3 features of a summer-ready iPhone Case

Summer is that time when people are always outside enjoying the sun. Some go to the beach to enjoy the wind, sand and water. Some go for a little hike to breathe some fresh mountain air. While some simply go to the nearby park and have fun with friends and loved ones. Whatever you may be doing outside, one thing is for sure: You have to make sure your phone is safe and is able to withstand tough environments.

So I came up with the 3 things my iPhone case should be able to do so I can make sure my phone is safe this summer.

1. The case should be able to really protect against scratches. I highlighted the word “really” because I’ve tried some cases that didn’t actually protect my phone against scratches.

2. The case should be able to protect against water. If you’re going to the beach or any water park, this is a requirement! Don’t let your phone die just because it got exposed to moisture. Granted, there are times when it depends on the phone itself. But if you know you’ll be going to a “wet environment” with the possibility of people throwing you into the water, get a waterproof phone case.

3. The case should be able to protect the phone when dropped. When I bought my iPhone 5 at Best Buy a couple of months ago, the guy recommended that I purchase an iPhone case because this thinner iPhone might not be able to survive a 5-foot drop. Knowing my clumsy self, I took his advice and bought one. True enough, just a couple of days after that, I dropped my iPhone in the parking lot as I got out of the car. My iPhone’s still good, thank God! These are the types of phone cases you need to protect your phone, especially when you plan on making memories this summer. But I’ve had other cases that just came off of my phone when I dropped it.

Choosing the right phone case can be tricky since you don’t really know how good it performs until you actually use it. But let me just say that most of the cheaper ones I got were not as good as the ones where I had to spend a few more bucks.

You can check out a wide range of phone cases at the Best Buy website! Currently, they have an offer for 10% off your purchase of any Mophie iPhone case which helps you save some money as you make sure your phone is safe.

Top 3 Features of a Summer-Ready iPhone Case — 18 Comments

  1. These are very good points as my mom has dropped her phone in the toilet.

  2. I’ve seen people get tossed in the pool…There are so many ways a phone can get ruined.

    • I got to go in the pool with the phone in pockett.not to cool.Thanks for sharing

  3. Very good points for Summer – esp the one about being waterproof – but they are great of all year-round as well! I’ve also heard that if you do get your iPhone wet, you submerge it in rice, although I can’t say if it works since (thank goodness) I’ve never had to try it!

  4. I need to find a good case for my phone. It should definitely have these features!

  5. I don’t have an iPhone but love these ideas for the phone we do have. Also need a good waterproof case for my iPod.. Thanks for sharing these wonderful ideas. 🙂

  6. Thanks for the information. I unfortunately have a droid and it’s the slide keyboard one. There’s truly no great case for it. I love the Iphone cases or the otterboxes that they sell. I wish I could find something better for my phone.

  7. is a good product and very practical, with three benefits in one, I love the idea

  8. I don’t have an iphone, but these are great points for purchasing any phone case. I like having one that’s rugged, but slim so it’ll still fit in my back pocket 🙂
