Protect Your Cell Phone from Impact with Cell Phone Case

The most common problem that brings customers to repair shops is shattered glass screens. Screens are particularly vulnerable to shattering if the point of impact is at a corner of the phone, where force exerted on the glass is more concentrated.

For a baseline level of protection, choose a case made of a shock-absorbent material (like silicone or rubber) that covers your phone’s vulnerable corners. Shoman advises smartphone owners against plastic cases, which do not effectively absorb shock and are likelier to translate the impact onto the device itself.

Beyond that, what you buy depends on how and where you use your phone. A slim case may be all you need if you’re confident you’ll only subject your phone to everyday bumps and minor drops. Try a translucent slim case for iPhones, Google Pixel handsets, and Samsung Galaxy devices to show off your phone’s design.

Cases with thick, bulky shells add more weight and absorb greater shock. These cases are for younger phone users. Teenagers are very much prone to break their phones”. For teens (or let’s face it, grown adults) who prefer heavy-duty protection, use a Otter Box brand cases. Otter Box offers cases for iPhone and a wide variety of Android phones. The hallmark of the Otter Box brand is the “Defender” series cases, which undergo a rigorous series of tests for durability. The Defender Series Case for the iPhone 8/7, for example, is a full-coverage case that offers a durable polycarbonate shell, flaps that shield charging ports, touchscreen protection, and a holster. (Yes, a holster.) The case weighs in at 4.6 ounces, and it gives your phone the hardy air of a miniature Transformer.
