In recent years, starting with Apple, smartphone companies have started to pay more attention to the design of the device, especially the color. The most enjoyable thing at each smartphone company's new product launch every year is the new color.
In response to user needs, new colors from each company are becoming more and more individualistic. Most people who want to keep the color of the device as it is use a clear case.
Clear cases have a simple design and look more sophisticated than character cases. They allow you to show off the stylish parts of your smartphone!
But how much do you know about clear cases?
What are TPU, PC, and glass materials?
What are the characteristics of each?
Today, NIMASO Trivia will talk about that.
First, let's look at TPU, a material that is currently commonly used for clear cases.
TPU is a type of plastic, officially listed as "thermoplastic polyurethane." It is a material that is now also used for tableware.
TPU material is plastic, yet it is also elastic and soft .
When you hear the word "soft," some people may think of silicone. Indeed, softness is one of the characteristics of silicone. In addition, silicone has a very high frictional force, so cases made from it tend to attract dust from inside your pocket or bag.
In addition, smartphone cases made of TPU material are harder than silicone, so they are less likely to slip off. They are also very attractive because they absorb shocks easily and are less likely to break. In addition, since they are made of plastic, they are less likely to get dusty, so you can use your favorite design for a long time.
Next, let's briefly explain about PC material
The most commonly used material for smartphone cases is PC, officially labeled "polycarbonate." It has the widest variety of products on the market. This material is highly impact resistant, yet easy to process. Therefore, there are many designs for PC case. In addition, it is reasonably priced, lightweight, and thin.
However, if you use a smartphone case made of PC material for a long time, the case will turn yellowish. This is because PC material deteriorates (it has low weather resistance) when exposed to ultraviolet rays and sunlight for a long time.
Finally, tempered glass material
The advantage of tempered glass material is its glossy finish. Because it is glass, it has a higher light transmittance than the TPU and PC materials mentioned above. This allows the color of the main body to appear more vividly.
However, because it is made of glass, it lacks flexibility. If you make a case out of it, it will be difficult to attach. For this reason, smartphone cases made entirely of tempered glass are rare.
NIMASO develops and sells clear cases for the iPhone 13 series , based on the characteristics of the three materials mentioned above.
This time, two types of clear cases for the iPhone 13 series have been created by combining flexible TPU material with glossy tempered glass material.
Tempered glass and two types of clear cases?
Yes, we have frosted glass cases for those who like the romantic or mystical feel of the old days.
Frosted glass clear cases have tiny scratches that cause light to reflect randomly on the glass surface, giving the case an overall milky white appearance, making the color of the device appear softer.
A regular tempered glass case will bring out the beauty and luster of the body color. This clear case is recommended for those who want to enjoy the color of the iPhone 13 series.
