We spend a lot of money on premium smartphones and their accessories. However, poor maintenance can lead to broken cables, yellowing cases, and unresponsive screen protectors. Following these simple tips can help you extend the lifespan of your mobile accessories significantly.
Clear cases are notorious for turning yellow over time due to UV light exposure and the natural oils from your skin. While you can't reverse the chemical yellowing completely, you can keep them clean and hygienic:
Charging cables often break near the connector points. To prevent this, never pull the cable by the wire; always grip the hard plastic plug. You can also wrap a small piece of heat-shrink tubing or a pen spring around the ends to reinforce the weak spots. Avoid tightly winding cables in your bag.
Over time, the oleophobic coating (oil-repellent layer) on your tempered glass wears off, making it a fingerprint magnet. Clean your screen using a microfiber cloth and an alcohol-free screen cleaning solution. Never use harsh household glass cleaners (like Colin), as they contain ammonia which destroys the protective layers of your display and screen guard.
True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earbuds attract earwax and dust, which can block the speaker mesh and reduce audio volume. Clean the mesh gently using a dry cotton swab or a soft-bristled brush. Always wipe the metal charging contacts before placing the earbuds back in the case to ensure consistent charging.
Taking care of your accessories not only saves you money in the long run but also ensures your smartphone functions safely and optimally. Stay tuned to FitMyCase India for more tech tips!
