Abstract
A method and system for determining mobile phone strain is provided. The method includes the steps of determining if strain on a mobile phone housing and/or strain on a printed circuit board (PCB) within the mobile phone exceed a predetermined value. If the strain(s) values exceed the predetermined value an alarm may be sounded and the strain values may be stored in memory for later retrieval and/or analysis.
