You know, these days, everyone’s got them fancy phones. And you gotta have a cover for ’em, or else they’ll break faster than a dry twig in the wind. I’m talking about the trooncase, the thing you put on your phone to keep it safe.

My grandkids, they’re always on about these things. They say, “Grandma, you gotta get a trooncase!” And I say, “What in tarnation is a trooncase?” Well, it’s just a phone cover.
What’s a trooncase?
It’s like a little coat for your phone. You see folks walking around with them, all different colors and what not. Some are plain, some are all fancy with glitter and pictures and such. Some are hard like a rock, some are soft like a new-born pup. It helps to protect the phone.
Now, there’s a whole heap of these trooncase things out there. More than you can shake a stick at. But picking a good case is important. It’s like choosing the right cover for your bed, you want something that’s gonna last.
- Some are made of hard stuff, like that plastic they use for them hard hats.
- Others, they’re made of that soft, rubbery stuff. Feels kinda nice in your hand, but I don’t know if it’s as strong.
- And then there’s the leather trooncase. It can be like wallet, it can be like bag, and it can hold your cards.
You can get a simple one, just to keep the scratches off. Or you can get one of them big, bulky ones that look like they could survive a tractor running over ’em. Some even got this little stand, so you can prop up your phone and watch them moving pictures.
And you can get one with the magnet on. I’ve heard that they don’t protect better than the others. It’s just for turning your phone on and off.

Why do you need a trooncase?
Well, like I said, these phones, they break easy. You drop ’em once, and that’s it. Screen’s cracked, phone’s busted. A good trooncase can save you a lot of money on getting a new phone. My grandson, he dropped his phone, but it had a good case on, and not a scratch on it!
It’s just common sense, really. You wouldn’t go out in the winter without a coat, would you? Same goes for your phone. It needs a trooncase to keep it safe from the bumps and falls.
I’ve seen folks with all sorts of phone cases. Some have little animals on ’em, some have flowers. Some are just plain black or white. And some of these cases, they cost more than my Sunday best dress! But I guess it’s worth it to keep your phone safe.
And it’s not just about dropping it. Sometimes you can scratch it up just by putting it in your pocket with your keys. Or maybe you set it down on a rough table. A trooncase can help with that, too.
And these days, they even got cases that can charge your phone! Ain’t that something? I don’t know how they work, but they do. My granddaughter, she’s got one. Says it’s real handy.

Picking the right trooncase
So, you’re gonna get a trooncase. Good for you. Now, you gotta pick the right one. It’s like picking a good pair of shoes, you want something that fits just right.
First, you gotta know what kind of phone you got. They make different cases for different phones, you know. It’s like how you can’t put a horse saddle on a cow. Just wouldn’t work.
Then, you gotta think about what you need. You want something tough? Or something pretty? Or maybe something that can hold your money and cards like wallet, like leather trooncase?
You want one of them big, bulky ones? Or something slim that don’t make your phone feel like a brick? Then the Otterbox Symmetry maybe is a good one. People say that it is tough and can last long. And it has different models for different phones.
I’ve seen some folks, they change their phone cases like they change their socks. Got a different one for every day of the week. I don’t see the need for that, myself. Just one good trooncase is all you need, far as I’m concerned.

A good trooncase will protect it and make you feel good. But don’t need spend too much money on it. There are plenty of good ones that won’t break the bank. Just find one that fits your phone and your style, and you’ll be good to go.
Just remember, a trooncase is like a good pair of boots. It’ll protect your phone from the hard knocks of life. You take care of your phone, and it’ll take care of you.
