What sets a flip case apart from a regular case?
The key difference is the flap: while a silicone case or a hard case only protects the back and edges, a flip phone case also covers the display. This is especially relevant when the smartphone is carried loose in a bag or backpack, where keys or coins could cause scratches.
Practical functions of a flip cover
Most flip cases offer additional functions beyond pure protection:
- Stand function: The opened case works as a stand for videos or video calls
- Magnetic closure: Keeps the flap securely shut
- RFID blocking: On selected models, protects cards from unauthorised scanning
Foldable phone case: who is it right for?
A foldable phone case is especially suited to anyone who frequently carries their smartphone out and about and doesn't want to keep switching between wallet and phone. If you're looking for even more mobility, our phone bags also include versions with a crossbody strap.
If you'd rather have the slimmest possible profile, a back cover is the better choice – though the display stays unprotected there, which is why a tempered glass screen protector is recommended as a supplement.
