iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Cases

Phones are not what they used to be. Nowadays, they have become much more fragile. While you could have dropped your phone before and then slid the battery back into its place, dropping it now might cause internal damage and, not to mention, damage to the exterior that might be pretty expensive to fix. The newer iPhones now have a glass back, so your iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro cases must offer overall protection without sacrificing the slick look of the cellphone.

Desired Features in Your iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro Cases

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro cases’ main job is to protect your phone from all damage that might result from various accidents, but mostly from dropping it on a hard surface. When shopping for a new case, you first need to ensure a suitable model since each model differs internally and physically. The iPhone 14 Pro, for example, is 2.81 inches in width, 5.81inches in height, and 0.31 inches in depth, while the iPhone 14 is slightly smaller being 2.81 inches in width, 5.78 inches in height, and 0.31 inches in depth. In addition, you need to take note of the edges of the case, the grip, its drop protection, its thickness, and any extra features or designs it might offer.

Screen Protection

The best cases are the ones whose edges slightly protrude past the screen. If you drop your phone and it lands face down, the screen will not immediately impact the hard surface. Furthermore, ensure the case fully encompasses the phone and not just partially (e.g., the right and left edges only leaving the top and bottom vulnerable).

Good Grip

While cushioning your device’s fall is essential, preventing it together is the number one priority. Stylish iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 pro cases are all the rage, and shoppers seem to sacrifice a sturdy grip for an aesthetically pleasing and smooth look. The smoother it is, the more slippery it is. Online shopping for a case prevents you from testing out its grip. So, it is recommended that you shop in person for your iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Pro phone case.

Drop Protection

A durable case is nice, but you must look for a drop-proof one. When testing and listing their products, companies will mention the maximum height from which, if dropped, the phone is safe. It ranges from four feet (the average height of a table) to ten feet (the average height of a Christmas tree). The happy medium is a phone case drop-protecting your phone from up to six to eight feet in height.

Thick or Slim

This parameter entirely depends on your taste. Some people prefer a sleek design, while others cannot feel safe unless they have a thicker one. However, it is recommended to buy a thick case if you are a highly active individual, especially if you participate in extreme outdoor sports.
