Goal: Suggest preventive control measures that decrease the risk of mobile phone damage, sustained damage, and mobile phone repair costs in the event of an incident.

Objective: Recommend good practices and products according to effectiveness ranking below.

Eliminate risk or hazard by design,
1. The risk of dropping your phone, and sustaining damage, by keeping your phone in your pocket in your pocket or bag while moving.
2. The risk of water damage by keeping your phone away from water and drinks.

Substitute to avoid risk or hazard,
3. Wired earphones for wireless earphones to tangled wires pulling your phone out of your hand.

Engineer to isolate or guard against risk or hazard,
4. Clip your phone to a wrist or neck lanyard to guard against a phone that slipped from your grip. Use a lanyard backing slip or water pouch if your phone has no lanyard hole. Use up to 3 lanyards to disperse the weight and triply secure the phone.
5. Use an umbrella or water pouch to guard against rain.

Administrate training and awareness of risk or hazard, and
6. Training people to avoid mobile phone damage and repair costs because of these control measures.

Protective products to mitigate the damage.
7. Use protective tempered glass screen protectors, silicone/TPU polymer bumper skin guards, and vertical flip cases to decrease the damage of a dropped phone.

    umm what?

    if you are looking for a mobile phone case maybe ad the brand and model of the phone at least.

      Describing the product is more helpful because you can add your phone model to the search words easily.

    Looks like homework to me.

        Sorry but this can't be serious, unless these are for old people who have never owned a phone or any technology before.

          On the topic of 'innovation' and R&D, what is the most convenient, efficient, cost efficient, comfortable, safe, energy efficient, classy/trendy, and secure way to hold a spoon?

          I ponder all the time :/

      Yeah, is this like some sort of assignment?

        It's training awareness and decreasing mobile repair phone costs, as previously mentioned. Please keep replies and comments constructive and contributive to save scrolling, thanks.

          Who is being made aware of training? Is this an assignment in training awareness and decreasing mobile repair phone costs? Or are you doing it for your own self learning? The language you've used to presented your question is not clear, despite what you might think, and it is confusing people. That's why you haven't gotten many serious replies. Do you always speak like this? Is English your second language? Are you using Google translate?

        • [Deactivated] on 16/04/2016 - 09:11

          @Entropist: none of your other posts are written like this. Are you saying that this is a thread where we can all share our knowledge, so that we can all benefit, rather than a problem that you specifically have?

          @mnermner: People that read mobile phone damage control measure recommendations; to decrease both risk or phone damage, sustained damage, and consequently mobile repair costs; are trained; because practices and products are put in place.

          If the language used to present is unclear, demonstrate which language is confusing and misleading; otherwise inattention to detail, willful disregard to offer helpful thought and recommendations, contempt to dehumanise by ridicule fallacy; are demonstrated by replies devoid of seriousness.

          @mnermner: Please define 'written like this' and explain the intention behind the reference to writing in point format?

          OzB is a discussion forum to share our knowledge so we all benefit. Recommended practices and products to decrease risk of phone damage, sustained damage, and consequently mobile repair costs benefit mobile phone users.

  • lovepeoplenotmoney on 15/04/2016 - 09:41

    For example,

    Eliminate:
    1. The risk of dropping your phone, and sustaining damage, by keeping your phone in your pocket in your pocket or bag while moving.
    2. The risk of water damage by keeping your phone away from water and drinks.

    Substitute:
    3. Wired earphones for wireless earphones to tangled wires pulling your phone out of your hand.

    Engineer:
    4. Clip your phone to a wrist or neck lanyard to guard against a phone that slipped from your grip. Use a lanyard backing slip if your phone has no lanyard hole.
    5. Use an umbrella to guard against rain.

    Administrate:
    6. Training people to avoid mobile phone damage and repair costs because of these control measures.

    Protection:
    7. Use protective tempered glass covers, polymer films, bumper guards, and vertical flip cases to decrease the damage of a dropped phone.

    Eliminate:
    1. Eliminate risk of dropping/scratching it by wrapping in layers of bubble wrap.
    2. Risk of water damage by using common sense.

    Substitute
    3. Facebook and cat videos with videos/tips/tutorials on how to care for a smartphone- what you can and cant/shouldn't do.

    Engineer
    4. Wrap your phone with another layer of bubble wrap for a better softer grip, or around your wrist if you like so you don't lose it or drop it.
    5. Buy a mini umbrella (cocktail ones should be okay) to guard against rain and spit from other people.

    Protection
    6. Add another layer of bubble wrap, just incase you popped a couple. All in one protective screen cover and guard.

    Looks like some ai just got sentient and ordered an iPhone, but is now worried about durability. I got this:
    Execute Dick Smith extended warranty
    If fail goto platinum card purchase protection
    Else replacement = supermarket android

      Recommendation of measures to control risk of hazards actually.

      • Elppa8 on 15/04/2016 - 15:11

        Yep, Health and Safety hierarchy of control involves the following steps:

        Elimination – removes the cause of danger completely.
        Substitution – controls the hazard by replacing it with a less risky way to achieve the same outcome.
        Isolation – separates the hazard from the people at risk by isolating it.
        Engineering – using engineering controls, i.e. making physical changes, to lessen any remaining risk, e.g. redesign a machine by adding safeguards.
        Administration – use administrative controls to lessen the risk, e.g. install signs, rotate jobs.
        Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – require your employees to wear PPE, e.g. provide gloves, earplugs, goggles, iridescent vests.

    This sounds like an idiot post.. Why do you seem to be trying to use unnecessarily big and complicated words to describe such a simple topic?

    Why not just ask what everyone does to take care/protect their phones from damage?

    Everything you've said has it's pros and cons - for eg cost vs benefit vs risk.

    If you're so scared of damaging a phone, leave it in the box in your cupboard and don't use it.. then pray that there's no earthquakes.

      Ignore your minds conscious calling to cause rapid acceleration of your mobile telecommunication device towards the cranial vicinity of the verbally loud and uncouth gentleman, who supports an opposing local sports team, and deliberately antagonises your self and your better half with derisive comments regarding your own teams inability to accumulate a greater number of points to achieve victory.

    Eliminate the risk of dropping your phone by leaving it on the floor where it can't fall any further. Don't pick it up. Don't take it with you when you leave the house. Pretend that it is glued to the floor. If you have glue, glue it to the floor.

    • lovepeoplenotmoney on 17/04/2016 - 11:32

      Leaving or gluing your phone on the floor creates more of a problem by increasing susceptibility of objects falling on the phone on the floor.
