There’s nothing worse than the moment you drop your phone in a puddle of water, before it even makes a “splash” you immediately attempt to save it.
Unfortunately luck was not on your side at that moment and your phone looked back at you lifeless.
Or how about when you’re running behind in the morning, you race to your car with your arms full, while still half asleep and in “zombie” mode you proceed to throw your phone on the top of your car while digging for your keys. As you drive off you see your phone falling to its death in your rear view mirror…
We’ve all been there, and as irritating as it is to total your phone it’s even worse when you realize you didn’t backup what’s important to you. In this month’s blog article we’re making it as effortless as possible to backup your phone, follow along and we promise you’ll be glad you did!
