Common mistakes when choosing phone cases and how to avoid them

27.05.2025 - David

Introduction

Choosing the right HandyPhone case can often be tricky. Many of us have bought a case only to realize later that it wasn't the optimal choice. In this article, we'll go through common mistakes in selecting HandyPhone cases and provide you with valuable tips on how to avoid them. Whether you're a fan of Glided designs like 'Hearty' or 'Emerald Dragon' or prefer the functionality of a Tough Case, it's important to find the right case for your smartphone.

Mistake 1: Incorrect Fit

One of the most common mistakes is selecting a case that doesn't perfectly fit your smartphone model. Many people buy a case that fits various models without realizing that the cutouts for cameras and ports do not always align. At Glided, we ensure that every case is specifically made for the respective model. Make sure that the case is designed for your specific smartphone model, whether it's an iPhone, Samsung, or Huawei.

Mistake 2: Neglecting Protective Function

Not every case offers the same level of protection. While some cases serve merely an aesthetic purpose, others like our Tough Cases are specifically designed to absorb shocks and falls. If you lead an active lifestyle or are often on the go, it’s advisable to look for a protective case that offers adequate safety. Ensure that the case is made from high-quality materials and meets your needs.

Mistake 3: Influence of Design

Design plays a significant role in case selection but is often viewed as secondary. Many buyers choose primarily based on aesthetics, while forgetting functionality. Glided offers a variety of designs that not only look good but are also practical. Make sure that the design of your favorite case is also functional and does not restrict the device's usability.

Mistake 4: Value for Money

Another common misunderstanding is that more expensive cases are always better. It's important to assess the value for money. Look at reviews and materials to ensure you are getting good protection for your money. In our Glided shop, we offer high-quality cases at fair prices, so you don’t have to spend too much to get good protection and style.

Mistake 5: Insufficient Information on Features

Before purchasing, buyers should also educate themselves about the features of each case. Some cases offer additional features like MagSafe support or crossbody options. For example, our MagSafe Tough Cases not only provide the protection you need but also allow you to use MagSafe accessories. Research the different options to make use of the functionalities that are beneficial to you.

Mistake 6: Ignoring Customer Reviews

Customer reviews are an excellent source of information. Many buyers ignore the experiences of others and make their decisions solely based on appearance. Check the reviews on platforms like Amazon or eBay to get a realistic impression of the quality and durability of the case. At Glided, you can count on a variety of positive reviews that confirm the quality of our products.

Mistake 7: Missing Return Policies

A common mistake is not paying attention to return policies. Sometimes dissatisfaction can arise after purchase, and not every company offers a fair return policy. Glided provides a generous 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can shop with confidence without taking risks.

Mistake 8: Choosing Non-Eco-Friendly Materials

In today's world, environmental awareness is crucial. Many buyers are not aware of what materials are used in the cases. At Glided, we also offer biodegradable HandyPhone cases that are just as flexible and protective. Make sure to choose an eco-friendly option to reduce your ecological footprint.

Mistake 9: Lack of Customization for Needs

Every user has different needs, whether in design, functionality, or level of protection. Make sure to choose a case that meets your specific needs—be it charging options, card slots, or extra durability. Our various models like the Soft Case or the Crossbody Case offer different customizations tailored to various lifestyles.

Mistake 10: Forgetting Accessories

Sometimes buyers forget that they also need accessories to effectively use their case. For example, if you choose a case with MagSafe functionality, you may also need corresponding accessories to take advantage of this feature. Make sure to buy all necessary accessories together to have the best experience with your new case.

Conclusion

Selecting the right HandyPhone case can be a challenge, but with these tips, you can avoid common mistakes. Ensure you consider the right fit, the needed protection, and desired features. Whether you choose our Glided Tough Case or the eco-friendly option, what’s important is that you select a case that not only protects your smartphone but also complements your personal style. With a 30-day money-back guarantee and free shipping from us, you’re on safe ground when selecting your next HandyPhone case.
