Cats:

That’s right, your cute little feline is secretly a vandal in disguise and can often be the culprit in breaking your beloved mobile phone screen. Cats enjoy nothing more than knocking anything precious off your table or windowsill, with your phone being no exception. As to why cats do this, Veterinarian Dr. Ellen Whiteley says that if your cat is bored, they will try to get your attention by doing what they know will work. Unfortunately, this means swiping anything not nailed down onto the floor. Personally, we think that cats are evil, just get a dog.

In the washing machine:

You’ve had a hard day at work and all you can think about is putting your clothes in the wash and settling down in your comfy bed. However, be sure to check your pockets for anything valuable before starting the wash cycle! It would be a shame if an expensive mobile phone that really doesn’t play nice with water ended up taking a bath. However, looking at how many of our customers use their phones on the toilet, maybe this isn’t such a bad idea after all.

Dropped in the bath:

It used to be romantic novels or the morning paper that ended up taking a dive in to the soapy depths but, these days we have become so dependant on our mobile phones, that we can’t even take a relaxing bath without spying on people on Facebook, arguing with someone on Twitter or even watching Netflix and YouTube. I mean come on, what has the world come to but whatever the case, one things for sure, Mobile phones, water, soap and scuba diving don’t compliment each other too well.
