Protecting mobile devices is serious business. While manufacturers strive to create beautifully constructed and impeccably finished products, the reality is that smartphones and tablets are mostly glass and steel. They crack and shatter when dropped, and cost hundreds of dollars to repair or replace.
With a lot of people getting new smartphones this holiday season, the next best things to get during the holidays are thoughtful gifts to protect their investment.
This makes considering a case and a screen protector a smart investment. Here are other gifts that can help protect mobile devices and extend their life and functionality.
