For many of us, it just makes sense to have a phone case. However, there are people who are hesitant to pick up a phone case. If you’re looking for reasons as to why you should invest in a phone case, we’ve got you covered. 

1. It can protect your phone from physical damage

This one is a no-brainer. Cases really do protect your phones. Even the best of us drop our phones sometimes, and it’s hard to prevent our phones from getting small scratches and dings. If you break your phone’s screen, you’ll often need to eventually get it fixed because it might stop responding to your touch. You could also smash your camera lens, which means your photos won’t look nearly as good if you can even take them at all. Depending on the case you invest in, you can waterproof your phone, help guard your phone against screen damage if it lands on one of its edges, protect your camera, or all of the above.

Don’t forget that adding gizmos like PopSockets to your phone can leave the back of your phone with a sticky residue, so why not let a case absorb that damage instead?

2. It can increase the future resale value of your phone

If you’re hoping to eventually upgrade your phone, it’s probably worth the investment to buy a phone case. If your phone has tons of nicks and little scratches or even is downright broken, you won’t get as high of a price if you plan to trade it in at a kiosk, through a trade-in program, or resell it to someone else. 

3. They can add personality to your phone

This seems like a minor point compared to the others, but it’s also true. There are some really cool phone cases out there. You can often pick the color of your case, or you can get a case with a nerdy design. There are tons of options online and in your local phone store. If you’re worried about hiding the design of the phone, get a case that really shows off your personality. You can even opt for a fully customized case with a photo of your choice printed on it.

Ultimately, you might find them annoying, but it’s a good idea for you to invest in a phone case. It’s just as important that you keep your phone clean and free of grime, or your phone case can actually trap dirt, hurting the finish and sometimes functionality of the phone. Most phone cases won’t protect your phone 100% of the time, and sometimes you can still damage or break your phone whether or not you have a case, but with phones topping out at $1,200 each nowadays, a $30-$40 case can help you hold onto your phone for a little bit longer with a little less wear and tear.
