2017 was a great year for Apple Smartphone users. News of the launch of Apple’s latest addition to the family spread like wildfire in the world, giving rise to anticipation and curiosity. The unveiling of Apple’s iPhone 8 and 8 Plus was nothing less than magic for users waiting all year for the phone’s launch. What makes the new iPhone 8 and 8 Plus different from its predecessors? Are there any new inbuilt features that elevate the status of this phone compared to previous models? Do the new additions in the Apple iPhone series justify their exorbitant price tag? Let’s dissect these questions in complete depth: What Is New? You’ll be surprised to know Apple has still retained the all-glass design and most of the same features of the iPhone 7. The company has played a safe game when it comes to design, performance, wireless charging, and other important specifications!   iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus Design Glass back body Glass back body (50% deeper strengthening layer) Performance A11 Bionic chip (25% faster) A11 Bionic chip with 4 high efficiency core processors Wireless Charging Debut of wireless charging Wireless charging using Qi technology Size & Weight 148 grams 144 grams Camera & Video Recording 12MP f/1.8 with better pixels, faster autofocus, and hardware noise reduction 4K video recording at up to 60 FPS and a Portrait Lighting mode Which Is Better – iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus? It can seem difficult to find the best offering from these two models seeing how similar to design specifications the iPhone 8 and Plus are to previous models. Yet there are some clear differences that help discover the verdict. Undoubtedly, the iPhone 8 Plus has a bigger and sharper screen (401 pixels per inch compared to 326) and a bigger battery life. The 8 Plus also features a dual-lens camera on the rear, which offers Portrait Mode and Portrait Lightening features for capturing beautiful pictures. Wondering how high the devices will cost your wallet? Starting from $700, the iPhone 8 is a more portable and affordable option.   However, keen gamers and on-the-video watchers will love the 8 Plus’s extra screen space (and sharpness), while photographers can finally leave their heavy DSLR behind on spontaneous trips. What about protection? Unfortunately, both phones feature an all new glass back body which demands extra protection in the form of a shockproof iPhone 8 Case.

Buying a good phone case or skin is an viable option but how to still make sure  the sleek design of the phone remains? This is where a phone skin comes in the picture. Benefits of Phone Skins Smartphone users especially those who have iPhones prefer showing as much of the phone as possible i.e. its design and shape. A phone skin helps maintain the shape and design of a device but also protects phone’s surfaces from unsightly scratches. Vinyl or silicone skins are the best as these items are easily removable and inexpensive to replace! What about the protection of the phone? A phone skin is slightly similar to a phone case when it comes to protection against accidental damage. You can buy phone skins in a variety of styles and colors – letting your personality shine though with just one choice.   Why Phone Cases Shouldn’t Be Left Behind? Good quality phone cases perform well in all departments as compared to a phone skin. One advantage of phone cases stands at top, namely device protection. A phone case provides maximum defense against accidental screen and surface damage, something a skin cannot offer. Additionally, a good phone case will also protect your phone from the harsh elements. Depending on your choice of mobile cases, you can also add the aesthetic element to your phone! There are a lot of options available that allow the mobile device to shine through as well because an iPhone is a beautiful piece of machinery! Your choice will ultimately determine the fate of your smartphone. You don’t want the device to fall and break in the first few months, do you? Look at these smartphone cases for Apple iPhone 8  from Shamo’s Cases and buy the best one for your phone! Phone Cases: Phone cases are typically made of durable materials such as plastic, silicone, or metal. They provide a robust layer of protection for your phone, shielding it from accidental drops, impacts, and scratches. Phone cases come in a variety of styles, colors, and designs, allowing you to personalize your device and showcase your personality. Some cases offer additional features like built-in card holders, kickstands, or waterproof capabilities. However, phone cases can add bulk and weight to your phone, potentially making it less sleek and pocket-friendly. Phone Skins: Phone skins, on the other hand, are thin vinyl or adhesive materials that adhere to the back and sides of your phone. They offer a slim and minimalist profile, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your device without compromising its original design. Phone skins come in various patterns, textures, and finishes, giving you the freedom to customize the look of your phone. They provide moderate protection against scratches and scuffs, but they are not as impact-resistant as phone cases. Skins are also easy to apply and remove, allowing you to change the look of your phone whenever you desire. However, phone skins do not offer the same level of drop or impact protection as phone cases. Factors to Consider: When deciding between a phone case and a phone skin, consider the following factors: Protection: If you prioritize maximum protection for your phone, especially if you are prone to dropping it or work in rugged environments, a phone case would be the better option. Cases provide better shock absorption and coverage for your device. Style: If you prefer a sleek and minimalist look and enjoy changing the appearance of your phone frequently, a phone skin is a great choice. Skins offer a wide range of designs and textures to suit your personal style. Usage and Lifestyle: Consider your daily usage and lifestyle. If you frequently engage in outdoor activities or have a physically demanding job, a sturdy phone case will provide better protection against accidental damage. However, if you handle your phone with care and prefer a slim profile, a phone skin can offer adequate protection against scratches and everyday wear. Conclusion: Ultimately, the choice between a phone case and a phone skin depends on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and priorities. Phone cases offer enhanced protection and additional features but may add bulk to your device. Phone skins provide a sleek and customizable look but offer limited impact resistance. Assess your needs, consider the level of protection you require, and choose the option that aligns best with your style and lifestyle. Remember, the primary goal is to keep your phone safe and looking great while reflecting your unique personality.   See Product   See Product   See Product   See Product You can also check these articles: Can Your Phone Case Scratch Your Phone?

Lastly, the screen, although it is the latest Corning Gorilla Glass, is still glass.

So, the logical thing to do is to invest in a Samsung S8 case. It is an expensive phone and you don’t want to be facing issues with it any time soon. What Is The Perfect S8 Case? Again, that depends.

How much did you buy your new Samsung S8 Plus for? We’d say roughly $750! Now, imagine if that god of a phone took a tumble down the toilet or from high up? Smartphones are expensive; especially one with 1.4μM image sensor, 8MP front facing, VR experience, and a Gear 360 that shoots in 4k and fits in your pocket. Yep. All that, and more! Doesn’t it make sense to encase your expensive investment in protective gear, to save the device from damage and breakage? A Better Grip A Smartphone such as iPhone 6S or Samsung S8 Plus without a phone case is really beautiful. However, the device’s sleek textures make it impossible to gain a good grip on the phone. Fortunately, you can now choose Smartphone cases that offer both aesthetics and a good grip. There is a misconception that cases offering non-slippage qualities are often bulky in weight and appearance. It depends on the manufacturer because there are some options that are slim-fitted yet also provide a gripping texture.   Scratch and Drop Protection Nobody likes to see scratches appear on their impeccable and smooth phone’s touch-screen. This is why encasing the device in a good quality Smartphone case makes sense – to protect the often fragile screen. Many manufacturers are introducing phone cases with shock proof technology, which converts shock when phone is dropped to dissipating energy. This ensures your phone is safe from breakage and damage even when falling from a good height.     It Protects in Extreme Temperatures Do you live in an area where temperatures can reach pretty high or low?

Accidental drops and bumps can damage your phone (possibly irreversible).   Investing in a good quality protective cover for your iPhone 11 is very important. Yet most people feel there isn’t any difference when it comes to Smartphone cases and cover, often outfitting their device in a low quality case. Here are some reasons why choosing a good quality iPhone case is a good idea.   A Bad Phone Case for Your Beloved Device – It Will Give   Stay away from the following characteristics of a bad phone case when looking for one: Poor Grip   It isn’t difficult to design and manufacture a cell phone case that offers good grip to the user. Smartphones today are more focused on their sleek and smooth design which looks amazing aesthetic wise but offers poor grip upon handling. However, your choice of iPhone case can increase or decrease your ability to hold the phone safely.   Does the case you have chosen offer a slick exterior? This means it needs finger grips to promote better handling. Is the exterior of your chosen case smooth? The case’s finish must be tactile and rubberized. A cheap low quality iPhone case won’t display such features. Fibrous Exterior   Cell phone cases that have cotton or other fibrous materials attached on the exterior don’t offer much in the name of protection. Yes, these cases do score a lot of points for being distinctive when new. However, this case starts to look terrible from wear and tear, which will happen overtime.   Worse still, this type of phone case doesn’t offer anything for shock protection when the phone is dropped. What Makes A Good Smartphone Case?   A good quality phone case must offer:   Increased Durability All cell phone owners have one thing In common – they drop their devices a lot. A study found that 19% of people drop their phones down the toilet. This isn’t surprising considering over 75% take and use their phones in the bathroom.   A durable, rugged and shock-proof phone case is required to prevent accidental damage.   A good phone case will cushion your phone against cracks and scratches as well as protect further from sand, dust, and water.       Good Construction This is an important consideration to make when purchasing a phone case. Its construction will also determine how durable the item is.   There are many materials phone cases are constructed from today, some better than others. However, newer construction of ABS polymer and thermoplastic offer:   Greater impact resistance Lower heat transference Higher transparency   Look for the best Smartphone cases for your iPhone or Samsung phones at Shamo’s Cases.

The Verdict Is Here – Rugged Phone Cases Perform Well In Protecting Your Smartphone! The job of a rugged Smartphone case is simple. Protect your device against rough treatment.

In fact, no other type of phone case does such an amazing job at protecting what’s encased inside. The question is how? Provides Three To Four Layers Of Sturdy Protection Unlike TPU plastic phone cases, this type of cover encases a phone in 3–4 layers of protection. The first is a soft silicon layer that cushions the device. A hard plastic layer is next, bringing strength and sturdiness to the case. The third layer is more for user comfort than additional protection although the added hard or soft layer does help with handling. Most Smartphone users with a rugged case outfit their phone with a second clip-on case that be attached to a belt holster and offers a screen protector, corner protectors and other features.
