We try very hard to ensure that the mobile phones, for which we pay a small fortune, are not exposed to external influences. Especially HTC One with aluminum surface, Xperia with polymer case, and iPhone family are among the most susceptible to scratches. On the other hand, Samsung stands out with its durability due to the hard scratching of the leather-like plastic that it started with the Note 3 (although it is criticized in terms of material quality).
Although we see that the screens of many flagship phones are reinforced with Gorilla Glass coating, this coating does not prevent scratches. Due to these situations, we constantly protect our phones, especially to avoid losing the secondhand market. We witness many people show the care they do not show to themselves or their phones.
The smart devices we use for choosing the movie we will watch at the cinema, using social media, checking our e-mails, making our hospital appointments and many other functions that we manage our lives with are in our hands at least 70% of the day. So the risk of dropping them is very high.
Using a phone case is a solution as their sensitive mechanical structures will be damaged by strong impacts. So which phone case protects your phone better? We have listed the advantages and protection rates of the most used cover types for you from the bottom to the top. Let’s start with the least protective cover first.
Bumper/Frame Phone Case > Protection Score 2/10
This type of phone case protects only the edges of the phone. The back case and screen are susceptible to impacts. Bumper cases are recommended if you use screen protector glass to protect the screen.
Ultra-Thin Phone Case > Protection Score 4/10
It is the thinnest case model and is highly preferred because it does not thicken the phone in any way. However, the protection rate is lower than in normal cases due to their thin structure.
FlipCover/Phone Case with Removable Battery Cover > Protection Score 4/10
These models are used by removing the battery cover of the phone. It is mainly found in models such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4. Since it is used instead of the battery cover, it does not thicken the phone in any way, but it does not protect the back case either. Covered models have a higher protection rate as the screen is hidden.
Stone Phone Case > Protection Score 5/10
Stone cases, a model preferred by women, have a higher protection rate if they are on a silicone design. It is generally preferred for special occasions or elegant clothing. It is not recommended for daily use as the stones may be damaged.
Rubber/Hard Plastic Phone Case > Protection Rating 5/10
It is made of hard plastic material; these cases protect the back and side bezels of the phone. Since the bottom and top edges are usually left open in these designs, the phone’s defense against shocks from those areas is weak in case of dropping the phone. They are preferred because of their thinner structure and variety of colors and patterns.
Silicone Phone Case > Protection Score 7/10
The silicon phone cases are produced from soft silicone material; these phone cases protect by observing the phone back case and edges. Since their soft structures absorb the impact, they provide strong protection in case of falling, making it a moderate iPhone 12 case. However, it is worth remembering that the phone does not protect its screen.
Ultra Protection Phone Case> Protection Score 8/10
These cases are made of soft silicone and hard rubber material, which protect the back case and edges of the phone while providing partial protection in case of drops on the screen, thanks to the projection on the screen side. These cases, produced with an extra robust structure, are preferred for devices such as iPhone 12 and Samsung Galaxy, instead of phones such as Galaxy Note with widescreen, as they make the phone volume look larger.
Conclusion
Underlining that no phone case protects the phone one hundred percent, the NEW CASE expert team emphasizes that it is necessary to use a case to protect the phone from the worst damages. You can use a phone case to make it look nice or to protect the phone from stains. However, you can buy an iPhone 12 case in our store at NEW CASE for quality and durable phone cases.
