A good phone case can help minimize the stress and anxiety during the elections. Amid all the preparations and decisions, the security of your mobile phone may seem like a small detail—but it can make a significant difference in keeping your day running smoothly. After all, your phone is not just a communication tool; it’s your lifeline for accessing crucial information, navigating logistics, and ensuring connectivity throughout the day. But first, let's start by discussing the importance of your smartphone during this busy and important day.

Your Phone's Role

Smartphones play a significant role in Election Day prep in the U.S. for voters and election officials alike. Here's a list of reasons why these are important:

1. Voter Information & Research

Polling Locations:  Voters often rely on their smartphones to find accurate and up-to-date information about their designated polling locations, which may vary from one election to another due to redistricting, precinct adjustments, or logistical changes. With the convenience of mobile technology, voters can quickly verify their polling site, ensuring they arrive at the correct location and avoid any unnecessary delays or confusion on election day.

Ballot Research: While standing in line or even right before voting, many voters often use their phones to research candidates, ballot measures, and initiatives.

2. Voter Turnout & Engagement:

Reminders: Your mobile device can set reminders for voting deadlines, polling hours, and absentee ballot submission, making it indispensable for effective election day prep.

Social Media & Communication: Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are used to spread the word about voting, report experiences, and encourage others to participate in the election.

3. Election Monitoring & Security

 

Election Monitoring Apps: Some citizens use apps or websites to report any voting irregularities or delays at polling stations. Organizations like the Election Protection Coalition encourage people to use their smartphones to document and report issues.

Verification of Information: Smartphones help voters fact-check rumors or misinformation that might be circulating on social media.

4. Emergency & Real-Time Updates

Weather and Traffic Alerts: Mobile protection is crucial during Election Day as smartphones can provide real-time updates on local conditions that might affect voting (e.g., road closures, public transport delays).

Last-Minute Changes: In addition, last-minute changes to polling locations or extended voting hours can occur unexpectedly. You can be promptly alerted to such changes through email, text messages, or app notifications, allowing you to adjust your plans accordingly and ensure your voice is heard when you have your mobile device with you.

5. Digital Voting Assistance

Translation & Accessibility Tools: For those needing assistance due to language or disability, smartphones can provide translation apps, screen readers, or other accessibility tools. Numerous translation apps, such as Google Translate, can facilitate communication and comprehension of voting materials in various languages, helping non-English speakers navigate the electoral process more effectively.

For people with visual impairments, smartphones offer screen readers like VoiceOver for iOS and TalkBack for Android, which read aloud the text displayed on the screen, making it easier for users to access important information, including ballots and polling instructions for election prep.

So, while smartphones aren't required for voting, they have become essential for many voters, enhancing access to information and communication.

Why Our Phone Cases are Superior

Now that we can see the crucial need for mobile protection, let's look at what to check for phone case reliability. Here are the factors why our rugged phone cases are election-day-ready:

Material

Durability: We use high-quality materials such as polycarbonate, silicone, and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) in our phone cases, each chosen for their superior protective qualities and durability.

For example, we use TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) for our iPhone phone case because of its high resistance to abrasion and impact, ensuring long-lasting protection against the hustle and bustle of Election Day. TPU cases are also often designed with raised edges to safeguard the screen and camera from scratches when placed on flat surfaces, giving you peace of mind.

Texture: Our rugged phone cases come with a good grip to prevent slipping out of your hand. A case with an excellent grip can help prevent accidental slips from happening as you go about casting your vote. You can avoid costly repairs or replacements by minimizing the chances of dropping your phone, ultimately saving you money in the long run.

You can see in our Samsung phone cases that it has textured or rubberized surfaces that provide tactile feedback, allowing you to hold your phone more securely. This is particularly important in high-activity scenarios.

Protection Level

Drop Protection: When you're casting your vote at the polling station, you may inadvertently drop your smartphone, especially if you accidentally bump into another voter. Our Unicorn Beetle PRO series won CNET’s first annual drop test, ensuring your smartphone stays safe even if you drop it hard.

Screen Protection: Some cases include raised edges or screen protectors to prevent the screen from touching surfaces when placed down.

Design and Fit

Precision Cutouts: Along with mobile protection, we also prioritize functionality. Our rugged phone cases have accurate cutouts for buttons, ports, and camera lenses for easy access.

But it doesn't end there. Our cutouts also help seal the phone against dust, dirt, and other debris. We understand that gaps in the case can allow particles to enter, potentially damaging the phone’s internals or screen.

Slimness: If you're voting in person, carrying bulky things is uncomfortable and can ruin your election-day attire. That's why we offer a diverse selection of slim phone cases designed to provide both style and functionality, allowing you to keep your phone secure without adding unnecessary bulk.

Additional Features

Water and Dust Resistance: Our rugged phone cases are meticulously designed to provide enhanced protection against environmental elements, specifically water and dust, making them ideal for voting this November.

The high-quality, water-resistant materials we used to construct our cases create a robust barrier, preventing moisture from seeping into your device even in wet conditions, such as rain or accidental submersion.

Kickstands: Many of our phone covers include built-in kickstands, providing the ultimate convenience for hands-free viewing. This design allows you to prop up your phone at the perfect angle, making it ideal for watching videos, video chatting, or even checking for voting reminders while waiting in line.

Style

Aesthetics: Your unique style shines through, even in the hustle and bustle of election season—if anything, it becomes even more important to express who you are. So, explore our diverse collection of smartphone case designs and colors. Each option is crafted to reflect your individuality and complement your aesthetic.

Price

Value for Money: You don't have to worry about balancing your budget with your mobile protection needs because our phone cases will give you your money's worth. Because of our long-lasting design, your phone case may last several years and maybe even several phones. So it's more than just a purchase, it's an investment.
