Things to consider

Choosing the right phone case or screen protector can feel overwhelming. To make it easier, here are the key things to consider to ensure you get the best phone protection for your needs.

• Protection level: How clumsy are you? If you’re prone to dropping your phone, look for cases with certified drop protection (e.g., military-grade) and raised edges to protect the screen and camera.

• Material: Materials matter. Silicone and TPU offer great shock absorption and grip, while hard polycarbonate provides scratch resistance. Many of the best cases use a combination of materials for comprehensive protection.

• Design and bulk: A tougher case often means more bulk. Decide what’s more important to you: a slim, pocket-friendly design or maximum, heavy-duty protection that might be thicker.

• Extra features: Do you need more than just protection? Consider cases with built-in wallets, kickstands for media viewing, or MagSafe compatibility for easy wireless charging and accessory attachment.

FAQs

• What's the difference between silicone, TPU, and polycarbonate cases?

Silicone is soft, flexible, and offers excellent grip and shock absorption. Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a hybrid material that’s more rigid than silicone, but still flexible and highly durable. Polycarbonate is a hard, rigid plastic that provides great scratch resistance, but is less effective at absorbing impact on its own.

• Do I still need a screen protector if I have a good case?

Yes, it’s highly recommended. A case protects the body of your phone, but a tempered glass screen protector is the best defence against direct scratches, cracks, and impacts to your screen.

• What does 'military-grade drop protection' mean?

This means the case has been tested to meet or exceed the standards of MIL-STD-810G. In simple terms, the phone has been dropped from a specific height, usually 4-6 feet, multiple times onto a hard surface without sustaining damage.

• Will a thick, rugged case interfere with wireless charging?

Most modern rugged cases from reputable brands are designed to be compatible with wireless charging. However, very thick cases or those with metal components (like kickstands or wallet attachments) can sometimes interfere, so it's always best to check the product specifications.

• How do I clean my phone case?

For most silicone or plastic cases, you can use a soft cloth with warm, soapy water. For tougher stains, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol can be effective. Always remove your phone from the case before cleaning, and ensure the case is completely dry before putting it back on.

• What is a 'raised lip' or 'raised bezel' on a phone case?

This is a design feature where the edges of the case are slightly elevated above the screen and camera lenses. If you place your phone face down, the raised lip ensures the screen doesn't touch the surface, preventing scratches.

• Are clear cases good for protection?

They can be. High-quality clear cases are often made from a combination of scratch-resistant polycarbonate on the back, and shock-absorbent TPU on the sides. Look for clear cases that have anti-yellowing properties to keep them looking fresh.

• What is MagSafe compatibility?

MagSafe is an Apple technology that uses magnets to securely attach accessories, including chargers, wallets, and mounts. A MagSafe-compatible case has built-in magnets that allow these accessories to work seamlessly without removing the case.

• How often should I replace my phone case?

There's no set rule, but you should replace your case if it's visibly damaged (e.g., cracked, stretched out, or has broken pieces), as its protective capabilities will be compromised. It's also a good idea to upgrade your case when you get a new phone.

• Can a phone case cause my phone to overheat?

In most situations, no. Reputable case manufacturers design their products to allow for proper heat dissipation. However, in very intensive-use cases (like prolonged gaming or GPS use in a hot car), a very thick case could potentially trap some heat. If you notice your phone getting unusually hot, removing the case temporarily can help it cool down.
