Consumers spend billions of dollars on an annual basis on cell phones and with our smartphone being the most used gadget on a daily basis it’s important to protect our devices with cell phone cases that are very dependable, durable and comfortable to hold (since the comfort of using a phone is equally as important as the protection).
In this guide, we’ll be covering a variety of unique cell phone case features and options that will help you choose the best case for your phone case needs, requirements, and preferences.
Read Reviews Before Purchasing A Cell Phone Case
It’s important to understand what you’re buying and by this, I’m referring to the quality of the cell phone case you’re considering to purchase. Prior to selecting and making a purchase decision on a particular case, first, do your homework and read reviews from others who have purchased the same case so you can get an idea of what to expect from the quality.
For me personally, the quality of cell phone cases are very important as when I spend $800+ on a phone (Galaxy S8+) I want to be sure that I’m using a case that equally matches the build quality of the phone it’s housing.
Never purchase a case before reading the manufacturer’s description or the reviews left by previous buyers as you could end up with a case that isn’t all of what you expected.
Understanding The Features Of The Cell Phone Case
Another thing to consider before purchasing a cell phone case that I believe is something that is often times overlooked are the features included with the case. There are plenty of available cell phone cases on the market that include features such as a built-in stand (for easily watching videos) or a stylus holder that has a slot to hold your stylus for easy accessibility.
Perhaps being one of the greatest features of any case are the cases that contain a “wallet feature” (also known as a wallet case).
Wallet cases are cell phone cases that include a built-in compartment that can hold your driver’s license, credit/debit cards and sometimes even loose change (a compartment with a zipper).
These are very convenient and in fact, my wallet case has replaced my traditional wallet altogether as I can now easily carry my phone which includes all of the important cards and information I need right in the case!
A wallet case, in my opinion, is the best case you can purchase for a phone as it’ll easily allow you to carry all of your important cards and information with you included in your cell phone case without having to carry a separate wallet (or purse).
Consider The Durability Of The Case
Buying a case can be a difficult experience as there are so many options available. Although there are endless options of available features, functionalities and color choices; the most important question to ask before purchasing a case is:
Will the case protect my phone?
First and foremost, the most important feature of any case is its ability to protect your phone whether you dropped it in water, let it slip out of your hands down the stairs or let it fall out of your pocket as you’re jogging.
Always be sure to closely look at the image(s) of the cell phone case that you’re considering buying so you can analyze the details of the build-quality and design. Check reviews from previous buyers and specifically look for feedback about the cases durability.
Sometimes reviewers stress-test cases and intentionally put their phones through the dangerous situation and will drop their phones on purpose just to test the protection capabilities of the case. If you can, find these kinds of reviews as these ultimately will help you choose a case that will protect your phone(s) from accidental usage.
