    How to Engineer Proof Your Mobile?



    Hi Guys!

    I have a new mobile not the latest all singing and dancing model.
    But still a nice enough phone.
    All the youngsters in the family have cases for their "I Phones" or similar.
    A case for mine start at under a fiver.
    But I don't mind paying more if recommended.

    Can anyone recommend a particular design, that will at least afford some sort of protection?

    be careful of the ghost armour plastic cover as its great for protecting the screen when u use a bumper to protect the edges it starts to peel away, the armour protection is about 15 quid then a fiver for each replacment film and the bumper from apple is around 20 quid

    THIS is what you are looking for, it should even be bear proof.

    Note: Non Swedish suppliers are available but might be giving inferior service.
    (Also, it is available for other phones but as you didn't state what you got...)

    Plus a screen saver similar to this,

    You'd need to check compatibility obviously.

    Re: How to Engineer Proof Your Mobile?

    Brilliant suggestions, thanks Guys.
    Food for thought.
    But as it is only a Nokia 301.
    I ain't going to get to many options.
    I really like the tyre tread and the griffin is the muts nuts!

    Shame I have not got a phone worthy of them!

    Pink is for the Girly Gas Brigade!

    Only joking!

    But it does have a pretty good camera and big letters and resolution.

    Good for this old scroat!
    Oh! and the blue tooth works well with the Hands free.
    One day I'll be a big boy and have something more relevant to what we actually need Hooky!

    But then again there are as you know to many in offices that believe we (Those on the tools) are not worthy of such nice shinny and bright tools.

    Thanks guys, it was a nice idea, but I think my options are pretty basic?
    Ho Hum!
