Make your own SmartCover for any Smart device

Make your own SmartCover for any Smart device

You must have heard about the SmartCover accessory that protects the screen of your Smart device. You can buy it and place it on the screen yourself in a few steps and thus protect it from shocks, scratches...and also when you cover the screen, it turns off automatically.

Now, if you don't have the money to buy a SmartCover, you can make one yourself! It will not be 100% identical and functional as the purchased ones, but it will serve.

In fact, it is an application whose task is to put the phone in "sleep mode" when the screen is folded and to wake it up when the screen is revealed. So you can make a "cover" to cover the screen and thus protect it from scratches and bumps, and the application will automatically lock it.

In the video clip below you can see how the application works, as well as some handmade Covers.

You can download the application from the Google Play Store for $1.31. If you don't have money, you can also find .apk files on Google that are free.

How to find and install .apk files.

Sony Xperia Z5 Dual Sim review [video + images]

The Xperia Z5 is another great flagship model from the Z family of devices that Sony launched in September this year, about a month ago. The case design is great .
