I cannot remove my Ted Baker case, help!

“Help, I cannot remove my Ted Baker case!”

Does this sound like you? If so, there’s no need to feel blue. It just means that your Ted Baker case is doing the job it is designed for: keeping your phone or tablet truly protected in style.

Cannot remove Ted Baker case

Whether you have a Ted Baker iPhone case or a cover for a different device altogether, the chances are that your hard shell case is so snug that it doesn’t want to part ways from the phone it’s protecting. While this means that your phone is kept safe from harm, you may need to remove your Ted Baker case from time to time.

So, if your Ted Baker case is misbehaving and you need it to be separated from your gadget, then follow these simple steps.

Cannot Remove Ted Baker Case – Instructions
First, we’d recommend using your fingers to loosen one of the top corners. You’ll probably find that it comes up quite easily. Next, do the same with the opposite top corner.

The top of the case should be up now. From here you can carefully pull the rest of the Ted Baker iPhone case up until it eases off.

That’s that.

Just remember, the your Ted Baker case can’t bear to be removed from your phone because it is so dedicated in its effort to keep it totally protected from scratches and those inevitable drops.

How to survive a zombie attack

With Halloween approaching, you may find that you’re at the centre of a zombie attack and don’t know what to do. Put down that hand-made slingshot, there’s no need for violence when you live in a world full of useful smartphone accessories and apps. Whether you have an Android or Apple phone/tablet, you can make sure you’re fully prepared in case of the event that we are taken over by the undead with the following Proporta survival kit.

Zombies - aaah!

Sports Armband
You’ll need to be fit as a fiddle if you’re going to be running away from horrid monsters, so the Sports Armband for iPhone and other smartphones will help you in all your training. We suggest listening to Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ to get you in the mood while running.

TurboCharger 7000 External Battery
In times of impending doom, there’s nothing worse than running out of battery juice. Make sure you can take advantage of all your handy apps like the compass, maps and Facebook so you can update on the run “I’m being chased by Zombies… Help!” The TurboCharger 7000 can charge your phone up several times and is lightweight enough to carry in your bag.

BeachBuoy Waterproof Case
Don’t let water or blood spatter slow you down in your escape. With the BeachBuoy waterproof case, your phone is kept dry and clean and remains in use in up to 5 metres of water.

Hard Shell Smartphone Cases and Screen Protectors
Keep your smartphone protected from the inevitable drops, knocks and monster grabs you’ll face. The Proporta hard shell iPhone 5 covers are tough and lightweight, while the iPhone 5 screen protectors make sure the screen is safe.

Elephant Camouflage Kit – £ 1,175,000.00 (bargain!)
Lastly, with our Elephant Camouflage Kit, this is the closest you’ll get to becoming invisible. Make sure you stay out of sight and blend in, and hope that zombies have a terrible sense of smell.
