What are the advantages and disadvantages of flip-type smartphone cases? Recommended products are also introduced
Among the various types of smartphone cases, flip-type smartphone cases are popular due to their high functionality and wide range of designs.
The main advantages of using a flip-type smartphone case are that it can protect the screen well and can store a wide variety of cards. On the other hand, there are also disadvantages such as being bulky and difficult to operate with one hand.
In this article, we will explain in detail the advantages and disadvantages of flip-type smartphone cases, and also introduce some recommended flip-type smartphone cases.
A notebook-style smartphone case is one that covers the front and back
A notebook-style smartphone case is a type of case that folds in half like a notebook and covers the front and back of a smartphone. Unlike back-cover type smartphone cases, its main feature is that it also protects the screen.
In addition, there are many notebook-style smartphone cases that are highly functional, such as having plenty of pockets and a stand function, and they tend to be chosen by people who value usability. Another reason for their popularity is the wide variety of designs available.
Flip-style smartphone cases are popular with many people because they can be selected with an emphasis on both functionality and design.
Benefits of using a notebook-style smartphone case
Flip-type smartphone cases have many convenient features when used.
Here, we will take a closer look at the benefits of using a flip-type smartphone case.
Protects the entire smartphone
One of the advantages of a flip-type smartphone case is that it protects the entire smartphone.
A back cover type smartphone case can protect the back and sides, but the screen is exposed.
On the other hand, a notebook-style smartphone case has the advantage that the lid covers the screen, so it can protect the entire smartphone and reduce damage when dropped.
People who are worried about the screen cracking when they drop their smartphone can use a notebook-style smartphone case with peace of mind.
Can store a variety of cards
Many notebook-style smartphone cases have pockets for storing credit cards, transportation IC cards, and business cards.
Especially for people who mainly use cashless payment, being able to carry a smartphone and cards together is a big advantage.
It is also suitable for people who want to reduce their luggage because you can shop without carrying a wallet.
Helpful for protecting privacy
Flip-type smartphone cases are also useful in terms of protecting privacy. For example, when you place your smartphone on a desk at a cafe or at work, if you close the cover, the screen is not visible, so you don't have to worry about notifications and messages being seen by others.
Another benefit is that if you stand the cover up when using your smartphone, it blocks the view from the side, making it easier to operate without worrying about others seeing you.
Replaces a smartphone stand
With a flip-type smartphone case that has a stand function, you can prop up your smartphone sideways without using a smartphone stand.
If you often watch videos with your smartphone in landscape orientation, it will be convenient to have a stand function.
Wide range of designs and a wide selection to choose from
Flip-type smartphone cases have a wide range of designs, so you can choose your favorite smartphone case from a wide range of options.
Back-type smartphone cases tend to have simple designs, but flip-type smartphone cases tend to have more fashionable designs.
Because smartphone cases have a larger surface area, many of them have richer patterns and decorative designs, so it's easier to find a case that suits your style.
Disadvantages of using a notebook-type smartphone case
Although flip-type smartphone cases have many advantages, they also have disadvantages.
Let's take a look at the disadvantages as well.
Easily bulky
The disadvantage of flip-type smartphone cases is that they tend to be thicker and bulkier than back-type smartphone cases because they are designed to cover both sides.
When carrying it in your pocket, the thickness may be a concern, so it may not be suitable for people who prefer slim smartphones.
Also, be careful that if you store multiple cards in the card pocket, the thickness will increase even more.
Difficult to operate with one hand
Flip-type smartphone cases have a lid, so it can be difficult to operate while holding it with one hand. For people who often use it with one hand, it may be inconvenient.
Also, even in situations where you want to operate it quickly, such as checking calls and messages, the effort of opening the lid may be stressful.
Heat tends to build up
The disadvantage of a notebook-style smartphone case is that it is difficult to dissipate heat and heat tends to build up because the case covers the entire smartphone.
Smartphones can become hot when used in a hot environment or when watching videos for long periods of time.
When a smartphone becomes hot, its battery life decreases and it becomes slower, so if you use a notebook-style smartphone case that tends to build up heat, you will need to take measures such as temporarily removing the case to cool it down.
