Nowadays, smartphones have become an indispensable item for many people, and many people use them as wallets instead of wallets, so choosing the right smartphone case to protect your smartphone is extremely important.
There are many materials used for smartphone cases, the main five being TPU, leather (genuine leather), silicone, polycarbonate, and glass. Each material has different characteristics and textures. How should we choose?
This time, NIMASO will take a closer look at the two most common smartphone case materials: PC and tempered glass, and compare their characteristics and advantages and disadvantages!

Most people look for three things when choosing a phone case : protection, feel, and appearance, so let's start with these three points today.
protection
PC smartphone cases are highly resistant to wear, impact, and shock, and are one of the most popular smartphone case materials available today.
It is more flexible than polycarbonate and harder than silicone, so its great advantage is that it is a well-balanced material in terms of strength.
It is easy to process into a smartphone case and is resistant to impacts when dropped.
On the other hand, it is also flexible and therefore less likely to break, and is a material that reinforces the weaknesses of plastic and silicone.
Unlike ordinary clear cases, NIMASO's clear cases have a high-hardness PC back that protects the camera lens, and the microdot processing technology on the inside prevents scratches and friction marks on the back of your smartphone.
NIMASO's clear cases are not just made from PC, but feature a TPU frame that absorbs shocks, prevents scratches and yellowing, and is durable, easy to put on and take off. It also comes with a strap hole for added security.
Ordinary tempered glass materials are hard and resistant to drops, but they have poor cushioning properties and are not good at protecting the top and bottom of mobile phones and smartphones.
However, NIMASO's glass case is not only made with 9H hardness glass on the back, but also with TPU material on the sides, which is flexible and soft, preventing scratches on your smartphone and making it easier to put on and take off the case.

It can be used as a notebook-style case, which is excellent for storage and protection, or the storage section can be removed.

Texture
The PC phone case is lighter and the material is smooth and comfortable to hold, while the glass case feels a bit heavy.
In contrast, glass cases don't feel cheap, have a delicate texture, and exude a sense of luxury when held in the hand.

Glass cases are made of thicker material, so they may not dissipate heat as well.
The PC phone case is thin and easily compatible with wireless charging.

PC phone cases are soft in nature, so they can act as a cushion and reduce impact when dropped better than glass cases.

The back glass of the NIMASO glass case is ultra-thin, allowing you to charge wirelessly without removing the case while still maintaining the protective performance of a clear case. This is extremely convenient as you don't have to remove the case when charging.
Appearance
As smartphones become more colorful, transparent phone cases are becoming popular.
NIMASO's PC clear case is highly transparent, and you can add your favorite photos and stickers to the back to create a unique case. Make your iPhone special with this easy DIY project!

The only drawback of transparent PC phone cases is that they tend to yellow easily, but NIMASO cases are made of a material that is resistant to yellowing, so they effectively prevent yellowing.
Furthermore, the one-piece molding technology allows the PC hard surface to be wrapped in TPU without the use of adhesives, providing excellent protection for the iPhone while maintaining its beauty.
NIMASO's glass case is extremely transparent and reproduces the vividness of the iPhone itself.

Of course, you can also DIY using a glass case.
The clear glass case is easy to create and is perfect for displaying your favorite photos or painting on top. Its high-definition, glossy finish makes it a great choice.
