Need an iPhone Case? Consider These Top Choices

7 Comments

If you want to protect your iPhone from damage (and keep it looking clean and new), you will have to get yourself a decent iPhone case. iPhone cases are available online or in stores and they come in an array of different colors, styles and designs.  With the various cases available online, the million dollar question is, which one is the best?

OtterBox Defender iPhone Case

If you are looking for a case that can handle tough conditions, the OtterBox Defender should be your first choice. It comes with a screen protector, polycarbonate shell and a rubber outer layer which acts as a shock absorber. Therefore, when you accidentally drop your phone, the rubber outer layer absorbs the impact and ensures that your phone is not damaged. It also comes with rubber plugs which protect the ports. The only downside with this case is that it is a bit bulky; however, that is a small price to pay for the safety of your iPhone.

 

OtterBox Commuter Case

It might not be as rugged as the Defender but it offers great protection for your iPhone. As it was the case with the Defender, the Commuter has rubber plugs which keep the dust out of the headphone jack as well as the iPhone dock connector. It comes with a built-in screen protector which protects your screen from scratches and keeps it looking sleek and new.

 

Cygnett Vector

Sleek, textured, stylish and affordable are some of the words that can be used to describe the Cygnett Vector 3D iPhone case. It is easy to grip, impact resistant and has a built-in screen protector. If you are looking for a cheap yet effective case, look no further than Cygnett Vector.

 

 

Belkin View iPhone Case

The new iPhone 5 is stylish, sleek and very gorgeous, therefore, you can be forgiven for not wanting to cover it with a case. The Belkin View case was made for people who like to show off their stylish new phones. It offers great protection without compromising the stylish look of your phone. The back of the case is made of polycarbonate and it is transparent. The side edging is impact resistant. You can choose from the array of colors at your disposal.

 

Grove Bamboo Case

It might be a bit expensive but its style and design justifies its price. The new Grove Bamboo case features intricate designs which make your phone look stylish and gorgeous. Unlike other rubber cases, this case does not succumb to scratches and scuffs. The best thing about it is that you can customize the design to suit your personality.

While cases protect your iPhone from accidental damage, there are some cases when the iPhone case won’t do you any good. For instance, if you accidentally drop your phone in a pool, the case will not protect your iPhone from water damage. The technicians at iFixYouri have the expertise required to fix your iPhone.

What iPhone Case is Right for You??

Leave a comment

Hello iWorld,

The iPhone is one of the greatest pieces of technology out today, but as we all know is damaged very easily. Customers are always asking me recommendations to help protect their phone in the future. The best thing to do to prevent a cracked screen or water damage is to use a good iPhone case. I have chosen my favorite 3 cases on the market today, which are all available at any of our walk in locations or in our online store. Each case is different and excels in different areas.

Physical Damage: Otter Box Defender Series

If you find yourself constantly having to replace broken screens, the Otter Box Defender Series is great for you. The case has two layers of protection. The inner layer of the case is made of a hard plastic shell and screen protector. The outer layer is a thick silicone shell that helps absorb any impact your device might have. Now no case can completely protect your iPhone from any physical damage, but the Otter Box does a great job testing these limits. I’ve seen many customer and friends purposely drop their iPhone in an Otter Box to show off how durable it is. The case does help prevent water damage, but will not help if water is excessive or submerged.

Water Damage: LifeProof

The LifeProof case is simply amazing. This case is what anyone who has been affected by water damage is looking for. The case creates a seal around your phone and prevents any water from getting to the device. My favorite feature of this case is it allows you took take pictures and videos underwater up to 6 ft. Yes I said underwater! For anyone looking to get those epic vacation or weekend photos, this case is a must have. Something to breifly note is the headphone jack plug that is included in the case is very important and helps keep water out of the device. I have had numerous customers not realize this and still damage the device. The case does a decent job protecting against physical damage, but should be avoided. If you are frequently near water and are worried about losing your device and information on it, fortunately these needs are now met with the LifeProof case and iCloud. iCloud is a great feature and I am constantly advising customers to set it up on their phone. iCloud is available on the latest update and automatically stores your cell phones info on an online server.

Best Overall: Specks’ Hard Candy Shell

Of all the cases on the market, personally I feel that Specks’ Hard Candy Shell is the best. The case is slender and offers a good deal of protection. Most of my fellow iFixYouri technicians also use this case on their own iPhones. The case like the Otter Box has two layers of protection. The inner layer is a thicker silicone case that helps absorb any shock the phone might get from dropping. The outer layer is a hard plastic case that helps spreading out the shock to the inner layer when dropped. My favorite feature of this case is it easily slips in and out of my pocket. The case can be hooked up to most chargers and easily separated for dock connector accessories. The case is even raised around the sides, which helps prevent the glass from actually striking the ground.

If you have any questions regarding which case is best for you, please contact our nation wide mail center at 561 328 9535 and one of my fellow skilled technicians would be happy to assist.
