How do you protect your cell phone?

Mobile phones are a very important means of communication and often fairly expensive. Therefore, take care of it by following these steps.
1. Designate a safe place to keep and store your phone when not in use. For example, on a desk, bookshelf, or in a cabinet would be fine. Do not keep your phone stored in a purse or other closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off. Charging a mobile phone in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Li-ion batteries (typical for most phones) give off heat when charged and when discharging.
2. Take your phone with you whenever possible. Never let your phone leave your sight. Avoid lending your phone to others, even if done under your supervision, as accidents can and will happen once in a while.
3. Keep your phone dry. Don't talk on your cell phone while it's raining, do not eat or drink near the phone, and avoid carrying it near open water.
4. Clean your phone regularly. Use dry tissue paper or alcohol wipes to clean the phone's exterior surfaces. Do not use water, baby wipes, or other cleaners that may inadvertently add moisture to your phone.
5. Recharge your cell phone on a regular schedule. Some phones will last more than a week or more on a single charge (when not in use), while others may need to be charged every day or every other day. If you spend too much time talking on your phone, you can quickly use up your battery's charge.

I'll tell you how to protect a mobile phone from being stolen.
With mobiles or cell phones becoming fancier, more popular, and more expensive, they are increasingly liable to theft. Even then, many thieves are more interested in accessing your wireless service [1] and potentially, stealing your identity. Unless you want to deal with all the hassles of getting a new phone (or paying for unauthorized charges on your bill) you'd do well to find out how to ensure that your phone finds its way back to you or at least, how you can make it difficult for thieves to get anything out of it.
1. Keep details. Make a record of all your phone information and keep this in a safe place. Include the following elements in the information:
2. Add a security mark. Use an ultra violet pen to print your post code and house number onto both your mobile handset and battery. This makes it easily identifiable as your property if lost or stolen. It would also be good if you write your alternate contact number or email id on your phone. This would help the finder of your handset to contact you if he or she intents to return it. The ultra-violet pen marking will wear off every couple of months, so reapply it when you feel necessary.
3. Register your phone with your network operator. If your phone is stolen, report the loss to them immediately. Using your IMEI number, they may be able to block your hand set and account details. Some wireless carriers are willing to do this, and some aren't. If done, this will prevent anyone from using the phone across any network, even if the SIM card is changed.

1. Beware of your phone's history of dialed numbers
On all cell phones you have access to the list of recently dialed numbers and received calls. These numbers may contain numbers you typed such as credit card numbers.
It is important to clean up such information after making a private call
2. Keep contact list information simple
Do not keep your family members addresses on your cell phone.
If your cell phone is stolen, the thief will have a lot of information about you.
Keep your contact list simple and stripped of important information..
3. Remove important information from your agenda
Most cell phones can also act as an electronic agenda.
Anyone who gets a hold of your phone will know where you will be and when.
If you are concerned about your privacy, keep it basic.

I can't protect my cell phone well.
I always drop in it on the floor.
So I want to protect my cell phone clean.

Have your phone number disabled.
In addition to reporting your phone lost or stolen,
you should also disable your phone number
(not account) so that no further charges can be applied.
This is in case the thief figures out
how to access your account through another hand set,
or in case the carrier is unwilling
to block the handset.

At first, I just wanna tell that I just bought a cell phone last month by myself.
The store gave me a film for free only!
So I need to buy some case to cover it up.
I bought a starbuck coffee case from the internet.
Because in Mahasarakham don't have any case for my Nokia Lumia 520.

The steps you should follow to protect your mobile include: Mobile antivirus: You can download an antivirus application directly in your smartphone. Branded mobiles: make sure that you always choose a mobile from a recognized brand, which come with IMEI number.
Scan your mobile: Once you download an antivirus application in your phone, remember to scan your mobile often to search for any virus. Turn off Bluetooth: Bluetooth is another way through which unknown applications or virus can make way into your mobile, so when in unknown places, it is better to turn the Bluetooth function off. The numbers of mobile malware and worms are constantly on the rise, as virus writers creates new ways of attacking software run by mobile phones.

Mobile phones are valuable, both to you and potential thieves, so take care when using them in public. Avoid having them on display, or talking on them in busy areas where they can be easily snatched.

Top Ways to Protect Your Smartphone from Damage.
Scratches, cracks and dents are common on smartphones that have been well used for some time, leaving otherwise well-designed and good-looking handsets appearing a bit tired and old. So what are the best ways to avoid this kind of everyday damage and keep your device in box-fresh, tip-top condition? Here we take a look at the best ways to protect your smartphone from the rigors of everyday use. While many handsets now have displays covered with Gorilla Glass or other protective materials, it can be worth getting that extra layer on top just to make sure your device remains free of scratches. Some screen protectors can also help to reduce reflections, improving the visual performance of the device. Getting a tiny scratch on your screen can have a really detrimental effect on how good your device feels to use, obscuring visual elements and making text difficult to read. While there are certainly issues with air bubbles getting caught under screen protectors, they do serve a purpose and protect your phone well. In the same way that a screen protector gives your phone that added element of defense against damage, a case can help to avoid scratches and dents from everyday use. You may not want to obscure the brilliant form factor of your latest high-end smartphone but damaging its shell will make it look a lot worse than any case ever could.

It's always a good idea to write down the make, model and unique identification number (IMEI number) of your handset. This can be found behind the battery, or by dialling '*#06#' on your handset.
Keep these details in a safe place and completely separate from your phone, as you'll need to give them to your service provider if your phone is lost or stolen.
Whatever model of phone you have, your handset has in-built security features that you can use to protect it. If you don't know how to use them, take a look at the instruction manual.
For example, you can set up a PIN number that you have to key in before you make a call. This stops anyone else using your phone and protects your personal details.

Cell phone is already become one part of my body. For me cell phone is very important. I have to bring wherever I go. So I have to protect them as much as I can. They are a number of the way to protect our cell phone such as..............

1.Don't abuse the phone. You've invested good money in your phone, so you expect it to last a long time. The thing is, even though your cell phone is of high quality, there is still a chance that it will break apart and stop working, especially if you don’t take good care of it. Because of this, it is imperative that you take the necessary precautions to ensure that your phone is kept in tiptop condition. Here are the things that you need to know about taking care of your cell phone.

2.Avoid moisture and heat. Do not subject your phone to extreme temperature changes, and particularly to strong heat. Avoid placing it near heat sources like the stove, furnace, chimney, and under the sun. Don’t leave it out in the cold, either. Avoid getting it near a source of moisture. All forms of liquids should be kept a good distance away from your phone. Do not drink or eat while using your phone to avoid accidental spillage. Don’t put your phone near any body of water, like the sea or swimming pool. Cell phones can be damaged even by slight dampness. If ever your phone becomes wet, save it by turning it off, removing the parts like SIM card and battery, and by drying the mechanisms using a clean absorbent towel. Always have a waterproof bag handy so that you can slip your phone inside it in case it rains.

3. Clean it properly. Whatever you do, never use a spray bottle to clean your phone. You should, instead, use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and touch it lightly over the keypad. Remember to use this only on the exterior part of the phone and never inside. Protect it from theft

   

  
That’s a very good question. I have no protection for my mobile phone, not even the sim -cards are coded for protection. I know that you can block phones if somebody steal the phone and use another sim-card. Tracking apps are available to buy in shop or online, such as McAfee which can track the phone physically and send message by internet to you e-mail.
