How Dropping My Phone Led to Thoughts on My Favorite Color (SoLSC 20/31) #sol15

I dropped my phone this morning. This is not something that occurs often, but it happens often enough. I have never had major damage (knock on wood) from dropping my phone, but that is mostly because I always get a case the day I get a new phone. I was very thankful for the case I chose this morning.

Now, just like buying a new car, what’s most important to me after functionality is the color. My husband always lovingly rolls his eyes at this. But, here’s the thing, it’s something I’m looking at ALL the time. How many times a day do you pick up your phone, or see it laying somewhere? Too many to count, right? So it matters.

And, yes, my case highlight color matches my lesson planbook/calendar for this year.
I was apparently in an aqua mood in August!

This is my case. It’s my favorite of all the ones I’ve had over the years. I’m big on a no-slip grip (see, functionality first!), as I can be klutzy when holding it in my hand, so I was happy to find this one. It’s also sturdy, as evidenced by the scratches from the number of times it’s been dropped. But, most importantly, it has my favorite color.



Turquoise, auqa, teal…that whole color family encompasses my favorite color. Maybe it’s related to my birthday being in December and having turquoise as my birthstone. Maybe it’s related to all of the Southwestern Native American jewelry my grandmother wore while living in Arizona, which I have fond memories of seeing when I was a kid. Maybe it’s because it reminds me of the ocean as I’m settled on a beach in the Caribbean. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t really matter, I’m just happy that I was able to find a case that fit my needs…and highlighted my favorite color.
