When you can't decide, try this! Recommended smartphone cases and how to choose them
There are many smartphone cases with different materials and functions, so it is often difficult to choose one. Many people want to protect their smartphones while also being particular about the design.
In this article, we will introduce the types and materials of smartphone cases, as well as how to choose them. In addition, we will also introduce recommended smartphone cases, so please refer to them.
Types of smartphone cases
What types of smartphone cases are there?
First, we will explain the three most common types of smartphone cases: "back cover type," "folio type," and "bumper type."
Back cover type
The back cover type is a standard type of smartphone case with the back covered.
It is characterized by its ease of use, which allows you to touch the LCD screen immediately, and is recommended for those who prefer a simple design.
Some products have pockets for storing cards and handles that make it easier to hold your smartphone steadily, so you can choose according to your purpose and preferences.
Notebook type
Notebook type is a type of smartphone case that folds in half like a notebook and covers the front and back. Compared to other types, it gives you the peace of mind that your smartphone will be well protected.
There are many functional products with notebook type smartphone cases, such as plenty of pockets for storing cards and straps.
It is recommended for people who want to choose a smartphone case with functionality in mind.
Bumper type
Bumper type is a frame-like type of smartphone case that covers only the sides. You can use it without compromising the original design of the iPhone.
Another advantage is that the back is open, so it is breathable and does not easily trap heat.
However, since the front and back are not protected, you should be aware that there is a high risk of damage if dropped.
Materials used in smartphone cases
The appearance, feel, and durability of smartphone cases vary greatly depending on the material.
Let's take a look at the main materials used in smartphone cases and their features.
Leather
Leather smartphone cases have a more luxurious feel than other materials, and give off a refined and stylish impression. They are also characterized by their pleasant feel and non-slip nature.
Genuine leather, which becomes more comfortable in your hand the more you use it, is durable and can be used for a long time. On the other hand, there are also "synthetic leather" smartphone cases that artificially reproduce the texture of real leather.
Synthetic leather is cheaper than real leather, but its durability is low, so it is prone to scratches and tears.
Polycarbonate (hard case)
Polycarbonate is a type of plastic, and polycarbonate smartphone cases are also called hard cases.
It is hard and sturdy, so it will protect your smartphone well.
However, there is a risk that it may crack or break when it is subjected to impact, so there is a risk that your iPhone will be damaged when dropped.
Silicone (soft case)
Soft and elastic silicone smartphone cases are also called soft cases. They are effective at protecting the smartphone when it is dropped because they easily absorb shock.
However, they also have the characteristic of being easily charged with static electricity, so if you put them in your pocket or bag, they will easily collect dust, which can be considered a disadvantage.
Points to consider when choosing a smartphone case
There are a few points to consider when choosing a smartphone case.
Check out the points below to choose the smartphone case that's right for you.
Check if it is compatible with your model
When choosing a smartphone case, first check whether it is compatible with your model.
In particular, iPhones have different sizes and camera positions for each model, so if you buy the wrong smartphone case, you won't be able to use it.
We recommend brands that have a wide variety of smartphone cases and compatible models.
Whether it has the functions you want
Whether it has the functions you want is also an important point when choosing a smartphone case. Some smartphone cases have excellent functionality, such as card pockets and strap holes.
For example, if you mainly use cashless payments, we recommend a case with a pocket for storing cards.
If you want to carry it on your shoulder, a smartphone case that can be attached to a smartphone shoulder strap is convenient.
Can wireless charging be used?
If you want to use wireless charging, make sure your smartphone case is compatible with wireless charging.
Please note that wireless charging may not be possible depending on the material and thickness of the case.
