Protecting Your Mobile From Moisture

Moisture causes corrosion of the internal parts of a cell phone. To avoid this, hands should be dry when handling the cell phone and a protective case can be a good preventative measure as well. It's not uncommon for cell phone repair techs to work on phones that have been dropped into sinks, toilets, swimming pools, and so forth. 

Leaving the cell phone in a safer, dry environment is wise but keeping it attached with a belt clip or "leash" is another method of preventing accidents when the phone must accompany the user into a "moisture rich" environment.
