Therefore, for owners of expensive smartphones, it is recommended to consider buying a case with camera protection (such an accessory will definitely come in handy when traveling and for outdoor activities).

The following types of materials are most often used for the production of mobile cases:

Silicone - this material is durable, resilient and tightly attached to the mobile phone. These settings provide a reliable level of protection and safety for your smartphone in case of drops, shocks, as well as dust, sand or moisture. Silicone is most often used for the manufacture of linings and bumpers, it has any color, even transparent and includes prints.

Plastic is a practical type of case material with protection against dirt and moisture. The disadvantage of plastic is its fragility, which does not guarantee reliability from damage if the smartphone falls.

Leather is a reliable and durable material with an attractive style. Leather accessories for a smartphone are expensive and do not guarantee protection in case of serious falls. Leather for the manufacture of cases can be natural or artificial. Most often, such material is used for book-size cases and cases.

Polyurethane and polycarbonate are tough materials with a high degree of protection for a smartphone. Can be used to make overlays and books.

Metal - most often used in the manufacture of shockproof models, which guarantees maximum protection against strong impacts. The cost of metal cases, as a rule, is quite high.

Finding the right mobile phone case comes from a wide variety of options and simple selection criteria:

By phone model

When choosing a mobile case, it is important to consider the compatibility of the accessory with the device in terms of size, dimensions, cutouts for connectors and the rear camera. This criterion divides cases into two types:

1. Special - designed for a specific smartphone, ideally compatible only with a specific model.
2. Universal - can be suitable for different phone models, differ in holes or inappropriate sizes.

By appearance

The choice of cases in terms of appearance and design has no limits: unusual prints, bright colors, pictures, photographs, individual logos. Today, it is possible for each user to order the application of any drawings on the case. Such services are available from print companies or online retailers that can provide them.

The catalog of the brand Gelius presents a category of various and stylish cases for every taste. Search, filters and convenient labeling on the brand's website allow you to choose the right accessory models according to the corresponding smartphone parameters.

By case material

Most of the characteristics of protective accessories depend on the materials of their manufacture. That is why it is important to consider accessories in order to protect the gadget as a priority. Any modern technology needs user-provided protection: tablets, smartphones, iPhones, wireless headphones, smart watches, and so on.

The table above shows that any cases can have their advantages and disadvantages, which should be taken into account when choosing an accessory material.

By size

The dimensions of protective cases must correspond to the parameters of the device for which the accessory is selected. That is why it is better to purchase a special case that fully corresponds to the dimensions and dimensions of the smartphone model. This approach will be very relevant when ordering online without the possibility of a preliminary fitting of the accessory.

Universal models of cases can also fit in size, but to understand this, you need a mandatory fitting.

By color

The choice of protective cases by color should be based on the taste preferences of the user. The choice of mob accessories is so wide that it allows you to find options for any color palette for women, men, children and teenagers.

The main factor of any smartphone case is not only the bright color, but also the ease of use.

The range of mobile accessories from Gelius allows you to choose cool models of cases for popular smartphones: iPhone Apple, Huawei, Realme, Oppo, Samsung, Xiaomi and so on.

By level of protection

Cases to protect smartphones have a certain degree of protection and are divided into two categories:

1. Partial level of protection - provides for the safety of certain areas of the smartphone or protects against damage of a certain type.
2. Full degree of protection - designed to case the entire surface of the mobile phone, which provides protection against mechanical damage and moisture. These models include books, flips, shockproof.

Smartphones, like other smart gadgets, are not insured against breakage and damage during falls so that the devices remain safe and sound. Unfortunately, any owner could encounter such a problem when using the device.

To solve this problem, various protective accessories were invented that can protect devices from damage: films, glasses, cases, vinyl stickers with a nice design.

For full protection of the smartphone, it is enough to supplement the case with a protective glass.

Given the wide range of various offers on the mobile accessories market, some manufacturers present cases with unusual decor in the form of rhinestones, sparkles, or original accessories in the form of animals, popular cartoon characters and videos.

Such options are very diverse in decor, but do not provide additional protection for the smartphone.

A high-quality and reliable phone accessory is a useful purchase and a good gift for relatives and friends. Some models of stylish cases allow you to apply original printing, drawings and prints.
