How to Choose Cell Phone Cases from the Material
In a wide range of mobile phone cases, the material can be basically divided into two parts, hard cases with plastic material and soft cases with silicone gel. We could choose the style and shape according to our preference, so at the same time how to choose the better material?
The most popular mobile phone cases in the market now are for iPhone. For the reason that the original ones are much expensive, there are many fake ones with different quality in the market immediately. So how to purchase a good quality and not too costly mobile phone case becomes the biggest problem for iPhone users. As an editor for mobile phone accessories online store, we'd like to share some information about the material and crafts of mobile phone cases.
There are various kinds of mobile phone cases' material, for example, silica gel, TPU, PC, ABS, leather, metal and so on, which are most popular with people. Silica gel was more popular several years ago, while in recent years, its shortage stands out due to the development of more materials and crafts. Such as it has a poor heat dissipation performance and bad crafts, appears inferior and monotonous. At present, the most widely used materials are PC and ABS.
PC: The scientific name of the PC is polycarbonate, which is a kind of thermoplastic engineering plastics. PC material has a strong impact resistance, good toughness, high transparency, non-toxic and convenience of processing. In crafts, normally the maker will be plate pattern or spray rubber oil, or transfer-paint some other patterns on the PC cases to make them more innovative, refined and pretty.
ABS: ABS is comparatively a little harder. Pure ABS material is seldom used in making mobile phone protective cases for its disadvantages in heat resistance and impact resistance compared with PC material. But it has advantages in mobility, coloring, surface spraying and plating. There appears a new kind of craft which is called In Mold Decoration. Basically using ABS plastic material and the surface of PET. The advantage of this process is the richer pattern on the case surface, similar with transfer-printing process, but more refined than that, more perfect in details and more comfortable in hand.
