Blog / What Makes Our iPhone 14 Cases the Best for Ergonomics
Oct 6, 2022
by Marcus Pickett
When shopping for your iPhone 14 case, don’t forget to look at ergonomic features that can limit your hand pain and other orthopedic discomfort. As our smartphones have gotten larger over the years, so have the number of people suffering from smartphone-related hand pain, including specific conditions known as smartphone pinkie and cell phone elbow. The way you hold your phone and how much time you spend using it are the biggest culprits. With the Dynamic Island, the Always On display, and the new iPhone 14 Plus, these orthopedic conditions will likely become more common and more severe.
The good news is your choice of phone case can minimize the risk. More than just claiming our iPhone 14 cases are ergonomic, we are giving you a guide into the specific ergonomic features of each case to help you make the best buying decision possible. We design our cases to optimize comfort, protection, and style for different types of iPhone users, including different ergonomic needs.
Ace Pro: Already one of our slimmer, pocket-friendly cases, we’ve taken Ace Pro’s ergonomic performance to the next level this year. We’ve embedded new materials into the side bumper to make it softer and easier on your hands, whether you tend to rest your phone on your pinkie finger or wedge it into the thumb-side of your palm.
Motus: Some cases can minimize the amount of time you need to hold your phone. The new Motus case with its Quick Access Clip creates a self-standing, hands-free option for using your phone. By keeping your phone out of your pocket altogether, you can sit with better posture and reduce or prevent back pain. You might think a protruding clip makes this case awkward to hold, but the extra thickness actually makes this case more ergonomic by reducing abduction in the thumb joint.
Solitude: The exact formulation of the TPU makes this our favorite material for feel and comfort. It’s smooth enough to move around comfortably in your hand but with just enough tack to feel secure and minimize drops. The beveled side creates ergonomic angles for the base of the phone to sit in the palm of your hand and for the top buttons to be manipulated by your fingers.
Carve: This is the thinnest case in our iPhone 14 case collection. You might think this makes Carve an ergonomic case, but the truth is that the thinnest cases often struggle to provide ergonomic relief from hand pain. That’s because thinner cases bring the thumb closer to the palm increasing the load on the thumb joint. This doesn’t mean Carve isn’t comfortable to hold. The smooth material with sculpted edges provides an amazing feel and sophisticated style, but the Carve case won’t help with some types of hand pain.
Just because you want a comfortable, ergonomic case doesn’t mean you’re willing to sacrifice impact protection or visual style. Our iPhone 14 case collection is designed for a complete and elevated iPhone experience. Looking for best-in-class protection? Built-in MagSafe magnets? On-trend colors and styles? We have multiple ways to help you find the perfect case.
