PROTECTED TECH:
Murphy says tech gadgets are more popular than ever, but its important to keep it protected, Opening up a tech gift is a big YAY for most people, but its an even bigger NAY, if you drop it, crack it, or even break it.
OtterBox is the best option, these protective cases are ultra-sleek, pocket-friendly, built rigid with a silky soft-touch finish that looks and feels good, It protects your tech, but still looks cool, adds Murphy, continuing, I love the OtterBox 3-in-1 Charging Station and OtterBox MagSafe Wallet. These have built in magnets so you can seamlessly use MagSafe accessories.
