The most important thing about a cell phone case is the protection it offers. It's also always helpful to know what additional features different types of cases have. Each type of case has different advantages and disadvantages. For example, if you spend a lot of time in the office, we recommend a flip case.
In this article, discover together with the Electronic Filing , finally the specific role linked to each category of case - to allow you to make an appropriate choice.
Cell phone case: back covers
The back cover is the best protection for your smartphone. It is also called a hard case. A hard phone case is always made of plastic, but this is not the case with a back cover. A back cover can be made of plastic and TPU. In general, a back cover makes your smartphone thicker by only a few millimeters.
The most popular back covers are transparent ones. With a transparent back cover, the beautiful design of your smartphone is still preserved. We always recommend a screen protector with a back cover because the screen is not protected. Although the sides of the back covers often protrude slightly, the screen remains a sensitive part.
Benefits
- Thin protection,
- Feels good in the hand,
- Quick access to your smartphone.
Inconvenience
- The display is not protected.
Flip cell phone case
A flip phone case is, as the name suggests, a protective cover with a flap. Flip cases always consist of two parts. The inner part, also called the frame, ensures that your smartphone remains securely in the case. In the event of a fall or impact, your smartphone will also remain securely in the case.
The outer layer, on the other hand, ensures that your smartphone is protected 360 degrees. You can open the front flap vertically. Some flip cases also have a "standard" function. This feature allows you to comfortably watch movies and photos. There are also some flip cases where you can store cards.
Benefits
- 360 degree protection,
- Often luxurious designer case,
- Convenient additional functions.
Disadvantages

Cell phone case: bumper
When you think of a bumper , you quickly know how it works. It's a protection that only goes on the side of your smartphone. This cell phone case keeps the design of your smartphone very clearly visible. Bumpers are usually slightly thicker. So the front and back of your smartphone are equally protected if it falls on a flat surface. Besides, if your smartphone doesn't fall on a flat surface, you'll soon have damage.
Benefits
- The smartphone is quick to use,
- Preserved design
- Thin protection,
Inconvenience
- The front and rear are minimally protected.
