What are the different types of cell phone case clips?

• Spring Loaded Belt Clip - Spring loaded belt clips are a stationary clip attached to the back of the case.  These types of clips are generally covered with leather.

• Standard Swivel Belt Clip - Swivel belt clips have two parts.  The spring loaded clip portion attaches to a belt, purse, visor, or other item.  The back of the case has a button which slides and locks into the spring loaded clip.  Releasing the case is as easy as pushing the button on the clip and lifting the case out.  These swivels freely spin within the belt clip and are good for cell phone users that constantly catch their phone on things.

• Ratcheting Swivel Belt Clip - Ratcheting swivel clips work just like the standard swivel belt clip other than the button on the cell phone case has 8 indentations.  The indentation work with the spring loaded belt clip to ratchet the phone into position horizontal or vertical positions.  Once locked in place, the phone will stay in the horizontal or vertical position unless moved to another position.  These are great options if you like to change the position of your phone while standing, sitting, etc.

• Removable Belt Clip - Removable belt clips allow the clip or button to be removed from the back of the case.  Krusell Multiadapt cases have this option as do some Body Glove Sport cases.  These types of clips are great for cases when you want to carry your phone in a pocket and still have the protection of the case.

A good cell phone case provides protection to your phone while making the phone easier to use.  Cell phone cases come in many styles and types.  Find information below on how to choose the case that best fits your needs.  If a holster or pouch is more of what you are looking for, you can find information on cell phone holsters and pouches here.

What are the different types of cell phone case materials?

• Standard Leather - Standard leather cell phone cases generally use a thicker, bulkier leather.  As a result, the leather will not form fit the phone as well but does provide good protection.  Our standard leather cases use this type of material.
• Premium Leather - Premium leather cases use a higher quality leather that is thinner than the standard leather and generally has a smooth feel to it.  These types of cell phone cases will form fit more to the phone.  Because these types of cases will form fit, the first time the phone is inserted into the case you should make sure the case is positioned correctly.  Premium leather also provides good protection.  Cases that use this type of material are the Krusell leather cases, our Premium Cases, and many OEM cases.
• Padded Leather - Padded leather cases use a premium leather but add a thin layer of padding to the backing.  This results in a nice feel to the case and adds an added layer of protection for the phone.  These types of cases also will form fit on the phone so should be checked for a correct fit when first used.
• Neoprene - Neoprene cases were first made popular by Body Glove.  Neoprene material is shock and water resistant provide great protection for your cell phone.  This type of material may form fit a little over time so care should be used when inserting the phone to be sure it is positioned correctly.  Neoprene cases tend to have thicker edges around the stitching due to the thickness of the material.
• Canvas - Canvas cases provide exceptional protection but are rough and bulky.  These cases are most often used in cases where the phone will be subject to harsh conditions such as a construction site.

What to watch out for when purchasing a cell phone case?

• There are significant quality differences between cell phone cases.  Look for cases that have the correct openings for charging and headset ports.  The screen opening should not cover portions of the screen and the case should not be too tight.  A cheap case can cause damage to the phone by leaking glue or damage the screen by applying too much pressure.  At Discountcell we guarantee all of our cases will fit your phone as advertised and will have all the correct openings for ports.
