What to Look for When Choosing a Phone Case
Before you hit 'add to basket', here are a few things worth considering to make sure you end up with the right case for your needs.
- MagSafe compatibility. If you use MagSafe chargers or wallet attachments, make sure your case supports it. Our clear wavy edge MagSafe cases maintain full wireless charging compatibility.
- Protection level matters. If you're prone to dropping your phone, a dual-layer tough case is your best bet. Single-layer cases look slim but won't absorb serious impacts. Belvia London's tough cases offer proper drop protection with raised camera and screen bezels.
- Print quality counts. Cheap cases often use prints that crack, peel, or yellow within weeks. Every Belvia London case features wraparound, fade-resistant prints that stay vibrant through months of daily use.
- Consider your daily routine. A commuter who throws their phone into a packed bag needs different protection than someone who keeps theirs on a desk all day. Match your case to your lifestyle, not just your aesthetic.
- Check the fit. A case designed for the wrong model won't protect properly, gaps around buttons or a loose fit defeats the purpose entirely. Always double-check your exact model before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth spending £25 on a phone case?
Considering a screen repair costs £200+, a £25 tough case that prevents damage is excellent value. Add free UK delivery and London-designed aesthetics, and it's a smart investment in your phone's longevity.
How do I choose the right iPhone 17 Air case?
Consider three factors: protection level (tough for drop-prone users, wavy for everyday), style preference (bold prints vs minimalist), and features (MagSafe, matte finish). Then pick the design that genuinely makes you smile.
What's the difference between tough and wavy cases?
Tough cases (£25) feature dual-layer construction for maximum drop protection. Wavy cases (£16) offer a slimmer profile with a tactile wavy edge, great for everyday use and lighter protection needs.
