There’s no straightforward answer to the question “whether should I use a Mobile Skin or Mobile Case / Cover? . as there are many things to consider, though it’s mainly comes down to two things one is aesthetic pleasure and second is safety.

1. Safety and Protection

It might seem obvious that mobile covers / cases give better protection compared to mobile skins. but there’s more to it when it comes to gadget protection than just protection against drops (for which of course mobile case is a better option. As it’s thick and bulky, so it effectively gives more protection when it comes to the phone being droped or struck, but only if the case is well made), but there’s more, you see if you have used a plastic back or metal back smartphone with a case on for a long time, you must have noticed, that after some time there’s many scratches and stuck things on the back of your phone, they first seem removable but soon you realise that they are not, and that you have to live with them now.

Even though mobile case gives you better protection against drops and hits, Mobile Skins give better protection against scratches, that is the reason why people use transparent lamination skin on the back of their mobile phone together with a mobile case, so that their phones are protected against both scratches and drops.

So if you are a kind of person who drops his/her phone many times and have a glass back it would be a better idea to use a phone case (with a transparent mobile skin) but if you don’t drop your phone much it’s better to go with mobile skins which would ensure that your mobile looks just as good and fresh even years after you have started using it.

2. Looks, Aesthetics, Variety

It’s very clear here that Mobile Skins easily wins in this category. if you are someone who cares how his phone looks then you will gravitate towards Mobile Skins. Only exception to it would be someone who has not explored the complete varities of available mobile skins and designs, mobile covers simply can’t stand up to Skins when it comes to available options to choose from. Mobile Wraps look more beautiful, feel better and give you a sense of Aesthetic superiority.

Mobile Cases are just very limited in available options. there are only 5 to 10 different kinds of Mobile Cases and most likely you have used all of those types of cases for your phone, its very easy to get bored by Mobile Cases. On the other hand there’s hundreds of options to choose from when it comes to Skins, (don’t think about dbrand they are playing a different game).

When searching for a mobile cover, you don’t just have to search for a good case, but a good case which is available for device as well. chances are very low that the cover / case you have selected is available for your device as well. but when it comes to skins there are some website like eXary.in who has all of their available skins, available for every single device there is. so you can feel good that you just have to select the best skin for yourself and it will be available for your device (with very very rare exceptions).

Play a lot of games do you?

Mobile Cases keep the generated heat of your mobile phone trapped inside not letting them out and dissipate, which causes your mobile to heat much more and effect it’s performance. (which is specially problamatic for gamers). where Skins are so thin that they are like not even there. they let the heat dissipate as much as possible and keep your phone as cool as possible.

The bulk is the most annoying thing about Mobile Cases, and the main reason why I choose Skins over Cases. it just uncomfortable to hold and make your phone less like a phone and more like a brick.

7. Application

Now one of the problems with Mobile Skins is that it’s not very easy to apply. and one has to put up with the slightly difficult process of applying and learning how to correctly apply a skin and is probably the main reason why people don’t use Skins, the other one being that they don’t know about it. but despite this, the result is worth the effort.

Applying Mobile Cases on the other hand is as easy as it could be.

Conclusion

After explaining all the elements of mobile Skins and Cases and their pros and cons it’s now upto you to decide what suites your situation and wants better.
