Here are the five most important issues to consider when choosing which phone case to buy for your smartphone.

• Phone Model.
• Type of Protection.
• Fashion.
• Function.
• Price and Quality.

The most common problem brings customers to repair shops is shattered glass screens. Screens are particularly vulnerable to shattering if the point of impact is at a corner of the phone, where the force exerted on the glass is more concentrated.

For a baseline level of protection, choose a case made of a shock-absorbent material (like silicone or rubber) that covers your phone’s vulnerable corners. advises smartphone owners against plastic cases, which do not effectively absorb shock and are likelier to translate any impact to the device itself.

Beyond that, what you buy depends on how and where you use your phone. A slim case may be fine if you’re confident you’ll only subject your phone to everyday bumps and minor drops.

Cases with thick, bulky shells add more weight and absorb greater shock.
