How to choose the right phone case

January 9, 2023

You just brought the new iPhone or Google Pixel and the last thing you want to do is crack the beautiful screen or break it when it drops, right? Afterall, a damaged phone can be quite expensive to repair or replace. Unfortunately, practically every smartphone that is available on the market isn't necessarily sturdy. Instead, they’re quite delicate and fragile which means they can be easily broken, damaged or disfigured. General wear and tear can be normal but nobody wants a phone that looks like it’s been through the worst of times. That’s why we protect our devices with phone cases. But not all mobile phone cases will protect our smartphone.

There are varieties of phone cases available to choose from that can be difficult to pick. Your choice will be determined by your needs. Some phone cases are made out of materials that are durable but others, not so much. The material of your phone case matters. If you are a little clumsy and find yourself dropping your phone a lot, you may be looking for something ultra protective and durable but that doesn’t mean the phone case needs to be bulky.

What to consider when buying a new phone case:

Your phone model

The type of phone model you have will determine which phone case will fit snug on your phone. Even though you have an iPhone or Android, you can’t opt for any phone case. The model of your phone is unique to the next with different sizes, ports and features. Our Neofier phone cases are specially designed to match the needs of each phone model. Even so, we recommend that you check the model type and generation before buying your phone case to make sure it will fit perfectly on your device.

Your style

Your phone can say a lot about your style and personality. For those who are more fashionable or creative, an ideal phone case will be one that is flamboyant in colour or personality. You can find phone cases with a silicone feel that are easily snapped onto your phone in a variety of colours and others that are faux leather which blend into your purse or outfit. If you are interested in something more simple, you may opt for a clear phone case to show off the brand of your device.

Type of protection

If you are a busy person, you drop your phone a lot or work in environments where there is heavy duty machinery, you may want to get a mobile phone case that gives you the ultimate protection. Having a phone that is protected, doesn’t mean that you need to compromise its style. There are plenty of phone cases with an ultra thin feel that will protect your phone from drops, shocks and dust without added bulkiness. We recommend looking for a phone case with military grade protection to keep give you added peace and security.

Price & Quality

Mobile phone cases don’t need to be expensive. You can find a protective phone case that is affordable and high quality. What matters most is the material used to make the phone case. Most phone cases are made out of materials such as plastic or rubber including TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane and PU (Polyurethane) which are strong and durable with a price point of around €14.99. That means that you don’t need to spend more than necessary for great shielding.

What makes a good phone case

Protective & Durable

The number one concern for anyone buying a phone case is how protective it is. You want to protect your screen, the camera and the edges. Not to mention what’s in the phone; your photos, messages, contact and small secrets. These days, a smartphone can be quite expensive so the last thing you’d want to do is damage it. At Neofier, protecting your phone is our first priority. Our selection of phone cases offer their own individual style with complete protection against impact.

Shock Absorbent

When shopping for a phone case, we recommend that you make its shock absorbent. Dropping your phone can be quite scary. The last thing you want is for your phone to absorb the impact of drops or shocks because it might not turn on again. Neofier phone cases are fully shock absorbent which means if your phone accidentally slips from your hand, you won’t need to worry about any cracks in the screen or camera.

Easy to Clean

Just like anything else, phone cases can get dirty from time to time but it shouldn’t be difficult to clean. Although some phone cases are advertised as being “anti-yellow” or “dust proof”, you’d be surprised how quickly bacteria can transfer from your hands to your phone. The best phone cases should be easy to clean and wipe down from germs and dirt.

Shows off your phone

We love our phones. Many of us can’t live without them. We may even have a sense of pride from the type of phone we have, especially if it's the latest model. Whether you’re an iPhone or Android lover, you will most likely want to show off your phone or maybe just the Neofier phone case. Either way, a good phone case will show off your phone and even compliment it.
