While many people view phone cases as optional accessories, they actually serve a host of practical purposes that go far beyond protecting them from drops. If you want to avoid the expense of having to repair or replace your phone, here are the most practical reasons to get a phone case.
Most practical reasons to get a phone case
1. Smartphone repairs are costly
While it may not seem like a big deal to crack your screen or camera lens, it will cost you a bit of money to get your phone repaired. It doesn’t make sense to keep your phone unprotected just because most damage can be repaired. Consider the financial aspect because even if you have insurance, you’ll need to pay the deductible first. On top of that, you might damage your phone multiple times, creating several expenses that can easily add up to the cost of a new phone.
2. A broken phone can be an inconvenience
If your phone breaks and you need to send it in for repairs, you’ll need to go without it for quite some time. This may not be a big deal if you don’t have to use it for work or if you don’t need to stay in contact with a lot of people. However, if you’re involved in a group, like a dog rescue, you’ll be out of touch for a bit.
3. Some damage is permanent
Depending on the situation, if you damage your phone, it might be permanent in the sense that it will either be unrepairable, or will cost more to repair than your device is worth.
4. You’ll preserve your phone’s resale value
Phones that are kept in cases maintain their aesthetics and functionality more than phones that are kept bare. Although scratches and scuffs don’t typically impact the performance of a phone, it does lower the resale value by around 20-30%. Still, people are willing to buy phones with scratches for a slight discount. However, cracked screens and scratched camera lenses will drop the resale value of your phone significantly, and it may not sell at all.
