When purchasing a phone, protecting it is likely to be one of the first things to cross your mind. No doubt that a phone case probably pops into your mind and so you begin to search for the one that will suit your needs best. With so many options though, it can be a bit overwhelming – and that’s before you even begin to dive into design and color options!
You may find yourself more immediately thinking of what you would like your phone case to look like. However, you should consider your lifestyle and what features you need your phone case to have to offer the best protection.

Waterproof
If you work on or near water, or just enjoy various water activities, you may want to consider a waterproof case for your phone. Accidents happen, and water can be particularly destructive to your phone. Not to mention water damage can be incredibly costly to repair. There are many options out there for waterproof cases, most notably LifeProof.

Heavy Duty
So maybe you don’t necessarily require protection from water, but you still need some pretty intense protection to get your phone through some pretty amazing adventures or to protect it while on a dangerous job site such as construction, to offer the utmost protection from drops and other accidents. You may begin thinking of Otterbox, as it’s quite a popular case for those looking for a bit more than just the standard protection, but there are plenty of options out there.

Standard Cases
Perhaps you’re pretty great at keeping your phone safe, and are just looking to add a bit of personality to your phone. Between hard cases and soft cases there is a bit of debate of which offers better protection but when it comes down to it both offer minimal protection. They’ll both offer a bit of shock absorption from a fall, but you certainly get a wide variety of design and color choices.
