Cell phones are among the most important gadgets in our digital world. Hardly anyone can imagine life without one. It is therefore all the more important that your cell phone is protected against the influences of daily life in the best possible way. This article shows you what options you have to protect your cell phone.

Cell phone cases are a great way to effectively increase cell phone protection against external influences. This is because a cell phone case provides the best protection against external influences of all kinds. The outer case not only absorbs an impact, but also prevents moisture and dirt from penetrating directly to the cell phone to a certain extent. Apple leather cases are very popular for good reason and are therefore available in a wide variety of shapes, colors and designs. Whether plain or individual, colored or transparent, all options are open to you. The materials can also be chosen almost freely.

The best cell phone protection is offered by cases that enclose the entire device. So-called foldable or foldable cell phone cases, which also protect the display of the phone when it is not in use. As with conventional cell phone cases, the back of the device is also protected at all times. We do not currently offer a so-called "folding case" at Good Wilhelm. But it will certainly be an interesting product for us in the near future.

Films for the display of your smartphone are a practical cell phone protection to prevent scratches on the display. For us in the team at Good Wiwlhelm, this is an absolute MUST.
This is even more important than protecting the phone's casing, because while damage to the casing usually only causes visual damage, cracks on the display have a negative impact on handling. In the worst-case scenario, it is no longer possible to use the device, as the visual display cannot be reproduced. Display films are applied over the entire screen of your smartphone. The screen must be carefully cleaned beforehand to ensure optimum adhesion of the film. Once properly applied, the film is barely visible. Nevertheless, the invisible helper offers the display maximum protection. Depending on the film, protection from light scratches through to protection from display damage is provided.

So-called bumpers are minimalist cell phone cases that help to increase cell phone protection. The device is fixed in a frame that protects the corners and edges of the device. This is because these are usually the first points of contact when the smartphone bounces against something. A bumper can prevent unsightly visual damage. In addition, the external technical components such as buttons for adjusting the volume and switching on and off are protected in the best possible way. Like cell phone cases, bumpers can be purchased in many different designs. They match your smartphone or you perfectly in terms of color and style. We at Good Wilhelm are big fans of our BRUNO leather case. With this type of case, the phone remains as slim as possible but is also well protected. In combination with a screen protector film, it provides excellent protection and is our recommendation.

The liquid screen protector serves as an alternative cell phone protection to conventional films. A liquid is sprayed onto the screen of the smartphone and then carefully rubbed in. As soon as this liquid dries, a hardening process begins. The hard coating then protects the display from scratches and cushions the display against drops. In addition, the display itself can no longer become dirty. The sealing prevents dust and liquid from penetrating the screen itself. We have not yet tried this type of protection ourselves.

A finger holder is not in itself a gadget to protect your smartphone. But it can prevent accidents. By using the holder, the smartphone sits much better in your hand. The firm grip makes it very unlikely that your device will slip out of your hand and fall to the ground. This protects your cell phone preventively. Protects well, but looks strange and uncool :-)

No, this is not a joke. Developers are constantly looking for new methods to protect Samsung devices as well as iPhones. This is understandable, as the market for cell phone protection is huge. There are now protective covers that are equipped with mini airbags. These are triggered by acceleration sensors when the cell phone falls from the hand or trouser pocket towards the ground. However, these airbags are usually not classic airbags as we know them from cars. In these very fashionable cases, metal parts are extended which then hit the ground. This means that the cell phone itself is not directly involved in the impact and damage is prevented. It will be interesting to see whether this cell phone protection variant will become established in the future.

The options already mentioned are not just for cell phone protection. Of course, you can also use them to protect your iPad. But the finger holder is hardly useful on a larger tablet. These devices usually fit better in the hand than a conventional smartphone anyway. Leather iPad cases, display foils or liquid screen protectors, on the other hand, are also an effective method of protecting tablets from external influences and damage.

As you have now seen, there are numerous ways to increase your cell phone protection sufficiently. These are usually not expensive compared to the price of the cell phone. It is therefore definitely worth equipping your smartphone with a wide range of protection options, such as those from GOOD WILHELM.
