In a world where we use our phones more than we use almost anything, how do we pick the perfect case to protect them?
Your choice of an iPhone case will vary greatly depending on your priorities. Are you looking for a phone case that offers you protection or style? Or are you potentially interested in the convenience of a wallet case or the smooth feel or a silicone one?
The options for design are truly endless, so we’ve compiled a list of a few of the options to consider when deciding on the case for your next phone.
Protection
With smartphones being notorious for shattered screens, cracked edges, and other terrible (read: costly) damages, protection is often number one on an iPhone user’s list of priorities. Luckily, there are plenty of iPhone cases that offer robust protection.
With the newest iPhones often coming in at around one thousand dollars or more with accessories, protection for this beloved little investment is critical.
The level of protection needed for your phone depends on your lifestyle. Often, those with a hands-on job need more protection than others. The same could also apply to those with little ones running around their home and using their devices or users prone to a bit of clumsiness.
For those in need of all-over protection, look for cases that offer high drop protection and textured grip. You may also want to consider a screen protector and a waterproof case for maximum protection and a pop socket or other phone holder rings or grippers to help keep you from dropping your device.
Style
Most of us spend roughly three hours per day on our iPhones. So with all of that use, why not have a case representing your personal style or your company’s? There is an abundance of options to choose from, so finding the perfect fit for you shouldn’t be a problem.
Color, material, and design are some of the fun options for style choices. Do you want something bright and fun? Maybe you’d like an animal or textured print. Or perhaps the best case for you is one with flowers, hanging potted plants, or with a quote or image from your favorite movie or television series on it.
For something more sleek and modern, popular options are cases that are clear, single-colored, or have a marble design, as these come across as more upscale and professional.
Wallet
Many may opt for the convenience of a phone case with a wallet built right into it. There is an ease that comes with having all of your valuables in one place. It’s practical, especially for those on the go or who often switch from a bag or purse to a briefcase.
Many wallet cases are leather, and they flip open and fully snap closed on the back and allow numerous cards to fit. These might be ideal for those in need of carrying around business cards or who have multiple credit cards they use throughout the day.
There are also minimalistic options for hard cases with card slots that will allow 2-3 cards to fit and offer a more sleek look.
Silicone
Silicone cases were some of the earliest phone cases and remain largely popular today for their affordability, durability, and grip.
The silicone material offers a decent amount of protection along with a soft finish and a matte appearance. The material is also resistant to fingerprints and easy to clean or sanitize. They also offer a slip-resistant grip and are comfortable to the touch without being too pliable.
Making the right choice for your phone case is made easy as there are a plethora of options. Without a doubt, there is a perfect fit for you out there somewhere. And the best part is, you don’t have to choose just one!
