Get a Case

This happens quite often, and there’s no guarantee and assurance to avoid phone droppings. But, you can lower the drop impact by putting a case or cover on your smartphone.
There are dozens of smartphone cases to choose from for almost every device model. If you are prone to drop your phone, then you should invest in a case which will protect your device against every possible damage (even driving a truck over it!!!). Otherwise, you can also go for a slimmer or simple case.
