Tips in Choosing an iPhone Protector

If there’s one accessory that is highly demanded for the iPhone, that’s gonna be the harm-proof case. It is particularly important because of the fact that the iPhone is almost zero-level of physical protection if without a case. We can all agree it is a very elegant phone and is full-packed with awe-striking features, but it is obviously very prone to physical damage. And so when the weather gets bad and rains come showering unexpectedly, what a pity can the iPhone be when its only jacket is your pocket.

There are many stores where you can find good iPhone cases. If you are in a city with respectable portion of rain showers, or you are merely passionate of protecting your iPhone from external threats, you will never regret buying a weather-proof case. You can choose from the most petite to the most bulky or the warmest to coolest, but no one can resist an economic, neat and protective iPhone case. I’m sure you can always find a great buy in the global bazaar. A good choice would one that will certainly blend your preferred theme and style for your iPhone. Nonetheless, the greatest charm of a great case is its ability to provide complete interaction with each iPhone feature and yet preserves its peak ability to protect your iPhone.

Interaction with the iPhone is almost fully dependent on its screen. Never buy a case, that interferes against your intimacy with your iPhone. A completely wrapped in silicone case can provide you this convenience. Silicone-wrapped cases also give you the ability to have a tight yet comfortable grip on your iPhone. This prevents you from dropping it, wherever and whenever.

Your choice iPhone case must fit firmly on the iPhone. Make sure it’s not overly tight, nor too loose-fitting so that your iPhone remains neat and not showing any signs of feature-accessibility constraints. The outer part of the iPhone case can be rugged to provide a better grip. However, the interior should be soft because your iPhone definitely demands a smooth and cozy home.

Regardless of which iPhone case you have, do not forget that once your iPhone is inside the case, there is no chance to access the silence switch. Therefore, if you have plans to dive into silence-mode, I advise that you do it before wrapping your iPhone with the newly obtained case.

If you are not much into the iPhone case, you might prefer LCD screen protectors. This is a good alternative especially when you are very concerned with reducing glares and fingerprints or preventing scratches on your iPhone screen.

Finally, you should never miss having your iPhone checked if you are suspecting some damages prior to buying a case or screen protector. It will always be best to put a 100% damage-free iPhone inside an iPhone case.

How To Extend Your iPhone Battery Life

We have never been more empowered at the work place or in school until the birth of the Apple smart devices: iPhones, iPods, and iPads. With the offering of a variety of applications, they have become an indispensable part of many people's lives. From calling loved ones, checking emails, connecting with friends on social networking sites, updating them with photos, getting organized with things-to-do-today, preparing for grocery shopping to engaging with some fun games, no wonder it wastes away its battery life easily!

Here are some points to save your iPhone, iPod, or iPad battery life:

•    Turn off Bluetooth if you are not using it. If it’s on, the device is working in the background to find other devices to pair with, consuming your device's power.

•    Turn off WiFi. When you are in a place where you are certain there is no WiFi connection, turn the feature off to decrease power use.

•    Turn off location services. Some applications have a geo-identifying element that automatically recognizes your whereabouts. They help some people, but many don’t really need it.

•    Turn off push notifications. At particular intervals, your iPhone fetches emails and other applications generate notifications for you, using battery life. Turn it off especially if the information is not urgent.

•    Turn off vibration and keypad tones. They do not seem like they would use a lot of power, but if you  multiply it with the number of times used, it does add up.

•    Turn off customized music or radio equalizers. The default settings are good enough.

•    Turn off 3G feature. For places where there is a hopeless 3G connection, turn off 3G to stop your phone from switching from 2G to 3G constantly, thus reducing power consumption.

•    Turn on airplane mode when you are in places that have zero network access. It will keep your device from searching for networks.

•    Turn on auto-lock feature of your device. Keep it on the shortest wait time before it locks. This way, the device doesn’t need to wait long before the screen turns off.

•    Try not to leave your device charging for long periods of time. Once it’s the battery is full you should remove it from charging. Also schedule periodic full drainage of the battery. Once a month is a good schedule for you to completely empty your device battery, allowing it to regain the right run of cycles during the next charging.

•    Adjust brightness of your screen. If you don’t need it on the brightest setting you can save battery power with a dimmer screen.

•    Download apps only when your device is connected to the computer and iTunes. Downloading apps over wireless connectivity consumes more power.

•    Use car chargers and battery packs. If you are always on the go, keep your device running at the same pace as you with these battery extenders.

If you think you’ll be away from a charging station for a while, do not use your device unnecessarily. Browsing the net, playing games or taking photos all consumes battery power. After a couple of years or sooner for some people, depending on use, the battery life will be reduced and you’ll get less out of it in between charges. They don’t last forever. You can then take your iPhone, iPod, iPad in to a repair center and they will replace the battery for you.

The Best Method of Cleaning Your iPhone, iPod, iPad

The value of an iPhone, iPod, iPad is not only measured on its price tag but also on the amount of care you give it. Throughout this article I’ll refer to the iPhone, but the same information applies to the iPod and iPad as well. Since the iPhone is a much used device in your day to day living, it’s gets subjected to lots of different environments, some dirtier than others. To get longer life out of your iPhone and maintain it’s condition you must keep it clean.

You don’t actually need to be an expert or buy intricate gadgets or chemicals to clean your iPhone. You just need to be careful.

Before we get started we’re going to need these things:

• Your iPhone (of course)
• Microfiber or other similar lint-free cloth (usually one comes with the iPhone)
• Old or New (very) soft (and dry) tooth brush
• Cool water
• Safe and quiet spot/area (for the cleaning)

Follow these steps:

1. All cables must be disconnected. Don’t ever start while the iPhone is attached to a computer or any other device.
2. Turn it off. This can be done by depressing the “sleep/wake” button at the top of the device. In about 3 to 4 seconds a red slider will appear on the screen. Drag the red slider across the screen with your finger. If you are having difficulty with this procedure, refer to your instruction manual.
3. Moisten (not soak!) the corner of the soft microfiber cloth. It is preferable to use distilled water because it carries less impurities.(Never apply water or cleaning solutions directly to your iPhone)
4. Gently wipe the iPhone (with the dampen corner of the cloth).  Pay special attention to the touch screen and avoid wiping the ports. Wiping should be in an up-and-down motion.  Do not wipe in circles because this can leave smudges behind that are unsightly when you turn on your iPhone.
5. Use the dry portion of the cloth to remove any moisture that remains on your phone. Do this gently until you are satisfied with the cleaning results.
6. Use a very soft tooth brush to clean out the speaker and microphone cavities. There are two speaker and microphone cavities at the bottom of the iPhone and one at the top, which usually collect lots of dust and grime. These need to be gently cleaned with the very soft (dry) tooth brush. Don’t use a lot of pressure, as you don’t want to damage the dust shields.
7. Turn it on. When your iPhone is completely dry, it’s ready to switch on again. You can power it on by depressing the “sleep/wake” button. The “Apple” logo should then appear on the screen.
8. Congratulations! We’re done. Try to do this regularly to keep your iPhone looking at and performing at its best.

And to wrap it all up, let me give you some significant tips and cautions:

• You should purchase a case to house your iPhone in to reduce the amount of surface dirt that may come in contact with your iPhone. The housing also prevents oils from touches of your fingers which could leave prints on your iPhone. At the very least a clear touch screen protector, they are very cheap and available in most shopping centers and on eBay.
• Avoid cleaning your iPhone with liquid or aerosol cleansers containing alcohol, ammonia or other abrasive ingredients. These regular household and window cleaners can harm the touch screen.
• Be careful not to immerse your iPhone into water or use it in extremely wet places, such as the swimming pool. Moisture may cause damage the inner structure of the iPhone. You will need to take your device to an Iphone Repair Doctor specialist if it is exposed to water.
