Proper protection for a new smartphone is a must. After all, you have spent 500-600$ to buy a new device that can fit in your pocket but has functions of a powerful PC. Sure, you do not want to scratch it. Perhaps, you have seen lots of eBay lots with phones having cracked screens and numerous scuffs. If you do not want your cell phone end up on eBay for a ridiculous price (nobody wants to buy used smartphones at high prices) you should already be looking for a good protective case.
Cell phone cases are not just accessories that contribute to your style. The main reason why people buy cover cases it to protect their devices from wear, scuffs and scratches. Gone are the days when you put your old Nokia to any jeans pocket without being worried of possible scuff marks and other damages. Even minor scratches on the screen can make a smartphone barely usable, since these devices are used to watch videos and for Internet surfing. Edges of the phones body are also vulnerable spots. So, a case will give a maximum protection without spoiling the phone’s look.
Luckily, today’s markets offer a variety of options in terms of design and materials. Here are a few tips and considerations for buyers looking for good quality, durable and reasonably priced cell phone cases.
Leather versus silicone and rubberized plastic. Yes, leather looks and feels great. A leather case will perfectly fit a new iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S III. This is a great choice for business people, managers and consultants. Silicone and rubberized plastic are great and durable materials. Besides, all possible colors are available. It is difficult to recommend particular materials. Some people can’t stand silicone and enjoy holding a genuine leather case, while others purchase 7 multicolored silicone cases and use a different case every day.
Durability of a cell phone case is all important. Lots of cheap cases are available online. Yes, you may be tempted to spend 3$ and buy a cheap case, but you will regret it in a week. Extremely cheap cases will look like junk in a month or so. This is a waste of money. A good 20$ case will do a great job, and there will be no need to replace it with a new one every month.
If you have any doubts or need advice, do not hesitate to look for reviews from real customers like you. So far, this is the best method to determine your needs and choose a really worthy case.
