Which of our iPhone cases is right for you?

So, you’ve just got your brand new iPhone and finally finished setting everything up now it's time to give it some much-needed protection because the last thing you want happening to your new iPhone is for it to get scratched or cracked.

As a general rule of thumb, there are three core styles of cases each with benefits and drawbacks that you need to consider before making your choice, there are the ultra-thin cases, the shockproof protective cases and the slim protective cases, each one has different levels of thickness, let's explain each one in a bit more detail.

SKNS THIN - The Ultra Slim iPhone Case

These are cases that have become increasingly popular in recent years as the average phone size started increasing over the 6.5inch mark, the basic principle being that you want lightweight protection that excels at keeping your phone safe from dust, dirt, scratches and scuffs without making your phone any bigger.

These cases are not shockproof or protective enough to guarantee safety from any drops so they are not ideal for anyone who either drops their phone regularly or throws their phones around without much care.

Where the SKNS THIN shines is its fantastic protection from scratches and general wear and tear that naturally accumulates over the lifespan of a phone, this is great because all the recent iPhones are quite expensive and usually hold a good chunk of their value even after a few years so you really want to keep your phone in perfect condition for longer to maximise how much you get back from your phone when it’s time to upgrade, also another big thing to consider is the new phones have much tougher glass compared to older phones so if you drop your phone rarely then this may be the best choice for you.

If you think the ultra-thin lightweight protection might be perfect for your needs then check out our line of SKNS THIN cases. 

SKNS SILICONE - Durable design for extra protection

The SKNS SILICONE cases are built with one main priority, extra protection within a slim shell, this is all to ensure your phone has the highest chance that it will survive a drop unscathed, please do note that no case can guarantee 100% certainty that your phone will survive with no damage as every drop is different but these cases will boost the chances by quite a lot.

Not only do these shockproof protective cases provide great drop protection, but they also offer much better protection from dust, dirt, scratches, general wear and tear and fingerprints thanks to the thick material, this means no matter the environment your phone will be safe and secure.

The SKINS SILICONE cases often also include a raised lip around the camera rig and front screen which protects the glass from picking up any hairline scratches after being left on a table or any flat surface, it works by creating a raised area which rests on the surface instead of your phone.

There are many benefits other than the shockproof silicone material's excellent durability, the SKNS SILICONE case has a softer material which means it's more comfortable in your palm, this also aids with grip as the texture makes it much easier to hold, this is a common issue many users complain about with the largest model phones. As these cases tend to be thicker than normal they are also more durable so they will remain in perfect condition for longer so your iPhone always looks clean.

So who’s this case for? This case is made for someone that often drops their phone or treats their phone to a rough lifestyle where there's a high chance the phone will be damaged, it's also an excellent choice for someone that has a hard time gripping their phone as the silicone material is soft and much easier to hold.

Think this could be what you are looking for, then check out our SKNS SILICONE case for all the protection you could need in a high-quality shell that feels great and looks even better!

SKNS CLEAR - The thin, durable and stylish iPhone case

The SKNS CLEAR is a case that sits in between the ultra-thin and protective cases. They are usually quite versatile, providing a small amount of shock protection, usually enough to survive a small drop, all within a slimmer shell that doesn't make your phone too difficult to hold and use.

These cases are very good at protecting your phone from general wear and tear while also including a slightly textured finish on the polycarbonate material to boost grip levels but they fall just short of providing full drop protection that would put your mind at ease. 

We chose to make the SKNS CLEAR case out of a harder polycarbonate material as this is usually the only way you would get extra protection from general wear and tear within a slim layer.

So, whos this case for? This is for someone that wants a thin case but likes having some reassurance that your phone will be safe if dropped, this is the perfect middle ground between having the ultra-thin and the shockproof protective cases giving a good balance between the two.

Think a slim protective cover is perfect for you then feel free to check out one of our SKNS CLEAR hard cases.
