Case options

When choosing a case, it is important to determine what is most important to you, protection or style. If you are a person who is prone to dropping their phone a lot, then it is probably best that you go for something that has a little bit more protection rather than a stylish slim profile case. But, if you are also wanting to go for style and are also in need of a more protective case, you’re in luck; because there is such a thing as a hybrid available form a decent amount of brands!

Style

For those that are particularly good with protecting their devices, slim profile cases are available that come with a flare of style. My favorite brands have been Tech 21 as well as OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cases. Both have produced cases for quite a few years now that I have personally enjoyed.

Here are some of my favorites I recommend:

  • Tech 21 Pure Clear Case

  • Samsung Silicone Case

Protection

If you are even remotely careful with your case, but are someone who does a lot of construction or outdoorsy things with their phone, then I definitely recommend you go down this path when choosing a case for your smartphone; trust me, you’ll thank me later. These cases are a relatively on the bulkier side, but at that cost comes double the protection. It’s worth it the end in my opinion.

What to consider when purchasing a new smartphone

Top Smartphones

Performance

Nobody wants a phone that can’t perform for the tasks that the user throws at it. Especially if you are a busy person who needs to field a lot of phone calls as well as emails from their phone, it is important your phone is able to keep up with what you rely on it for.

Display

This is important because most cellphone users are smartphone users, and therefore are doing a lot of reading on their smartphone. It needs to be able to live up to its price point.

Battery Life

One of the most important things to consider is battery life. If a phone is not able to handle at least moderate usage to get you through your day, then it is probably not the phone for you.
I recommend checking out reviews on YouTube of the phone you are considering purchasing to see what those reviewers have to say about that phone. It can give a great frame of reference to if the phone is for you.

Camera

A popular saying goes, “the best camera is the one you have with you.” The camera that someone typically has with them presently is their smartphone. To have a decent camera with you considering you have your phone with you all the time is a win-win.
