Quick tip of the dayIf you keep your phone in a case, I bet you’re shocked every time you take off the case and see all the grime collected inside. You don’t need to be quite as careful with your case as your phone’s screen and ports. For plastic, rubber and silicone cases, grab an old toothbrush and a bit of warm, soapy water. Use the toothbrush to reach all the corners and crevices. Rinse it thoroughly.Very lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with water and mild soap for leather cases. Lightly rub the case in circular motions.📱 After it’s clean, let your case dry thoroughly before you put it back on. Need case recommendations? I share some here, along with my favorite screen protector. This has saved me from cracking my iPhone several times. |
