Proper Cell Phone Handling

Try not to drop your phone. Depending on what type of surface it lands on, dropped phones can suffer cracked screens or dislodged internal components. 

The worst damage occurs when a falling phone is connected to an accessory such as a headset, as the impact often bends or rips out the jack where the accessory connects to the phone. 

While you're walking around, a good way to keep your phone securely at your side is to use a belt clip or a holster. 

Another good reason to use a carrying case or belt clip is to keep the phone from being mashed inside a briefcase. 

Cracked display screens or broken antennas can result when someone tries to squeeze a handset into an overloaded briefcase.
