Wondering what kind of cases you should purchase for your Dell Venue Pro? Well you’ve come to the right place. This article covers three of the most popular types of cases for your phone. There are basically three popular cases separated by the material used. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Some protect better. Some look more stylish. Others cost less and replace easier. Hopefully you’ll be able to pick out the case type you want after reading this article.
One of the best choices for a Dell Venue Pro case is the silicone case. These are designed to protect the phone from scratches and drops while still allowing you to slide out the keyboard and use all of the other buttons. Often, cases are coated in silicone to add better protection against drops. Underneath, the material is typically a hard plastic or polycarbonate that gives added strength and durability. These fall in the middle price range. They’re not too bulky, and they give basic protection. The only drawback is that they tend to make it harder to type for people with smaller hands.
If you’re looking for something that is a bat bit more thinner, maybe a regular plastic case will be the thing you need. Plastic cases are usually thinner. One of the most popular types is called skins. These are basically thin films of plastic that stick to the phone and protect it against scratches and dings. Although it’ll keep your phone free from scratches and such, it’s not the best case out there. The thin film does little to absorb shocks, so you might want another choice if you don’t want to take any chances. If you’re confident, however, that you’re more careful with you phone, then skins can be among the most cost effective of all Dell Venue Pro accessories.
But out of these three, rubberized plastic cases seem to be the better of the three. The rubber absorbs the shock of impacts, and it protects your phone better against drops. While you won’t have to worry about damage to your phone, it may be a bit bulky and make your phone harder to use. If that’s the case, then you’ll want to possibly consider a holster-type case that can be clipped to your belt, bag, or other clothing. Holsters surround the phone when it’s not in use, but you still can drop it when you take it out. Overall, rubberized cases and holsters tend to be more expensive than the other two choices, but you get better protection.
No matter what type of case you decide to get, it’s often a good idea to get a Dell Venue Pro screen protector. The 4.1-inch screen is one of the largest for the Windows Phone 7 operating system, and you’ll want to keep it in good shape. For those who don’t know what screen protectors are, they’re thing sheets of sticky film that you put on the phone’s screen to prevent immediate scratches, dents, marks, etc. It doesn’t use glue or any adhesive to stay in place. Rather, it works by a small electromagnetic charge that keeps the sheet attracted to the surface of the screen. They’re typically cheap and come in packs of three or more, so you can change them out when they’ve taken as much as they can handle.
So that’s it. These are the three most popular kinds of phone cases for the Dell Venue Pro. The phone itself is rather expensive, even if you got it at a discount with a 2-year plan. You’ll want to take the best care of it that you possibly can.
