New Year, New Tech Habits: How to Keep Your Students' Devices Safe in 2025

A new year is the perfect time to hit the refresh button—not just for personal goals but also for the tools that help us thrive every day. For students, their devices are a critical part of their education, used for everything from research projects to online classes. However, after months of heavy use, these devices—and their protective cases—often show signs of wear and tear.

As the second half of the school year begins, it’s essential to ensure that devices are not only functioning properly but are also protected from the daily grind. At Higher Ground, we specialize in designing cases that go the distance, offering durability, cleanliness, and protection when students need it most.

Whether your student’s current case is falling apart or you’re looking to build better tech habits, now is the time to upgrade and safeguard their gear. Here’s how you can start 2025 off strong with Higher Ground.

The Winter Durability Test

Winter months are tough on devices. From icy commutes to unexpected slips in the snow, tech faces harsher conditions this season. That’s where our CleanShell Fabric comes in. Designed to combat germs, resist soiling, and weather the toughest conditions, CleanShell is an ultra-durable, easy-to-clean material that protects both your devices and your investment.

For ultimate winter protection, check out our CleanShell cases:

  • Capsule and Capsule Plus: Compact, rugged, and perfect for on-the-go protection.
  • Datakeeper, Datakeeper Cart, and Datakeeper Plus: Versatile cases designed to accommodate a range of device needs while maintaining a sleek and durable design.
  • Shuttle 3.0: Built for those who need lightweight, protective cases that withstand the daily grind.
  • Elevate: The ultimate all-in-one protection case for enhanced mobility and peace of mind.

Seeing Wear and Tear? It’s Time to Upgrade.

COVID-era cases may have done their job during remote learning, but many are now falling apart. From frayed edges to broken zippers, these cases can no longer provide the protection students need. Upgrading to Higher Ground’s ShockGUARD Collection can be the solution.

ShockGUARD cases address a common flaw in most shell designs by incorporating an inner shock-absorbing layer paired with a hard outer shell to defend against the inevitable bumps and drops. Check out these options:

Refresh Your Tech Habits

The start of a new year is the perfect time to build better tech habits, like:

  • Stay Organized: Declutter devices by removing old files and apps.
  • Prioritize Cleaning: CleanShell Fabric makes wiping down cases quick and easy, keeping devices germ-free.
  • Protect and Upgrade: A strong, durable case ensures devices stay safe no matter where students go.
