Help with new phone

This is a good start.

 

Yep.... glass screen protector and a good case. Guaranteed you'll drop it more than once.

 

Those 2 items should be considered absolutely necessary. Maybe consider a magnetic quick charger vs. the plug in type

 

There are screen protectors that are guaranteed for life. The one that I have I got from Best Buy and they have replaced it at least a dozen times no questions asked. Otter box makes very durable cases. Both not cheap but worth it if ya ask me.

 

I know my charger port sure likes to get full of wood chips and dirt.

 

That's the only thing I've ever bought...that and delete about half the stupid apps that come loaded on them now.
What did you get, an Android, or Apple?

 

Does the phone have a memory expansion slot for a micro SD memory card? You may need to get one if so. (mine do because I buy the cheap phones which means not much onboard storage) I don't have much experience outside of Motorola Android based stuff as it's all I've ever used. I choose not to run a case or screen protector. I'm pretty good at keeping it out of harm's way most of the time. Also, sticking with a sub$200 budget allows for inexpensive replacement if I do damage one. No way would I want a $1000 + phone. I don't need that additional concern in my life. lol

I can say that additional charging cords are handy, especially the longer ones when there is not a plug conveniently located. Many folks like a holder in their vehicles. Mine usually stays in my pocket in the truck.

 

Otterbox is also lifetime warranty. Not advertised but they will replace if you contact them.

 

Good to know.

 

I wonder if they will replace the one the pup chewed up?

 

I really like the Otterbox cases; definitely worth the extra over the masses of cheap cases on the market. The last one I had was made in USA too.

 

I’ve had a couple replaced because the screen protectors were scratched. Also had one replaced because the rubber was like peeling. So probably.
