Everyone handles it on a daily basis, without realizing that it can cause serious problems.
When buying a new or used phone, almost everyone has the same reflex: buy accessories for their device. Some invest in an unbreakable glass for their screen, others take the plunge with wireless headphones or a phone cord to always have it at hand. And then, there are those who are content with simplicity and treat themselves to a nice protective case. Today, this type of accessory is found on most phones. It is primarily used to protect the device from everyday aggressions (scratches, falls, liquid splashes, etc.).
It seems essential in itself to avoid breakage, and yet, in some cases, the case of your phone can seriously damage your device and its battery. Indeed, and you may have experienced it one day, the back of your phone can suddenly become hot because of the protective case. This is overheating of the battery. In general, this happens after several hours spent on your mobile or when charging it. Overheating can be caused by the ventilation system of your device which is blocked by the case, often made of silicone. But that’s not all…
Repeated overheating can slow down the charging process and even affect the battery life of your phone in the long term. To avoid such problems and especially to avoid having to change the battery frequently, some experts advise removing the case when charging the smartphone. Still others recommend choosing a polymer case. This material generally offers better heat dissipation. Unlike silicone cases which tend to retain heat. A polymer case also preserves the battery’s performance. Now you know what you have to do if you want your phone to last for years!
