Striking the balance between your self-expression and functionality when choosing how to best protect your tech is an underrated art form. It's one that we've been exploring since '05, baby. Choosing the right skin or case for your phone can be a challenge, especially with a multitude of options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. This guide will help you make an informed decision when selecting the ideal phone case to safeguard your device.
Consider Your Device
When choosing a phone case, the first step is to consider your device. GelaSkins offers a variety of options for different phone models, including iPhone, Samsung, and more. Ensure you pick a case that fits your device model, for ultimate protection.
Define Your Level of Protection
Phone cases come in various levels of protection, and your choice should align with your lifestyle. GelaSkins offers three main types:
- Device Skins: At less than half a millimeter thin, our skins are the slimmest and most lightweight option. They offer protection against minor scratches and scuffs while maintaining the original look of your device. Ideal for those who want minimal interference with the phone's design. With 3M Controltac™ technology, your iPhone is in good hands.
- Snap Cases: These slim profile cases are only 1.25mm thick and are made from a single piece of tough polycarbonate. The print wraps around the raised front lip, making them both stylish and protective. Ideal for the style-conscious user.
- Tough Cases: If you need bombproof protection, Tough cases are the way to go. They are dual-layer, featuring polycarbonate with a cushioning TPU liner. These cases provide maximum protection against drops, impacts, and accidents. They are perfect for people who lead active lifestyles or use their phone for work.
Express Your Style
Your phone case is an opportunity to showcase your personality and style. GelaSkins offers a wide range of designs, from classic to bold, and allows for custom designs. You can choose from a variety of artist collections, or even upload your own image to create a case custom to you.
Durability and Material
The durability of a phone case depends on the material it's made from. At GelaSkins, we use high-quality materials to ensure longevity and protection. Consider the following:
- Polycarbonate: This is a tough and lightweight material used in both our Snap and Tough style cases, providing a good balance between protection and style.
- TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane): TPU is flexible, providing excellent shock absorption. It is used in Tough cases for superior protection.
- 3M Vinyl: This high quality vinyl is used for our phone skins to offer a scratch-resistant and easy-to-apply solution. Laminated after printing, this vinyl preserves the design of your phone skin over time.
Ergonomics and Functionality
When choosing a phone case, consider how it affects the usability of your device. Ensure that it provides easy access to buttons, ports, and features. GelaSkins utilizes cases with precise cutouts, so you can use your device comfortably without removing the case. Plus, we always take into account customer feedback, to ensure our products are serving all of your phone protection needs.
Screen Protectors
Aside from the seemingly endless case and skin options available, GelaSkins also carries tempered glass screen protectors: GelaShields. These protectors provide an additional layer of defense for your device's screen, guarding against scratches and impacts.
Choosing the perfect level of protection for your phone involves considering your device, desired level of protection, style preferences, material, and ergonomics. The protective possibilities we have at GelaSkins are vast, from sleek device skins to tough cases, allowing you to protect your device while expressing your unique style. With the right case, you can safeguard your phone without compromising on aesthetics or functionality. Go ahead, explore the options, and find the perfect case that suits your needs and reflects your personality.
