Why You Should Change Phone Cases
Smartphones have become an integral part of life in the modern world. You might even be reading this article on your mobile screen! On top of using cell phones to make phone calls and message people, we also use these ubiquitous devices to find new places, get directions, capture our memories, and even pay for everything we do.
Because they’re so useful, smartphones are essential — but also very expensive. That’s why the average smartphone user takes extra precautions to protect their phone. You’re probably using a smartphone with a screen protector and a phone case. The latter is important because it protects all parts of the smartphone from accidents.
The best iPhone X case would still be inexpensive when compared to a brand new iPhone X. That’s why changing phone cases is easier than changing phones. But why would you want to change a phone case? Below are some common reasons why someone would want to change phone cases.
1) Cleaning Your Phone
Do you know how dirty your phone is? Your hands touch many different surfaces during the day, and your phone is always at the tip of your fingers. Anything you touch — all the germs on it, all the dirt and dust — will be transferred to your phone and phone case, as you use your smartphone constantly.
Just like washing your hands to ensure that they’re clean, you also need to make it a point to clean your phone at least once a day. Remove your phone case and clean your phone by wiping it down with a rag and warm water or a disinfecting wipe.
You can also clean your phone case. But now that you’ve got it off, you might want to change things up and put on a different phone case once your smartphone is dry and clean.
2) Standing Out
Millions of people have iPhones with matching iPhone X cases. That’s why there are tons of phone case options on the market — from those that offer the best in protection to those that simply make your phone stand out as a fashion accessory.
Like shoes and bags, phone cases can be something you collect and change up every few days. If you’re cleaning your phone every day, you also have a daily chance to change your phone case to match whatever it is you’re going to wear the next day.
3) Having More Protection
Phone cases can eventually take on too much wear and tear, and end up being not ideal at protecting your phone. In cases like this, it’s best to buy a new one to keep your phone virtually indestructible.
You might also be the type to use a phone case that looks cute but doesn’t offer much protection. If you’re planning on doing something that will require you to take extra care of your smartphone — like a trip to the pool or the beach, where it’s likely that your phone will need water protection — change your phone case to match exactly what you need.
4) Investing in More
When you buy a new phone case to replace one that’s seen better days, you can invest in more — in terms of protection, and also in terms of what the phone case can do.
Did you know that a phone case these days can also be a phone stand, a battery pack, a wallet, or even a bottle opener? Check out new models of phone cases to see if there’s one that might fit your lifestyle better than the one that’s on your smartphone.
5) Getting a Grip
Smartphones can be light, thin, sleek, and slippery. They’re not like the mobile phones that came before them. New models can be difficult to hold on to and even more difficult to leave on a table or bag, just because you’re not sure if they’ll be okay without you checking on them every minute.
Get a grip by choosing a phone case that’s rubberized or has a shape that fits into the way you hold your phone. And get a grip on your phone anxiety by choosing a phone case that you trust to keep your expensive phone safe.
6) Making it Easy to Dock or Charge
Some phone cases can interfere with docking or wireless charging. You don’t want to have to remove a phone case every single time you need to dock it to hook up to your home or car stereo — or so you can charge it wirelessly.
If you’ve purchased products that have changed your habits and you’re starting to need to dock or charge wirelessly more often, just change your phone case to make it all easier. What you’ll spend on it is well worth the time you’ll save not needing to take the phone case off and then putting it back on when you’re done.
7) Preparing for Life Changes
Maybe your phone case has served you well since you got it, but it can’t evolve into what you need if your life changes significantly.
For example: What happens when you become a parent? Your kids will try to grab everything around them — including your phone. If your phone case is just for fashion, the cute design might prompt children to focus on them excessively, and it may not protect your smartphone from the number of accidents that it can get to when being held by a child. Change your phone case to fit your life.
