iPhones are expensive devices, so you want to ensure that your investment is well protected. Phone casing is one way to do that, and various options exist.
The iPhone 14 case is a piece of material that covers the back and sides of your iPhone to protect it from scratches, dents, and other forms of damage. iPhone cases are made of different materials, such as plastic, metal, wood, and silicone. A case on your iPhone can also help prevent it from slipping out of your hand and getting dropped.
Since then, phone cases have become an essential part of the iPhone experience for many people. There are now a wide variety of iPhone cases available on the market, each with its own set of benefits and features.
Read along to know more about the 10 types of iPhone 14 cases you should know:
Charging Case
This type of case has a built-in battery that can be used to charge your iPhone. This is an excellent option if you are always on the go and need to keep your phone charged. Aside from this, charging cases can also provide extra protection for your iPhone through the additional battery layer.
A charging case, like the Apple Smart Battery Case, is suitable for those who are always on the go, need to keep their phone charged, and want an extra layer of protection for their iPhones. That said, iPhone charging case is not seen as often since most people do not want to carry extra weight. Even Apple has stopped making Smart Battery Case and released MagSafe Charger as an alternative.
For iPhone 14, you may grab a MagSafe Battery Pack or our MagEZ Slider to charge on the go.
Protective Case
Protective cases are designed to protect your iPhone 14 from scratches, dents, and other forms of damage. These cases are typically made of multiple rigid materials, such as aramid fiber, TPU or metal. This type of case is ideal for those worried about their iPhones getting damaged.
Among the strongest materials for protective cases today are aramid fiber and carbon fiber. These materials are not only strong but also lightweight and thin. As a result, they do not add much bulk to your iPhone. Protective cases may also have shock-absorbent materials such as silicone or TPU to protect vulnerable corners.
But carbon fiber phone cases have the risk of interfering mobile signals, so pay attention when choosing carbon fiber cases.
Aramid Fiber Case
Aramid fiber cases are among the most protective iPhone cases.
Aramid fiber is a heat-resistant, lightweight but strong synthetic fiber, an ideal material to make protective cases with a minimalist design. Besides, aramid fiber can be woven into smooth but not slippery fabrics that offer great comfort.
Aramid phone cases look somewhat similar to carbon fiber cases. As Aramid fiber is originally intended for aerospace and military use, the material is stronger and more resistant to abrasions.
If you want a slim aramid fiber case for your iPhone 14, don't miss the PITAKA MagEZ Case 3, the thinnest and lightest MagSafe case. If you prefer a more protective case, go for the military drop-tested MagEZ Case Pro 3. Both are made of aramid fiber.
Wooden Case
Wooden cases are typically made from real wood, but some are made from composite materials. These cases can be very durable, but they may not offer as much protection as some of the other options on this list.
The biggest edge a wooden case has is it's easily customized.
This case is best for people who want a natural yet unique and elegant look for their iPhones.
Silicone Case
Silicone cases are made of a soft, flexible, and shock-absorbent material, providing good protection for your iPhone. These cases are designed to provide a good grip and protect your iPhone from scratches and dents. But silicone cases could get sticky. Oils and greases easily cling on the surface of the silicone. Therefore, over time, silicone cases could be dirty.
Magnetic Case
Magnetic cases become a thing after Apple re-launched MagSafe. But before that, there were brands making magnetic cases. PITAKA is one of the pioneers in creating magnetic phone cases.
Usually, a magnetic phone case has built-in magnets, which allow you to attach your iPhone to surfaces like bike mounts and car mounts. You can also use magnetic cases to keep your phone connected to a wireless charger. Note that while some people love the convenience of magnetic cases, others find that the magnets can interfere with other devices or weaken over time.
Leather Case
Leather cases are another option if you are looking for something that is both stylish and functional. Leather is water-resistant, so leather cases can protect your phone from any drink spills. Moreover, leather will take on a patina over time, giving the case a unique style, though not every piece of leather ages in a beautiful way.
If you choose a leather case lined with microfiber, it can help keep your iPhone clean. There are many different colors and styles of leather cases available, so you should be able to find one that fits your personality.
Waterproof Case
This type of case is designed to protect your iPhone from water damage. Waterproof cases are typically made of plastic or silicone and have a watertight seal around the edges. As a matter of fact, most phone case materials are resistant to water to some extent except wood.
The level of waterproofing is measured by the IP (ingress protection) rating. The higher the IP rating, the more water-resistant the case.
These cases, like the Spidercase Waterproof Cases, are ideal for those who want to take their iPhones while swimming or snorkeling. Being adventurous and wanting to document your life through pictures and videos is no excuse for not protecting your iPhone!
Wallet Case
This type of case is designed to hold your iPhone and your credit cards, cash, and other items. These cases are usually made out of leather or silicone. Wallet cases could be a bit thicker, so they need space for cards etc. Bellroy makes some lovely wallet cases for various phone models.
Stand case
If you want to be able to prop your phone up to watch videos or take hands-free photos, you need a case with a built-in stand. These cases typically have a fold-out flap that can be used as a kickstand. However, this may add a lot of bulk to your phone.
If you use a stand case, make sure that the flap is secure and won't come loose when you're using it, as that could cause your phone to topple over.
Final Thoughts
Having a case on your iPhone is one of the best ways to protect your investment. However, as you choose your case, it is necessary to consider the different types of cases available and find the one that fits your lifestyle best.
