The most important accessory
for the smartphone is the mobile cover. It protects the cell phone
from damage and can be a fashionable accessory. The range of cell phone
cases for the iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and others is large. Here's how to
find your perfect case.
Extreme temperatures, humidity and drops can damage a cell
phone in the following ways.
Heat: Strong sunlight and heat can lead to malfunctions in
mobile phones, which can often not be reversed. Above all, the display and
battery are affected from a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius. Mobile phone
cases made of neoprene can help. On the other hand, plastic is not suitable
because it could melt.
Cold: Smartphones are also sensitive to cold. In addition to
defects and malfunctions, the battery can drain much faster. It is particularly
risky if the smartphone is brought from the cold to the warmth because
condensed water then collects.
Moisture: Water and moisture are basically the end of all
electronics.
Falls: Don't pay attention, and the cell phone falls to the
floor. Depending on the surface on which the device falls, the damage is more
or less bad. A hard case can protect a smartphone well from impact damage.
Scratches: Since the smartphone is taken everywhere, there
are often scratches on the display. It is enough if the device is carelessly
stowed in the bag and hits pointed objects there.
In general, a distinction is made
between the following cell phone case variants:
Hard and soft case: Both versions
describe a cover for the smartphone. While the hard case is often made of
plastic, silicone is usually used for the soft case.
Bumper: Bumper means
"bumper". So this is a kind of bumper for the cell
phone. This accessory lies over the frame of the cell phone.
Flip case and case: Both variants
represent a practical mobile cover for the cell phone, which is
precisely tailored to the size of the smartphone. They cover the entire
device and can be opened, for example, like a book (book style) or a wallet.
Slim case: The slim case hugs the cell
phone and is usually made of neoprene.
Back cover: The back cover of the cell
phone is protected.
Hybrid cover: As a rule, a hybrid cover
consists of two parts, with the inner shell being made of silicone. This
is clamped into the outer cover. The hybrid cover is also known as an
outdoor cover or cover.
Cell phone pouches and cell phone
socks: As the name suggests, this is a kind of bag in which smartphones can
simply be inserted. These bags are often closed with a drawstring.
Arm bags: These bags are particularly
suitable for the outdoor area, for example for jogging, or for the
gym. They can easily be tied around the upper arm.
The decision about the material of a
cell phone case should be carefully considered, because different materials are
suitable depending on your preferences and planned purposes.
Plastic is widely used
in the production of cell phone cases. Since it can be easily colored,
there is a huge selection of different models. It is advantageous that
plastic is very easy to care for and does not impair the radio performance of
the cell phone. However, plastic usually does not offer such a
high-quality feel.
If you have decided on a material, but still cannot find a
case for your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or another smartphone, you can also have
your mobile cover made by yourself.
