Is mobile phone cover design that much different from mobile phone case design? This is a question that I often ask myself, and because mobile phone cover design is such an unexplored area in this industry, my opinion on the matter can be called into question.
When you think about it, mobile phone cover design has to deal with even more obstacles than mobile phone case design because mobile phone covers have a lot more requirements associated with them.
For example, mobile phone cases can be made out of almost any material, whereas mobile phone covers are limited to the type of material that can be used as they often need to include some sort of flap or opening.
To top it off, mobile phones are generally used in mobile environments where the mobile phone cover will be exposed to even more damage than if it were used on a desk.
Fortunately, mobile phone covers generally need to provide less protection than mobile phone cases, but this doesn’t mean that mobile phone cover design is any easier because mobile phone covers are subjected to just as much wear and tear as mobile phones are.

In fact, mobile phone covers are subjected to even more wear and tear because they are generally the first thing taken off a mobile phone, exposing it to all types of damage outside of its case.
Because mobile phones are used in all different types of weather conditions, mobile phone cover design has to take into account what materials can stand up to the mobile phone environment and how mobile phones can be used in extreme weather conditions such as rain.
And mobile phone covers generally need to be made with higher quality materials than mobile phone cases because mobile phone covers are exposed on all surfaces, whereas mobile phone cases are only exposed through their clear plastic window.

Mobile phone covers also need to be aesthetically pleasing, and mobile phone covers are much easier to design than mobile phone cases because mobile phones already have a well established aesthetic.
The bottom line is that mobile phone case design is much more difficult than mobile phone cover design, but mobile phone cover design has its own unique obstacles that must be overcome.
Is mobile phone cover design that much different from mobile phone case design? Well, the mobile industry has many opinions on mobile phone cover design, but there is one thing that can’t be argued, mobile phone covers are here to stay.
A mobile phone cover only needs to protect the mobile device while it’s not in use, whereas a mobile phone case has to protect the mobile device both while it’s being used and while it’s not being used. Mobile phone covers are often easier to make as mobile devices already have a design that the mobile phone cover needs to follow, whereas mobile phone cases can be creative as mobile devices do not have a specified design that the mobile phone case needs to follow.
Mobile phone covers are also often made with higher quality materials than mobile phone cases. Mobile phone covers only need to provide protection when the mobile device is not in use, whereas mobile phone cases need to provide additional protection while mobile devices are in use.
And mobile phone covers do not require any openings which can be damaged and used as a way into mobile devices, whereas mobile phone cases often require an opening to allow the mobile device to be plugged in and removed.
Because mobile devices are used outside, mobile phone covers generally need to be designed with waterproof qualities, whereas mobile phone cases do not have this requirement.
Mobile phone covers can also provide storage for mobile devices such as business cards or small personal items such as keys.
Furthermore, because mobile devices already have a well-established aesthetic, mobile phone covers are much easier to design. Mobile phone covers only need to follow the mobile device’s aesthetic, which most mobile phones already have, whereas mobile phone cases can have any shape or design, often resulting in unique designs not seen on any other mobile devices.
The type of materials that mobile phone covers are made with is also influenced by mobile phone designs, as mobile devices often have a unique design that mobile phone cover designers need to follow.
And mobile phone cases generally require higher quality materials because mobile devices are used outside, and mobile phone cases need to be able to protect mobile devices from the wear and tear associated with being used outside, whereas mobile phone covers only need to protect mobile devices when not in use.
The mobile phone cover industry is vast, and mobile phone covers are here to stay. Mobile device users want mobile phone covers that fit the mobile device aesthetically but also help protect their mobile devices because mobile phones are used outside, so mobile device users demand high-quality materials for mobile covers, whereas mobile phone cases generally need to be able to protect mobile devices from the general wear and tear associated with mobile devices being used outside.
Mobile phone covers protect without limiting mobile device functions, whereas mobile phone cases often require mobile devices to stop working or limit mobile devices to only a few functions for mobile phones to fit into a mobile case.
Mobile phone covers provide mobile device users with mobile protection without limiting mobile functions, whereas mobile phone cases generally require mobile devices to stop working or limit mobile devices to only a few functions for mobile phones to fit into a mobile case. Mobile phone covers are not going anywhere anytime soon.
