Seeing Beyond the Aesthetics of a Stylish iPhone Case

Many people purchase a stylish iPhone case mainly for aesthetic purposes, such as in the case of Swarovski-studded, gold-plated cases. While is a valid reason, you have to look beyond the aesthetics and appreciate the utilitarian function of an iPhone case!

Think about it: You may want to let everybody know that you can afford to splurge on a $650+Apple smartphone, especially its latest iteration. You want everybody to see the iconic Apple logo so you skip on the case.

And then the unthinkable happens! Your precious iPhone was damaged, partly because you were reluctant to spend $25 or so on an iPhone case. You will, by now, seriously consider its utilitarian function first and its aesthetic appeal second. Here are a few reasons to do so.

Too light, Too Thin

While the iPhone is the most advanced in features and the most beautiful in design, it’s just too light and too thin. You will find that in contrast with the ultra-durable Nokia 3310, your iPhone can easily break and bend. The iPhone case will add extra bulk to your smartphone to reduce its risks for breaking and bending, such as when you accidentally place it in your jean’s back pocket.

Too Expensive Phone Insurance

Yes, there’s such a thing as phone insurance, which costs $50 deductible and $10 per month – truly, an expense that you will likely skip on. Instead, you should just buy a luxurious wool iPhone case at a fraction of the cost and enjoy its benefits for several months to come – look, Ma, no additional charges! Think of it as your phone insurance, sort of.

Too Slippery

You will observe that the iPhone’s sleek and sexy design also contributes to a common issue – it’s just too slippery! Even when you adopt commonsense measures to keep your firm grip on it, accidents can happen especially when your hands become slippery in hot and humid temperatures. When you use a rubberized case, you are increasing the friction between your hand and your precious smartphone and, thus, reducing the risks that come with a very slippery surface.

Other utilitarian functions of even the most affordable minimalist iPhone case are:

• Cover up the dents, nicks and scratches that your smartphone has suffered when you refused to cover it in a case;
• Protect not just the screen but its overall case as well;

Indeed, if you are the type who takes his iPhone everywhere from the office to the bathroom, then an iPhone case makes sense! Plus, you will also be able to assert your individuality with a personalized case, which is where its aesthetic aspect comes in.
