For the past month, I’ve used an iPhone SE 2022. With this transfer unit, it came with a red Apple silicone case, perfect for dressing up and protecting the midnight black color of the device. Until then, I was using an iPhone 13 Pro Max with a leather case. And my surprise was capital to discover one of its great drawbacks.
The drama of silicone with the pocket
iPhone protection is an essential function for many users. In my case, I tend to be very careful. But it’s true that iPhone SE 2022 urges you to be more careless, perhaps due to its lightness and reduced dimensions. Therefore, there are many cases for iPhone SE 2022 to protect it with.
Whereas with a larger iPhone I’m more careful when picking it up and holding it, those 4.7 inches tempt you to live more on the edge. It’s part of your fun. That’s why I chose to use the case for as long as I used the device.
During all this time, I discovered one thing that ended up being really annoying. It is how badly the silicone case gets along with the pockets pants. And it is that on many occasions when I try to take the iPhone out of my pocket, it ends up coming out like a sock.
You’re going to pay at the greengrocer with Apple Pay, wait, I’m going to grab your iPhone to make you nervous in front of the queue. Whether you’re carrying the stroller, a toy in the other hand and You have a callGet ready to juggle. And if you had anything else in your pocket, be careful not to drop it down a drain.
This has an additional difficulty: putting the iPhone back in a pocket halfway out is not easy
There is no way to prevent this from happening. it makes it worse the tighter the pants you wear and it’s especially troublesome on jeans, because of their deep pockets. If your hands are wet because you have just washed them, the discomfort is increased tenfold.
It is difficult to imagine a way in which this type of material does not present this discomfort. Silicone has some adhesion to other materials and is part of its appeal, as it prevents slipping on surfaces or slipping from the hand. In my case, it has an undeniable advantage, which is to be able to place it on the dashboard to use Maps while driving.
Transparent or leather covers as an alternative
As I said at the beginning, my daily terminal until the arrival of this year’s iPhone SE has been an iPhone 13 Pro Max. To protect it, this device comes with a brown leather case. One of the most classic Apple cases.
It’s curious how with this material the problem does not arise poached, obviously. In the end, leather is a much less sticky material than silicone. Maybe even a little slipperyCertainly more than other materials. In the past, I have been able to try out leather cases from different brands, with iPhone cases from Mujjo and Apple being my favorites.
Another contender is clear iPhone cases. Years ago I tried the iPhone XR and after a year of use it held up pretty well. Yellowing is quite commonalthough in my experience I have never suffered with Apple.
What I noticed with the iPhone 12 Pro Max is that they are less resistant to drops. They save your iPhone from a bad fall, but if they do with a wedge, they will crack over time. This may be due to the new flat edge design, as with previous models this never happened to me.
This has been my little big drama during these weeks. special situations in which when the iPhone was released, it seemed that it wanted to accompany it with more things at the same time, becoming an inconvenience.
