In recent years, smartphones have become more durable thanks to improvements in design and materials.
This makes super durable cases, once considered an effective protection solution for smartphones , no longer a reasonable choice for most users.
Modern smartphones are getting more durable
Smartphone manufacturers are now using more durable, high-quality materials, especially in high-end models. Consumers often buy super-durable cases to protect their expensive devices. However, many modern phones are equipped with Corning Gorilla Glass, Ceramic Shield, or metal frames such as aluminum or titanium to enhance impact resistance.
Additionally, many high-end phones are also water-resistant with an IP68 rating, allowing them to be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters deep for 30 minutes. Therefore, using a bulky case is not only redundant but also reduces the aesthetic appeal of the exquisite designs that manufacturers have worked so hard to create.
Bulky cases are inconvenient
Ultra-durable cases add a lot of bulk and weight to your phone. They can make your device twice as thick and heavier, making it difficult to use. Especially for high-end phones that weigh more than 200 grams, adding an ultra-durable case just makes them feel like bricks.
Furthermore, modern smartphones are designed with a thin and light body with high precision. Using a bulky case not only ruins the aesthetic beauty but also prevents users from fully enjoying the experience that the device brings. Although some people believe that cases help maintain the resale value of the phone, in reality, not many people make such transactions.
Not suitable for everyone
Rugged cases still have value in certain situations. They are great for people who work in harsh environments or who regularly participate in outdoor activities. In these situations, having extra protection is essential. However, for most users, a standard case with basic protection is enough to keep your phone safe in everyday use.
In fact, those who have a habit of dropping their phones frequently may want to consider investing in additional protection. However, for those who do not have this problem, a regular case will be a more reasonable choice. Users can choose thinner cases that both protect the phone and do not detract from the design of the product.
