All mobile phones, including the iPhone, are high-tech pieces of equipment that need to be protected to ensure that they remain in pristine working condition. Below are some quick tips to help keep your iPhone protected.

* Don't place the iPhone in a bag or purse if you are prone to jostling the bag or dropping it on hard surfaces
* Use a soft cloth or electronic screen wipe to clean your touch screen
* Avoid talking and walking, or talking and driving while on your iPhone
* Purchase a hard cover that will absorb the shock of a fall

Regardless of how careful you are, your iPhone can still be damaged. To have another layer of protection you should purchase iPhone insurance. For as little as £5.99 a month, the iPhone insurance will cover you for damage or theft and the coverage will follow you all over the world for up to 60 days.
