My husband works that type of job and he uses Spigen screen protectors on his phone (not iPhone, but works just the same)! The case he uses is from Casetify. Expensive, I know. But his phone survives lol

That’s one heck of a present! She’s going to love it!

I dropped an old iPhone of mine in the sink once; it didn’t get submerged, but it got wet (and got some toothpaste on it). I just wiped it off with a wipe and set it in front of a little fan with the lightning port facing the fan. I didn’t touch it for probably 3 hours.

I’ve purchased Apple Care after I cracked the screen on my iPhone 13 Mini one time and there was no issue. I had only had the phone for like 2 days so I was still within the timeframe to set it up.
