Not so long ago, accessories for mobile phones and smartphones were at their peak. Each user tried to make his gadget unique and protect it from various external influences. So, more recently, silicone phone cases or bumpers were very popular. But nowadays, the popularity of such protection and personalization options is falling.
A smartphone case is able to protect the device from many damages and external influences. It will save you from light rain or minor scratches and keep your phone intact. However, in addition to positive factors, there are also negative ones. It is not so convenient to hold a phone in a case in a hand during a conversation, it does not fit into a small pocket, it is inconvenient to take it out of a pocket, and buying a cover is a waste.
The factors listed above are rather individual for each user. But there are several very important disadvantages that do not depend on a person's personal perception.
A smartphone in a case constantly collects fine dirt and it is somewhat more difficult to clean it than from a smartphone without a case. This dirt builds up after prolonged use and becomes sticky when it gets in. As a result, the phone looks very unfavorable, and excess particles can get into the microphone or speaker and lead to their damage.
In addition, excess moisture accumulates under the cover. If a smartphone without a case begins to dry out instantly when you take it out of your pocket and put it on the table, then the device in the case dries much more slowly.
Also, you need to remember that all modern powerful devices emit a large amount of heat during operation. On a sunny hot summer day, the heat transfer from the case is not great anyway, since the smartphone is either in your pocket or in your hands. If we add to this a heat insulator in the form of a silicone case, then the heat transfer will become even less, and the phone will overheat more often.
Don't forget about the high cost of phone cases. Sometimes an inexpensive gadget only costs twice as much as a suitable case.
Thus, a case for a modern smartphone is just a fashionable accessory that, if used incorrectly, will only hinder the owner of the gadget. There is no need to be guided by the times when it was impossible to use a mobile phone without a protective case. The presence of buttons made the phone much more vulnerable to moisture and dirt, and at the same time did not require the user to constantly touch the touchscreen. Today, it is much more correct to purchase a protective glass for a smartphone and a special protective bumper.
