You take your smartphone everywhere, so why not to the beach? The waves, sun and sand are a challenge. Even if your phone is waterproof, salt water can cause damage, sand gets everywhere and phones can heat up quickly if left in the sun and heat.

Here are ten ways to keep your smartphone safe (and usable) in warm weather.

The most accessible protection is to keep your phone in a sealed plastic sandwich bag when you’re not using it. If you want something more permanent, consider a phone cooling case, like the Phoozy Apollo II series, which uses NASA spacesuit technology to absorb 95 percent of the sun’s rays without blocking Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. And it floats.

OtterBox makes reputable smartphone cases and many brands also offer waterproof cases.
