Iphone Cases

I was recently shopping around for a case on amazon, ebay, and a few other websites and couldn’t help but notice that there seems to be a new surge in the amount of $1 cases for the iPhone that are being sold online and to make things worse, people are actually buying them! Now i know what you may be thinking, whats the big deal? Why not spend $1 on a case, if it breaks it was only $1 and I can get another one right? Well yes, that is right. They are only $1 and yea I guess if they break or fall apart you can always just get another one but my question is why would you want to go through all that trouble in the first place?

The main reason for buying an iPhone case is to protect your phone against damage and general wear and tear that comes from using a device like the iPhone, and the problem with these cheap cases is that they are well, cheap. Most will fall apart within a matter of months just from being scraped in and out of your pocket and chances are that if you drop your phone or accidentally do something that causes stress on the case that it just won’t hold up and protect your iPhone the same way a quality $10 case will. Most of these $1 cases are coming straight out of China and I actually spoke to a supplier i found on ali-baba (a wholesaler directory) and he pretty much admitted that these cases for cosmetics only and don’t offer any real world protection.

So if you just want to add a unique look to your iPhone then yes you can go ahead and use these cheap cases but don’t expect them to hold up with general wear and tear and don’t be one bit surprised if your screen cracks when you drop it because there is just no protection there. For me the extra $10 is worth getting a quality case from a quality brand name that has actually been tested with real world use. You already spent $200 on the phone and are probably paying over $100 per month for your service, so why in the world would you cheap out on something as basic as a case?

If you’ve ever shopped around for an iPhone case then you already know that there are many available options, from high end luxury brands, to licensed sport logos, all the way down to the cheap $1 iPhone cases that get imported from China that come in many different bright colors. But one type of case that is getting very popular and is in high demand is the battery charging case that allows you to use your iPhone beyond the normal time constraints because the case can actually act as a battery for your iPhone while you carry it around with you all day.

The benefit of this is very obvious for those users who tend to drain through their battery life before lunch but even if you aren’t a power user like me you can still get a lot of use out of these types of cases. First of all there is no need to worry about your battery usage, even on days when I don’t use my iPhone that much I have to make sure that I don’t have any battery draining apps open and if I’m going on a long car trip I always have to double check to make sure I brought my car charger. With these new types of cases you don’t really have to worry about that because even if you do run low on juice you have a handy solution for recharging right there on your iPhone.

Another advantage is for when you’re traveling, if you go to another country that uses a different type of outlet then it can be very hard to find an adapter on the go and outside of your hotel room, but with the backup battery in the case this doesn’t become an issue that you have to keep in the back of your head all day. Now there is one downside to these great advantages of as with most things in the tech world its the price. Yes these cases can cost about 5x as much (around $40-$60 for a quality case) but in the long run its worth it if you often find yourself staring at the low battery warning and not knowing what you’re going to do for the next 4 or 6 hours that you’ll need to use your phone.

If you’re interested in such a case then you should head to amazon or ebay, both have the lowest prices from highly rated sellers.

There is no doubt about it that by now you have heard of the world famous Apple iPhone and if you’re reading this then there is a very likely hood that you own one, hey you might even be using one right now in order to read this article. The secret is out for sure, the iPhone is one of the most popular phones on the planet and while it has many great technological features we need to keep in mind that at the end of the day it is an electronic device and regardless of how advance the phone itself is there will always be a certain limit to the amount of damage the phone can take before it stops functioning normally.

For that reason alone you should consider getting an iPhone case, so that you not only keep your phone working for when you drop or scratch it but to protect the amount of money that you are spending both in terms of the actual upfront costs as well as the ongoing monthly contract that you are paying for your heavily subsidized cell phone. A high quality case can do a lot more for you then just protect your screen from scratches, which is a key feature, but it can also keep your phone safe from heavy use and unexpected drops that would probably cause severe damage to your iPhone if it wasn’t in a case.

For example if you’re like many iPhone users then you probably have many different photos, emails, and videos saved on your device which can be lost if your phone falls from a high enough height and the process for recovering that data from a phone can be very expensive, maybe even more expensive than the actual phone itself. Another factor to consider is the internal working parts that may survive a fall, but would be damaged such as your camera lens or your GPS chip which are things that would severely limit the features and functions of your phone.
