Do Cases Really Protect Your Phone?

There’s no doubt that smartphones have become an essential part of our lives. We use them to work, stay in touch with friends and family, and access information anytime. It’s important to protect our indispensable phones from damage. While there are many ways to do this, one of the most common methods is by using a phone case. But do phone cases really protect your phone? And if so, what are the dangers of not using a phone case?

At Pela, we take the protection of smart devices very seriously, and we offer a wide variety of iPhone cases and Android phone cases. We are also vested in creating a waste-free future for all lives on the planet and are dedicated to sourcing environmentally sensible materials for your next phone case. Let’s take a closer look to know if cases can really protect your phone.

What Are the Benefits of Using a Phone Case?

Most people use phone cases because they want to protect their phones from damage. Cases can help protect phones from scratches, cracks, drops and other types of damage. They can also help reduce the risk of theft by making it harder for thieves to steal the phone. In addition, some cases provide extra features such as protection against water or dust exposure.

However, not all cases provide equal levels of protection. It is important to choose a case that will best suit your needs. Whether your phone needs protection from a dusty environment or frequent drops, our team at Pela is here to help you pick the best case for your lifestyle.

Benefits of Different Types of Cases and Screen Protectors

There are many different types of cases and screen protectors available on the market, each with its own set of benefits. Here are some of the most popular options:

Flexible Silicone Cases

These cases are made from silicone, a soft and flexible material. Silicone cases are typically more affordable than aluminum and leather cases but still protect the phone against minor impacts and scratches. Silicone cases are also easy to slip on and off of phones and provide a more secure grip. However, most silicone cases do not provide much protection against water, hard drops or other significant impacts.

Rigid Plastic Cases

Plastic cases are made from hard plastic that secures the phone against scratches and drops. Like silicone cases, plastic cases are typically more affordable than other types of cases. However, they do not provide much protection against water or dust exposure.

Aluminum Cases

Aluminum cases are made from lightweight metal that provides good protection against scratches, minor impacts and drops. Aluminum cases are typically more expensive than other types of cases.

Leather Cases

Leather cases are made from natural or synthetic leather and offer good protection against scratches, minor impacts and drops. Leather cases typically age well and can develop a patina over time.

Liquid Screen Protectors

The zero-waste liquid screen protector from Pela is the ultimate option for sustainability. As a liquid application, there is enough to cover three smartphones and protect against cracks, scratches and breaks. A durable and sustainable phone case paired with a liquid screen protector is a great way to protect your essential devices.

It is important to clean your phone case regularly to prolong its life. You can clean most phone cases with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the case.
