultimately very low but they exist nonetheless. You can still be in control. It’s never a bad idea to have a back up plan.
