！3434Phonesdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd cases today are not just decorative accessories to help glamorize your phone, they can be more. You can find them in numerous materials, styles and functionality. Today we are going to show you five common types of phone cases for your reference.

 

 

I. Silicone Cases

 

The silicone case is the most familiar type of phone case. It is soft and smooth to the touch and has been popular for many years. From the poorly made stall goods to the development of well-made individual brands, its market share has always maintained a leading position. Due to their excellent cost performance, silicone cases have been always popular.

 

 

The silicone case could be divided into two kinds, one is organic silicone, and the other is inorganic silicone. The silicone cases on the market basically belong to the former. Organic silicone has many advantages, such as high-temperature resistance, good weather resistance (not afraid of ultraviolet or ozone decomposition), good insulation, material stability and so on.

 

In addition, the silicone case is also chosen because of its good feeling: some phones with stiff keyboards will be improved by the silicone case. It can also absorb some of the impacts of knocks on the phone, thus reducing the damage to the phone. Besides, the waterproof performance of the silicone case is great, which has become its biggest selling point.

 

Silicone cases possess many advantages and the price is low. However, there are still shortcomings, because of poor air permeability, long-term wearing will lead to heat accumulation of the phone body. In particular, some smartphones that are easy to heat are not recommended to use silicone cases. Moreover, the case itself is slightly sticky, which will gather and absorb a lot of dust on the phone after a period of use. In the long run, it is not conducive to the beauty of the phone and runs counter to the original intention of protecting the phone.

 

Liquid Silicone Case V.S. Ordinary Silicone Case

 

Liquid silicone follows as the name suggests using liquid silicon rubber material, liquid silicone rubber injection molding process, and is commonly used in rigid PC plastics in CL - 26 ab glue under the action of thermal bonding together, transparency liquid silicone rubber raw materials. With the high-quality demand for precision molds and silicone glue, the price is relatively expensive.

 

                                                                                                                       

                                  

In order to save cost, ordinary silicone phone cases are mostly molded by solid silicone rubber material, which appears in pure silicone products or relatively low transparency products. Because solid silicone is relatively cheaper than liquid silicone. The molding machine is also relatively cheaper, and the production threshold is low, which is the process often used by traditional silicone cases.

 

The new liquid silicone case process adopts self-adhesive liquid silicone rubber material and PC110, PC1414, PC154 and other brands of plastic. The material dispenses with PRIMER and glue technology, and its quality is comparable to that of liquid silicone, glue and PC three-layer phone case. It is the development trend of mobile phone cases and silicone products in the next few years.

 

II. TPU Cases

 

The TPU phone case and silicone phone case are both soft rubber products. Many people do not know the difference between them, and even some sellers are not very clear about that.

 

 

TPU belongs to plastic. The product is made by the injection molding process, that is, after the plastic particles are heated and melted, the product is made by shooting the plastic mold with the gun barrel. While the silicone belongs to rubber whose molding process is vulcanized molding. Cut pieces of silicone raw material, and put them in the mold. After heating and pressurizing, finally, make products.

 

General plastic products have a plastic mouth, then trim the product after injection molding. Bad trim will affect the appearance. The silicone has no mouth, but there is a circle of rough edges needing to repair around it. If the mold is not good, the rough edges will be more obvious.

 

From the perspective of feeling, the hardness of TPU will be harder than the silicone. TPU can be compared to the muscle and the silicone to fat.

 

As for appearance, TPU can be made into a very transparent phone case, but silicone can’t achieve it. The most transparent phone case made of silicone is very hazy like a thick fog. It is the transparency of TPU that makes it popular with users. And TPU products are more high-grade, more selective, and have more pattern changes than silicone cases.

 

The disadvantage of TPU is that it is easy to deform and turn yellow. After three or four months, if you just buy transparent white and other light-colored products, it is easy to turn yellow. If the materials are not good, they will even fog or stick to your hand.

 

III. Leather Cases

 

Leather cases are also popular among all kinds of protective cases. Compared with a single style of silicone cover, business people in the workplace prefer to use a decent leather case. Unlike young people who advocate leisure, holding a single appearance of the color of the mobile phone is not elegant for them.

 

The advantages of the leather case are chic, elegant and good heat dissipation, but it can not play a perfect waterproof role. At the same time, if the case is too large, it is difficult to put into the pocket, carrying up some inconvenience.

 

There is also a very case - wallet phone case. As the name suggests, it doubles as a phone case and a wallet. (It can even be used as a phone stand.) It is often designed to look like a book. When you open it, the phone clips inside or folds over the front of the phone. An area in the back is designed to be a socket, which can usually store a few standard credit-card-sized cards. The downside is that if you put more cards or change into the case, it will be heavier and may not fit into smaller pockets or mini bags. Overall, this is also a wonderful choice.

 

 

IV. Metal Cases

 

Metal cases are part of the trends of its premium look and feel. The metal case is made of aluminum or some kind of alloy. It protects your phone well. Its biggest selling point is actually its cooling function as it disperses heat from your phone around you. Many business people prefer this kind of case.

 

                          

 

However, because of its material, it is less selective. Most of the colors are black or gray, and there are not many styles. At the same time, it can be a bit heavy and not easy to carry. If you want a lighter one, the price won't be too low.

 

V. Tempered Glass Cases

 

Since the launch of the iPhone, tempered glass cases have been one of the top-seller phone case styles. But the glass is generally only used as the back of the phone case, there is no full-body toughened glass case.

 

Tempered glass cases will generally be presented together with a PC metal plating frame. Many people will think it is a metal case before buying, in fact, the main raw material of the backplane determines whether it is a metal case or a tempered glass case.

 

Tempered glass cases have their own pros and cons. The biggest characteristic of the case is its bright light, giving the appearance of texture. It will be like a mirror, with a very delicate touch.

 

The tempered glass in impact resistance, scratch resistance and bending resistance is 4 times the general glass, and, its manufacturing of phone cases in durability, scratch resistance is also excellent. In addition, tempered glass can also adapt to the high temperature of 350 degrees, while ordinary glass can not withstand boiling water (100 degrees) immersion.

 

And the flaws of the cases are obvious. Because it has a certain thickness, it will be a little heavy. Then it has a small chance of erupting spontaneously, but it won't hurt anyone. Two out of 1,000 products self-destruct after a period of use due to bubbles, stones or impurities that may arise during manufacturing. However, tempered glass will appear in a passivated way after breaking particles, not hurting the body.

 

Although the strength of tempered glass has been strengthened a lot, it is still fragile. Too high to fall will lead to a broken case.
