Do cases cause phones to overheat?
Any case makes it harder to dissipate excessive heat. So with a heavy load, fast charging or wireless charging, the phone will gradually become hot. The case absorbs some of the heat and dissipates it. However, the heat dissipation process of the case is worse than that of the phone’s body. Since most cases are made from thick material with poor thermal conductivity and specific heat. Worse heat dissipate plastic cases. Silicone and rubber covers are better.
This case is not able to cause overheating and damage to the phone. Phone manufacturers embed several dozen temperature sensors. The OS monitors the temperature of critical components through sensors. When a dangerous temperature value is reached, a protective mechanism is activated to reduce the temperature.
If a high load causes overheating, the system reduces the frequency on the processor cores. Reducing the frequency reduces the performance and the amount of excess heat. As soon as the device reaches normal temperature, the system increases the frequency of the processor cores.
If overheating is caused by battery charging, then the system limits the current or voltage supply to reduce incoming power. If the temperature drops to a normal value, the system may raise the incoming charging power.
Is it bad to take your phone case off?
If you take your phone out of the case regularly, the case will stretch over time. An elongated case does not fit snugly on your phone. This decreases the protective properties of the case. Also, a stretched cover may allow more dust and debris, such as sand, to enter. Small grains of sand will move freely under the cover and cause scratches on the case.
If the case is shockproof, then a stretched case may not function as well or at all. An extended shock resistant case will still protect your phone from minor drops. But with a hard hit, a case may not prevent damage to your phone. Worse is the case for moisture protection. An impact resistant case can let moisture through and cause your phone to break.
How often should I take my phone out of the case?
Do not take your phone out of its case unnecessarily. Several times a month, you may want to take the phone out of its case for cleaning and disinfection.
The average life of most cases is 2-3 years. If you take out the case at least 3 times a month, by the end of life, the case will not have time to stretch. Cases of famous brands such as Otterbox, Speck, Nillkin, Baseus and Spigen are made with higher quality materials and perfect technology. Therefore, the cases of famous brands last longer, and some models last 5-7 years. Cheap covers from unknown brands usually break down after 2-3 years.
Before beginning, prepare your space. To prevent your phone from scratching once it’s free from its case, perform the procedure at a table or clean surface and lay down a soft towel on the space below where the phone will pop out and rest.
