The Ultimate iPhone Case Buyers Guide

If you're like most people, your iPhone is glued to your palm from morning till night. It's your go-to device that's one tap away from ordering dinner or a ride, taking selfies (#lookingfabulous) and even diagnosing an illness on Web MD. In other words, we use it for almost everything, which makes it the most essential tool for modern life. Just like the dual functionality of the purse or wallet, the iPhone case is the most important accessory you can own. Always by your side, this everyday ‘tech-cessory’ takes center stage in your overall look.

As designers of cell phone cases, we understand the importance of style and function. And with the latest design innovations and fashion forward trends, you can have the best of both worlds. A cell phone case is more than a protective cover for your device—it’s a unique expression of your personal style. Discover the best cell phone case for your personality and lifestyle and get ready to take on each day with confidence.

Top Things To Consider Before Buying an iPhone Case

Protection, Protection, Protection

It’s unlikely that you’ll be taking your iPhone deep water diving or on a hiking expedition to Mount Everest. But you’d be surprised at how easy it is to drop your phone and damage the screen, especially when you’re juggling other tasks. In fact, according to one study, smartphone consumers report a cracked screen as their biggest complaint. But with the latest design advances in cell phone cases, you can rest assured that your device is protected from those inevitable drops.

When you're shopping for a cell phone case, look for Military Grade Protection—a feature on almost every iPhone cover by Caseology, including our sleek and minimalist Skyfall iPhone case. Adhering to the strictest compliance of the most recent military standards, our smart phone cases go through rigorous drop testing, including 26 drop-tests from several different angles onto concrete backed by steel.

Also look for a bumper with a raised lip, which provides additional shock protection against drops. Originally designed for additional drop protection, the bumper is another design element which can be incorporated into the aesthetic of the phone, like our popular Envoy series which features a two-toned design with a matching beveled bumper that protects your screen and camera from high impact damage. It offers the ultimate shock protection but with the added fun of colors, including navy blue, burgundy, coral pink, and mint green.

Our Titan series offers the same heavy-duty protection as armor cases but with a slimmer profile, giving you a sleek, modern, rugged aesthetic look that fits seamlessly in a pocket or purse. Designed for durability and a slim, lightweight profile, the one piece case snaps easily onto your phone and fits like a glove, giving you high grade protection without any added bulk.

iPhone Accessories

Along with the cell phone case, a tempered glass screen protector is another vital accessory because it protects the screen from scratches which doesn't fall under the scope of military-grade standards. While the case guards your device, the added protective screen layer protects your display from scratches and high impact drops, as well as providing smudge, water, and oil resistance with its hydrophobic and oleophobic coating. Also look for screen protectors that feature HD clarity, which maintains an accurate display with deep details and vivid colors while still protecting the iPhone screen.

Another must-have tool for the busy professional is the wireless Bluetooth speaker, which frees you from cords with a strong wireless connection. Look for sports earphones with a secure fit and high-tech noise cancellation technology for clear, detailed audio. Designed for durability, these sweat proof earphones can survive the gym, running, biking, and many other rugged activities, giving you the freedom to stay active while always being connected. The strong battery life can also get you through a long day with 4 hours of playtime, 5 hours of talk time, and 130 hours of standby time.

iPhone Case Materials

The type of material used in the iPhone case is also another option to consider. In our collection of iPhone cases, many of our covers are made with TPU which is a type of flexible plastic that hugs the phone and provides a slim build with its ultra durable scratch resistant material. For instance, our Parallax line offers the ultimate in protection with its double layer of top grade TPU material and grippy polycarbonate frame.

Phone cases made from durable plastics like TPU serve as ultimate two-in-one element that not only protects your phone but also allows for a sleek, form fitting case that's so lightweight, you'll hardly notice it’s there. A textured sleeve also gives you a stronger grip to help you avoid drops while also giving you the option of adding style and personality, like a fun geometric pattern or modern linear design like the Vault II—a streamlined TPU case with just a hint of the rugged.

Precise Cutouts for the Perfect Fitting Case

When it comes to getting the most out of your cell phone case, precision is everything, which is why our collection of phone cases feature precise cutouts for important ports like headphone jacks and the charger. Enjoy the benefits of both protection and touch sensitivity with responsive buttons covers made with high-grade TPU material for that original click-feel.

Armor Cases

For a basic no-frills phone case that still complements your personal style, the Titan offers heavy duty protection with its dual layer design of sleek polycarbonate shell and shock absorbent TPU sleeve. It’s the ultimate in shock absorption but with minimal bulk. Like all of our iPhone cases, the Titan features a raised lip that protects the front screen and camera while accentuating the frame of your device.
