Even if you have been in the technology world for a while now, you still may not understand the differences or the dynamics of a screen protector versus a case when it comes to cellphone accessories. So what exactly is the difference? What would you be better off going with? Cellphone accessories like these well-known cases have been around for quite awhile now. They come in all kinds of shapes and colors and have only one specific problem: size.

Usually these cases are bulky and were once known as being as unattractive and cool as a fanny-pack (you know who you are!). Nowadays these cases have become quite different, but they still can be very bulky nonetheless. Most of these cases are made out of soft materials as well so it's not like you can keep it safe by using a case, your phone can still get scratches or break! On the other hand, you have screen protectors.

When it comes to your iPhone or other PDA type of phone it seems like these screen protectors are going to be the best way to go - not only do they have front, back, and wrap around options, but they also have really nice pricing options and consumer reports on these two brands as well. This still won't keep your phone from getting crushed, but it will keep it from getting scratched, scuffed, or "cracked".

In the end, it's probably going to depend on you and what you decide - bulky case or sleek cell phone creen protector. They both do about the same thing - one is just "trendier" and conventional than the other.
