Now that we’re safely in the new year, there’s something I\u00a0want, nay something I must<\/strong> share with you.<\/p>\n

A good portion of you probably received a new tablet or phone this holiday season. Flurry.com reports a slim majority<\/a> were iOS devices, but even if you were in the minority, you still have a\u00a0brand new device that you’re\u00a0 breaking in. With that said, here’s a little tip from Techcitement:<\/p>\n

Get a case.<\/h3>\n

Seriously, I\u00a0cannot stress enough how important this is. Yes, your faux leather back on your Note is just the greatest. I\u00a0totally agree that your color choice of iPhone or the distinctive metal look of your HTC is a perfect compliment to your personality. The thing is, you’re toting around a fragile device there. We tend to forget how breakable our smart devices are, and how expensive they are to fix. It’s such a huge thing that HTC actually replaces<\/a> your shattered glass the first time it happens if it does so within the first half year of purchase. But why even get to the point where that happens?<\/p>\n

\"broken-cell-phone\"<\/a>

\u201cI can still use it.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Full price for a basic protective case will run you $50 at the most. (I’ll be shocked if you can’t find a good one cheaper on Amazon) I’m personally fond of OtterBox<\/a>, but Speck<\/a> and others all make good cases that can defend your item of choice. I admit that there’s less selection when you get out of the Apple, HTC, Samsung, LG, and Motorola major brands, but they do exist.<\/p>\n

Every day, we see people walking around with devices that costs hundreds of dollars and have huge cracks. Some of our writers get paid good money to replace screens and we know how much it can cost.<\/p>\n

So, please, if you ever really loved us, get a case. I’ll get off yours now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
