Protect Your Phone This Easter: Top Tips for Travellers

As the Easter holidays approach, it's time to pack your bags, plan your road trips, and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation. But while you’re busy making memories, don’t forget about the most essential travel companion: Your Phone!

At Westcoast Repairs, we know how frustrating it is to deal with phone mishaps while you’re away. So, we’ve put together some practical, easy-to-follow tips to keep your devices safe and sound during your Easter adventures.

1. Invest in a Durable Case

Travel means more chances of accidental drops. A heavy-duty phone case with shock absorption is a must-have. Whether you're at the beach, in the bush, or just exploring a new city, a rugged case offers peace of mind.

Pro Tip: Look for waterproof cases if your Easter plans include pools or beaches — and don’t forget, Westcoast Repairs stocks a full range of durable cases and tempered glass to keep your phone protected during all your adventures!

2. Don’t Forget a Screen Protector

Cracked screens are one of the most common repair jobs we see post-holiday. A tempered glass screen protector can absorb impacts and scratches, saving your display from damage.

3. Keep Your Phone Away from Water and Sand

Easter often means outdoor fun, but water and sand can be your phone’s worst enemies. Use a waterproof pouch or keep your device zipped safely in your bag while enjoying beach activities.

4. Watch Out for Overheating

Leaving your phone in direct sunlight or a hot car can cause it to overheat, which affects battery performance and internal components. Keep your device in a shaded spot whenever possible.

5. Backup Your Data Before You Travel

It’s always better to be safe than sorry. Back up your photos, contacts, and important files before you hit the road. Cloud services like Google Drive or iCloud can save you from losing precious memories.

6. Carry a Power Bank

Running out of battery while sightseeing? No thanks! Always carry a fully charged power bank to keep your phone alive throughout your travels.

7. Be Wary of Public Wi-Fi

Avoid logging into sensitive accounts on public networks. If you need to use Wi-Fi, consider a VPN for safer browsing.
