Phone Cases

Phone cases provide your smartphones with maximum protection. They come in a variety of materials and designs. Some are as follows:

• Transparent Phone Cases: They are also made of TPU, but a very thin and slim one. They are transparent, so the actual design of your smartphone will be visible. Also, they don’t provide a high level of protection, just enough to prevent your phone from scratches.
• Leather Phone Cases: This kind of cases is made of premium leather while providing your smartphone with good protection. Moreover, due to its material, they feel really smooth and soft when you hold it in your hand.
• Dual-Layer Phone Cases: If you are looking for some killer and serious protection for your phone, then these are the ideal choice. With their dual layers, these cases will provide your smartphones with ultimate protection and strength to all the roughness.

Phone Skins

Phone Skins were unknown to the world until a few years back until dBrand, a company made them famous. Now, phone skins are in high demand and are being manufactured by numerous companies in different and unique designs.

The only material used to manufacture phone skins is Vinyl. Yes, all the phone skins are only made of one material. Vinyl is a material obtained through Poly Vinyl Chloride, a synthetic plastic. Phone skins, made from Vinyl, are known to be strong, sturdy, and durable.

All phone skins are manufactured through vinyl, however, they all do not feel the same. All phone skins have different textures – soft or hard, and different unique designs to choose from.

Phone Case vs Phone Skin: Which is better?

Now that you have gone through all the essential details of both, you will be able to easily tell the difference and choose which one you need. But if you ask us, we think phone cases are the best. Why? Because in order to protect our precious smartphones from all the wrath, phone cases are the ideal choice. No matter what the material, each one of them can minimize the possible damage caused by accidents. Also, along with the backside, phone cases can efficiently protect the front side of our smartphones too.

Coming to the phone skins, there is no doubt that with their unique and bright designs, they will surely make your phone stand out and attract people’s attention. But when it comes to ultimate protection, phone skins fail at it. They can protect your phone from scratches, undoubtedly, but one single drop and your smartphone can shatter.

However, if you just want your phone to look good, go ahead and get a phone skin. But if you want aesthetics and protections both, then why not go for the phone covers? They also come in various unique designs and the essential part, guaranteed protection too.
