Teaching kids how to have a good relationship with technology is so important these days. Technology is starting to be used in schools at younger and younger ages. Tammy Amedin from US Cellular wants to help parents find budget friendly technology that will help their kids thrive in the new school year. The first item she’s showing off is the Otter Box Defender Pro phone case. It is a durable case that is great at protecting the phone. Speaking of protecting, she’s also showing off the Gadget Guard liquid screen protector. Her next item is the Ventev dual charging pad. Tammy says that this device is good to have because it’s a quick way to charge multiple devices. For college students, she has the sound core speaker that is completely waterproof. All these items can be bought for 20% off. You can visit US Cellular at 1516 West Lane Rd, Machesney Park, Il or you can check them out online at uscellular.com. Sponsored By US Cellular
