Also, put your phone securely in your pocket while not using it and avoid leaving your phone on table edges or where it can easily drop to the floor.

3. Keep your phone away from children.

Children can be so careless in handling your phone so you should keep it away from them. They may end up breaking it, dropping it in water or even misplacing it.

4. Avoid extremes

Your phone will malfunction or get damaged if you use it in extreme temperatures. Don't leave your phone sitting in the car on a hot sunny day or leave it in a cold place like a refrigerator.

5. Protect the screen

One of the most annoying and disappointing things is to get a scratch on the screen of a new phone. Well, you can protect a scratch or crack by investing in a good screen protector.

6. Invest in a case

A case will protect your phones from falls and scratches. It will also help in making your phone look new and might protect it from internal damage that results from falls. Another added advantage is that a case can make your phone look beautiful and unique.

7. Take your phone with you always if possible

Never let your phone out of your sight. Avoid lending people unless it's really necessary as accidents can happen. And if you're giving to someone, make sure he's responsible.

8. Protect it from theft

A damage is not the only thing that can take away your phone from you. Phones are valuable so they can be stolen by thieves. Keep this in mind and protect it.
