Phone Case Materials Explained: Choose the Best Fit for Your Customers

Have you ever wondered what the different phone case materials, such as aramid fiber, polycarbonate, and TPU, actually mean? We understand that these materials sound strange. They may even confuse you when deciding on phone cases to add to your shopping list. But don't worry since we're about to demystify all the phone case materials and explain what purpose they serve below.

 

Best Phone Case Material for Heat

 

If you live in a warm environment or your smartphone tends to get hot, you'll want a phone case that dissipates heat quickly. We recommend you avoid overly thick cases, especially those made from rubber, silicone, and plastic, as these may trap heat inside and often have poor heat dissipation qualities. Instead, we advise that you consider the following phone cases:

 

● Aramid fiber phone case: Aramid is a material used in the military and aerospace industry, so it's highly durable and lightweight. It's also excellent at preventing overheating, provided the case is thin.

 

● Carbon fiber phone case: It's a highly robust and lightweight material used extensively in modern sports cars. Also, it's resistant to high temperatures, so it's a good option if you're using your phone in hot environments. However, due to its conductive properties, it can diminish your phone signal, so keep that in mind.

 

● Graphene phone case: This material is cutting-edge because it's made from pure carbon and extracted graphite. It has manufacturers excited because it's the world's strongest material, far surpassing diamond and steel. Furthermore, it offers outstanding thermal conductivity, even in a thin form factor.

 

● TPU phone case: TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane and is a plastic with elastic properties. It's used in many everyday products since it's highly resistant to oil, grease, and wear. Also, TPU provides an adequate amount of heat dissipation.

 

Best Phone Case Material for Protection

 

There's always a risk that you'll bump or drop your phone during everyday use. We recommend that you protect your smartphone with the following types of phone cases:

 

● Hard plastic phone case: Hard plastic material offers superior protection against direct impacts and scratches. However, due to its high rigidity and lack of elasticity, it's not as shockproof as a rubber phone cover.

 

● Polycarbonate phone case: Polycarbonate is a firm and hard material known for its excellent protective qualities. Phone case manufacturers love using this material because it's easy to shape.

 

● TPU soft silicone case: Silicone is a very shock-absorbent and durable material but tends to turn yellow and degrade over time. However, a silicone TPU case will still provide the long-term durability most users want. A popular choice is the transparent silicone cover because it doesn't hide the aesthetic beauty of the phone it protects.

 

● Rubber silicone phone case: Rubber silicone offers reasonably good drop protection. However, it tends to wear out faster than those manufactured from much harder materials and seldom provides the same level of all-around protection.

 

Recycled Plastic Phone Case

 

More customers are concerned about the environment and are switching to sustainable products. Instead of picking the ever-popular plastic mobile cover, a growing number of conscious customers opt for the following recycled phone cases:

 

● Compost phone case: The materials used in compostable cases usually consist of Flaxstic (bioplastic elastomer), Terratek Flex, and fibers procured from flax and hemp plants. These materials make a compost phone case incredibly biodegradable, which is good for the environment.

 

● Faux leather phone case: Materials like polybutylene succinate (PBS), Haptex 4.0, and MIRUM help make faux leather more recyclable. Faux leather made from nylon and polyester with a PVC or PU coating is not as recyclable and usually ends up in a waste dump.
