32. Slim case
Case- one of the most popular and diverse types of accessories. Even the most zealous iPhone aficionados admit that only a protective case can protect your smartphone from scratches and damage. Only a cover can change the look of a mobile device beyond recognition, give it individuality and emphasize the good taste of its owner.
Manufacturers of iPhone cases set themselves several tasks: to create an unusual, convenient and stylish product that will make the process of using a smartphone safe and comfortable. Today we will try to review all kinds of cases available for the iPhone.
Types of iPhone cases
Case- the simplest and most common type. The case-case is a kind of pouch without slots for connectors. The only drawback of this design is the possible inconvenience when removing the smartphone from the case. The Moshi SenseCover is a prime example of a case.
Case with ponytail implies the presence of a small tab on the end of the case, which makes it easier to remove the smartphone from the case.
Pouch-pouch has a lace at the end that closes the cover by pulling together. Usually the lace has a length that is comfortable for wearing the lace on the hand. There are also models of pouches that are closed with a zipper. The fastening principle depends on the preference of the user. The drawstring on the wrist allows you to keep the case with you at all times, the zipper is more practical and eliminates the possibility of accidental opening of the case (for example, in a bag).
Case-folder means packing the smartphone horizontally by lifting the lid. Modern models of folder covers are equipped with built-in magnetic clasps that securely fix the smartphone inside. Such models have special fasteners that allow you to attach the covers to a belt or belt.
Clamshell cases differ from cases in that they are conventionally divided into two halves. The top folds out like a lid, providing quick access to the iPhone's touch surface. Clamshell cases usually provide slots for the main connectors of the smartphone, giving users the ability to connect headphones / headsets or charge the smartphone without removing the case. At the same time, it is convenient to put such a case in a bag - a hard cover will reliably protect the phone from possible damage.
Some clamshell covers have slots for accessing certain information, such as the current time, SMS messages, or pending calls. Other models even have slots for answering calls. The disadvantages of clamshells include a single fastener in the middle of the lid. Magnetic fasteners sometimes get on the touch screen and leave marks on it, and slots open access to dust and other small particles that contaminate not only the screen, but also the phone connectors.
Clamshells with internal pockets have caused a mixed response from the user audience. A number of pockets are located on the inside of the case, and the exposed edges can damage the tablet screen. It is not for nothing that most manufacturers trim the inside of the covers with microfiber and other soft materials. On the other hand, such models are suitable for business people and those who prefer to keep everything with them (credit cards, a small amount of not unforeseen expenses, possibly documents) - it is for such cases that wallet covers were invented.
When purchasing clamshell covers, special attention should be paid to the internal mounts of the smartphone. A frame around the entire body of the device is considered ideal, which not only fixes the phone securely in the case and protects its ends from scratches.
Holster case has a hard case with a clasp. A feature of this model is its versatility. The holster case can be even larger than the phone - the interior does not damage the smartphone, and the clasp on the cover securely fixes the device inside. There are many options for this type of cover, from Velcro to magnet. To use a holster case, you need to be prepared for the fact that the smartphone will have to be constantly pulled out. In this case, the case does not complement the smartphone, but becomes the outer shell and protection of the iPhone case. True, currently there are models with slots that open access to the connectors of the smartphone.
Bumper- a kind of cover that protects only the sides of the smartphone or the sides and the back. The phone screen remains unprotected, even though the edges of the case protrude above the screen. Due to its design, the bumper will protect the screen of the smartphone, which is on a flat surface with the screen down. At the same time, many manufacturers claim that the smartphone will remain intact even if it falls on a concrete floor. Many people prefer to use a bumper complete with a protective film. Bumpers are the most innovative model among modern covers, but also the most controversial. It can be categorized as "try it, then buy it."
Cover-cover (pad) protects the back and sides of the phone. It is a cover that literally becomes a second skin for a smartphone. Covers-overlays are hard and soft, depending on the material used. The advantages of this model include the subtlety and visual invisibility of the case on the phone. Cover plates have a wide variety of colors and style options. In addition, the pads have good shockproof properties. For maximum protection of iPhone from mechanical damage, it is recommended to use a cover-case together with a protective film.
Sports covers created specifically for people leading an active lifestyle. Sewn from moisture-resistant durable materials that can withstand active physical activity. Sports covers are equipped with special mounts that allow you to fix the cover on your arms, legs, chest and even your head. It is known that the iPhone has dozens of sports applications that allow you to optimize running and cycling training, skiing, fitness and other sports training. It is to ensure the safety of the smartphone in conditions of fitness loads that sports covers were invented. Their only drawback is their nondescript appearance.
Extreme cases live up to their name. They are made for extreme pastime. Such cases can withstand extraordinary loads: the smartphone can be immersed in water, the cover can withstand colossal loads and is able to withstand the penetration of moisture, dirt and sand. A feature of such models is their peculiar appearance and difficult access to the functionality of the gadget.
Cover materials
There are many material options for each of the models presented above. Some are practical to use, the second are fashionable, and the third are attractive due to their unique properties.
Leather Case. Currently, covers are produced from natural and synthetic leather (leatherette). Moreover, the latter, in its quality, sometimes surpasses even the “natural product”. Leather cases perfectly protect the smartphone from moisture and external damage (scratches and bumps), and the durability and elasticity of the material has been tested by time. Respectable appearance and variety of stylistic solutions make leather cases attractive to a wide consumer audience. Manufacturers have learned to combine different materials, create amazing colors and patterns, and apply decorative ornaments and graphic elements.
Silicone cases pleasant to the touch, fit the smartphone tightly, are varied in patterns and colors, thanks to the dense silicone used in production. The disadvantages of this material include the fact that silicone attracts dust to itself, is prone to stretching and, as a result, tears. At the same time, silicone cases are quite budgetary in price and practically do not increase the weight and dimensions of the smartphone.
Cloth cover also budgetary in price and diverse in implementation options. Manufacturers use all kinds of fabrics, from cotton to felt. In addition to various bases, a huge list of decorative elements is used in the manufacture of fabric covers: beads, leather trimmings, embroidery, buttons, sequins, beads, lace, sequins, etc. Those who prefer this material often prefer to have several fabric covers in order to choose the style according to the mood and events. Fabric covers are easy to manufacture and process, which is why hand-made lovers prefer this material for their creative research and the creation of unique covers.
Wooden covers belong to the category of environmentally friendly materials, bamboo is most often used in their production. They are quite lightweight, provide reliable protection to the device and give their owner the warmth of a real tree. Manufacturers offer thousands of options for engraving on cases and several colors. The cost of bamboo covers is higher than that of analogues. But the presentable appearance and original material justifies the means.
Modern plastic covers made from high-tech materials such as polycarbonate and polyurethane. Plastic covers are resistant to wear, deformation and abrasion. Due to the fact that plastic cases are selected exactly to the size of the smartphone, they practically do not increase the size of the iPhone and securely fix it inside the case. It is worth noting that of all types of covers, plastic ones have the most daring and wider design solutions. Drawing technologies allow you to create any images and decorate your smartphone with unusual details. Users looking for something unusual should pay attention to the photo cases.
Metal cases can be called brutal. They are quite massive, but they reliably protect the back cover and ends from damage and scratches. The cost of metal covers is classified as "above average". Such a solution will suit people with extraordinary tastes and views who want to create real iron armor for their smartphone. An example of a metal case is the KLOQE aluminum accessory.
Branded covers specially highlighted in a separate category. These are the cases that smartphone manufacturers release as the perfect complement to their product. They can be made of a combined material and are ideally suited to the dimensions of the device - after all, who knows the dimensions and features of their product better than the manufacturer.
Conclusions: When choosing a case for iPhone, you need to focus on usability, stylistic preferences and tactile sensations. A good case emphasizes the individual characteristics of its owner, reliably protects the smartphone from damage and helps to complement the image created by Apple designers in an advantageous way.
Continuation of the four-inch line of smartphones from Apple, and since it looks like an analogue of the iPhone 5s, I want to once again raise the topic of shockproof cases for these smartphones.

The headphone jack is covered with a special cap, which can be easily removed from the case and inserted into the headphones. Other ports and buttons are also protected. For Russian users, this case is a great addition to the iPhone.
R-JUST Protective Case for iPhone SE / iPhone 5s
Accessory maker R-JUST has become renowned for testing all of its cases under extreme conditions. All cases of this company have a protective-hard shell, in the middle of which there is a soft part that absorbs part of the impact. Also in the case there are auxiliary shock-absorbing pads at the corners, they also gild, part of the impact when falling. The cover comes with a screen protector, but most users use Gorilla Glass.
This shockproof case protects the ports, but they are easily accessible. In short, the manufacturer did its best. If this case has passed extreme tests, then during everyday use it will not fail either.

That concludes my roundup of the best shockproof cases for iPhone 5S and iPhone SE. Want to know more? Be sure to check out my list.
With the introduction of the irresistible iPhone 5 smartphone to the consumer market, many manufacturers began to produce protective and related accessories for this model. If you own an iPhone, then you are definitely interested in the question: which case is better for the iPhone 5S, how to choose the right case for the iPhone SE. After all, a properly selected protective accessory will preserve the pristine beauty of your device for a long time and emphasize your individuality.
Today, a huge number of manufacturers, including branded ones, produce a huge number of all kinds of covers from different materials and different form factors. Any cover is designed to protect the device from a variety of dirt and damage.
The design and decoration of protective covers is absolutely varied. You can choose a classic case, a minimalistic case, a glamorous case, a case decorated with rhinestones and stones, a case with flowers, a case with any image, a case in the style of cars or motorcycles. On our site there is a huge selection of protective accessories that are right for you.
If you choose a case for the iPhone SE, based on the form factor of the accessory, then your choice includes protective cases in the form of:
The overlay that is worn on the back panel. Such a case does an excellent job of protection, which mainly covers the back and side panels of the device. Some cases can also protect the display, thanks to the raised border around the screen. The overlay does not block access to controls, buttons, connectors, and the camera with flash. The accessory can be an ultra-thin classic overlay or a bright and stylish decoration for iPhone 5S;
- notebook or books... The difference between these cases is that the cover opens vertically in a notebook case, and horizontally in a book case. Such cases protect the smartphone from all sides, have additional holes for all controls, speakers, buttons and for a camera with flash. Most of these products have a durable plastic frame and a soft lining inside so as not to damage the surface of the device;
Bumper, which is worn on the end of the smartphone. The bumper can be made from a variety of materials and consist of several parts, which are fixed with bolts. The bumper can only protect the display and the back of the smartphone if it falls on a flat surface. Such bumpers are convenient for their lightness and small size;
Pockets, such a cover is made of leather, fabric or other soft material. The pocket protects the device from all sides, has a special pull tab for easy removal of the smartphone from the accessory. The disadvantage is that it does not have special holes for connectors, cameras, speakers. There may be holes in the speaker area so that you can hear the sound of an incoming call or SMS;
Boxing, this type of case provides perfect protection, because the smartphone is located in the so-called closed box. These covers can be waterproof or shockproof. They protect under the most extreme conditions.
If you choose about the material from which the case is made, most likely you are wondering which case is better for the iPhone 5S, silicone or plastic, leather or metal, wooden or fabric case. The most durable material, of course, is the aluminum (metal) case for the iPhone SE. But plastic covers are also not in the last place. Plastic material is ubiquitous and recognized for its toughness, it doesn't crack or burst. Silicone or gel case for iPhone SE is very soft, easy to put on, excellent protection. Such material is not afraid of large temperature drops, does not turn yellow and does not tear.
A special place among protective covers is occupied by designer covers. Their striking, compelling and unique designs are mesmerizing. These covers include bulky covers, 3D covers, covers in the form of a camera, a cat, a cartoon character, in the form of food and any other manifestation of the designer's imagination.
