Holi is right around the corner and we're all gearing up for a full day of colour and fun. Holi characterizes fun loving, care-free people celebrating the festival of colours. Like every other festival, Holi has its own charm and way of celebrating it. Every year there are numerous cases of phones getting permanent colour marks or worse, being martyred due to water damage. While you play during the festival, one single splash of water may seriously damage your smartphone and make your celebrations bitter. So we have very carefully listed down some methods where you can save your smartphone from getting wet. 1. Ziplock Pouch: © YouTube These pouches are very easily available and you'll find them everywhere, right from your office to the kitchen. In fact, these pouches are very famous in Mumbai during the rainy season. The sizes are also perfectly altered to fit a mobile phone in recent times. Just buy one, put your phone in it and enjoy Holi. In case you are unable to find one, you can use any type of polythene to wrap around your phone. Thin plastics will even let you use the touchscreen display without any problems. 2. Turn a Balloon into a Mobile Skin: © YouTube You may have planned to hit your friends with water balloons but you can also use one of those balloons as a safety wrap for your smartphone. All you have to do is inflate the balloon and put your phone in it with the screen facing down. Now start deflating the balloon slowly and you will see your phone wrapped in a rubber skin once the air inside the balloon is fully released. 3. Use a Spare Phone: © YouTube This one is the simplest yet one of the most difficult ways to save your phone. While it provides complete safety to your regular phone, you must be ready in your hearts to sacrifice your spare phone. We all have an old phone lying somewhere which hasn't seen the light of day for months or even years. It's about time you show your previous BFF some love as well! 4. An Inexpensive Screen Guard: © YouTube There are many kinds of covers available in the market, but the best ones are those that don't burn a hole in your pocket. Before you leave to drown yourself in colours, you should get your phone's rear and front end covered to ensure your phone's safety. 5. Leave your phone behind! This honestly, is the best solution. Enjoy Holi as much as you can and run away from that smart bugger for a day or at least a few hours! It's a holiday after all! We all should stay disconnected periodically and remind ourselves how life was a decade ago without all the stories and snaps!
