Dan Pražák Press Release: During the summer months, a large part of the population goes on vacation outside the Czech Republic. We have a few tips on how to get your mobile phone ready for this holiday in no time.
1) Protection of the device itself
Almost everyone who goes on vacation has a smartphone with them. The latter is most susceptible to falls and damage during the holidays. Whether it's constantly pulling it out of your pocket to take pictures or taking your phone to the beach. There is always a greater risk of falling and scratching than during normal operation. Therefore, it is necessary to think about its protection and to prevent the aforementioned problems.
The screen protector is probably the most important. It is the display that is the most susceptible part of the phone and at the same time the most expensive to repair. Slowly everywhere you can buy protective foils or glasses that help protect the device. But only some of them really help in the event of a fall. In general, it is always better to have tempered glass than foil to prevent falls. It can withstand more and is stronger and thus more durable.
It is ideal to turn your attention to the offer of proven manufacturers such as panzerglass. The Danish manufacturer has been on the market for many years and its glasses are among the most durable and at the same time very well designed. Your phone will still look great, and it will also be adequately protected. The cover is also worth mentioning for maximum protection PanzerGlass ClearCase, which perfectly complements the protective glass and maximizes its effect.

2) Accessories
During the holiday, there may be a few accessories that will help secure our smart companion. If we are going to a country where high temperatures await us, we also need to think about the equipment we have with us and rely on all the time. It is enough to leave the phone in direct sunlight for a few tens of minutes and it can already overheat. Glass phones, which are currently the most common nowadays, are particularly susceptible. The general recommendation is to take at least a fabric case or a bag for your phone where you can hide it from the sun and protect it from direct sunlight.
There are many other accessories on the market that are good to have with you on vacation. One of the most important is clearly the power bank. There is nothing worse than when paying by phone, checking in electronically at the airport, or simply taking pictures, to find out that the phone is dead and therefore not working. The purchase price of external batteries starts at a few hundred crowns, and you can also choose pieces with a really large capacity. It is definitely an accessory that every traveler should have with them.
During water fun, it often occurs to you to take your phone into the water and take a few photos. Especially near the sea, this idea is quite attractive. In this case, however, it is necessary to equip yourself with a special waterproof case. Today's phones are still not resistant to sea water, the device's connectors suffer in particular. This cover can be purchased both at most electrical retailers and often at the place of your vacation.
3) Useful applications
On vacation, it is also necessary to think not only about the device itself, with which we record our experiences, but also about the protection of the photos and videos taken. No one wants to lose their vacation memories, but few do. It is enough for the phone to fall into the sea and the material acquired on vacation can be irretrievably lost. At the same time, backup to the cloud, i.e. remote storage, is not enough for basic protection. For iPhones, the easiest way is via iCloud. It's quick, easy, and you're sure you won't lose anything. The applications themselves tend to be pre-installed directly on the phones. In addition, you can subsequently access the contents of the phone from a computer and other devices without having to drag and drop photos from the phone.
The internal part of the device should also be secured. Most transactions these days are carried out contactless and often over the phone. Internet banking is also accessed mainly from a mobile phone, moreover, on random Wi-Fi networks that are not verified and often not even secured in any way. It is therefore necessary to pay attention to this problem and potential risk. This is especially true in countries outside of Europe.
When traveling, it is also advisable to turn on location tracking via the Find iPhone function. There is always the risk of phone theft and loss, and this is doubly true during vacation. Therefore, it is easy to have this function turned on and, in the event of losing the phone, look at the location history of the device through your account.
In general, the easiest thing to do can be recommended and it doesn't cost a penny. This is to secure your phone with a basic password, PIN or at least a character. Even though many people still do not use this simple security during their daily routine, it should be a matter of course on vacation. It only takes a minute and can protect valuable data.
