1. Install an app that will let you remotely locate, lock and wipe your device.
2. Consider some kind of external customization (like using a case, or engraving your name) that will allow you to easily recognize your handset among other lost/stolen phones.
3. Keep a really close eye on your smartphone when you're traveling... especially if you're using charging stations or around conveyor belts.
4. Purchase a mobile gadget insurance policy in order to ensure that you'll get a replacement phone overnight, should you lose your handset. You can insure your phone with Protect Your Bubble not only against loss and theft, but also liquid damage, mechanical malfunctioning or a cracked screen. This comprehensive coverage will cost you only $7.99 a month, and can be set up in just a few minutes.
Well, folks, let us hear your feedback - are you paranoid about the safety of your smartphone?

I use SeekDroid for Android OS. Best investment ever. It can force GPS on and track, remote lock & wipe, alarm phone with message and much much more.

I'm with you there. My phone never leaves my side. Even at work, if I'm going to the bathroom, my phone comes with me. At this point it's a habit, but I've not once lost a phone my entire life.

Why not peopl do steel them. Accidents happen. Your kinda weird about this. It's can be easy to break or lose no matter how carefully you are.
