So here's my cellphone protection plan ... lol  Smiley Tongue

 

I'll save myself a monthly fee or expecting a credit card to not nerf those benefits or having to keep my billing on it to maintain coverage.

 

Otter Box

*I can't tell you how many times I have had minor drops with my phone and have never broken one yet.  Replaced a few screen protectors but everytime I got a phone back out of my Otterbox case, it looked brand new.

Good for protection against damage, not so good against theft!


 

 

Have you ever tried running with Otter box? 

 

I didn't think so ....


Why run?   People leave their phone+otterbox on the cafe table as they leave to get something/use the facilities/sell drugs etc.    And then, your honor, it just slipped into my wide pockets at which point I remembered I had an appointment and WALKED away.     Yes, it does happen a lot.....

Hmmmm ... nope.

I suppose it depends on what you're wearing.

Some running gear has zip pockets.

Or <gasp> ... go phoneless for 30 minutes.  Smiley Surprised

If you dare ...

Guess it's good I outgrew running  ... lol Smiley Tongue

Too hard on your knees when you get older.  Smiley Wink

I never had cell phone protection outside a credit card benefit. I don't even have a screen protector. I'm just extremely careful with my phone.
