Tomorrow is Holi and if you are ready to go out and enjoy the festival of colors with your friends, it is better that you get your phone ready in advance to be safe. Ahead of the festival, here are some tips that you can follow to keep your smartphone and other gadgets safe on Holi.
Note: Color and water can be harmful to gadgets and the best way to keep your phone and wearables safe is to leave them at home. However, if you want to take your device with you, check the tips below.
waterproof pouch
The little waterproof plastic pouches that people use to keep their phones safe during rains are very cheap and can be the best way to keep your phone safe outside during Holi. You can buy these online or at your local mobile store and zip the bag to keep it safe by simply placing your phone inside it.

Affordable Cases, Screen Protectors & Camera Lens Protectors
If you want to preserve the beauty and camera capabilities of your phone, you have to protect it from outside as well. The cheap transparent TPU case that wraps around the phone is easy to take off. You can also use a screen protector and camera lens cover to protect these important parts of the phone from colors that can be difficult to take off later. We recommend you to get a slightly expensive screen protector.
phone cleaning
If your smartphone gets colored in spite of precautions, then you have to be careful while cleaning it. If your phone has the correct IP certification and is water resistant, you can just give it a splash or two and wipe off the colors with a cloth. However, if it isn’t, use a damp cloth to wipe down your phone, but stay away from open areas like ports, the edges of the removable back panel, and the speaker grille or microphone.

dust plug
The dust plugs that cover open ports on your smartphone aren’t exactly designed to protect it from water damage, but it’s still better than leaving the port completely open. You can easily find dust plugs for USB-C port and 3.5mm port online and these can be a great addition to secure your phone on Holi.
Earbuds and Smartwatch
– If you also want to take your earbuds with you, consider keeping them in a case or plastic bag as well. Note that even with most earbuds that are IP certified and water resistant, there are only buds that are water resistant, not the case. This is especially seen on the budget TWS earbuds. Therefore, you should keep the case away from water as much as possible. Also, the chances of getting lost during Holi celebrations are very high, so we suggest leaving them at home.
Smartwatches that are IP certified are relatively safe during Holi. However, if you want to be extra careful, popular smartwatches also have screen protectors available that can protect you from blurring. We would recommend that you get a screen guard for Apple Watch especially if you plan to wear it during Holi celebrations. If your smartwatch isn’t water resistant, you really should leave it at home to avoid damage.
