Like cars and homes before them, mobile devices have become an integral part of our lives, something we all need to stay current on the days events or respond to emails while on the road. But what can you do to protect them in case your case can’t protect them from threats external or otherwise?

These days, it seems like pretty much everyone you know has got a mobile phone tucked away somewhere on their person.
