Johannesburg - We spend thousands on our gadgets, but won't spend a few hundred on protecting them.

Arthur Goldstuck highlights some of the best ways to extend the life a smartphone, tablet or laptop with a quality cover, sleeve or bag.

He said very few high-end phones last even a year without protection. "That's why I always rave about my cover for my Galaxy S4, which is now 15 months old and still as good as new, thanks to this very stylish cover..."

"This is a trend we're beginning to see in protection of devices," he said. "There's now a South African brand called FLD, which makes stylish covers for anything from an iPad mini ... through to a Macbook Air..."

He interviews Jonathan Feldman, co-founder of FLD.
