Comparison ArmorStandart Silicone Case for iPhone 11 Pro vs Apple Silicone Case with MagSafe for iPhone 12 mini

Case compatibility with a specific mobile phone model — or, in the case of universal models, the absence of any specialization. Both options have their advantages and disadvantages.

Specialized variants are much better compatible with the corresponding mobile phones, as initially "tailored" for the features of a particular device: the shape and dimensions of the case, the location of connectors, buttons, cameras, etc. As a result, the cover provides protection without creating inconvenience for the user and without limiting his capabilities. And some types of cases (see "Type"), by definition, are made only specialized. At the same time, not all models of mobile phones are awarded such an "honor" as the release of a specialized case. And if your device is relatively inexpensive, the probability of not finding a case for it is quite high.

Note that it hardly makes sense to try to choose a specialized case based on the similarity of dimensions: firstly, very few devices match in size up to a millimetre, and secondly, even with such a coincidence, compatibility of connectors, cameras, etc. is not guaranteed at all due to lack of correspondence of cutouts for them and other structural elements of the phone. If the description indicates compatibility with several models at once, this means that the case is available in several modifications, for the corresponding devices.

Universal covers, in turn, are not limited by specific models and can be u...sed with any mobile phones that fit in size. Moreover, the size can coincide very approximately — the main thing is that the phone, on the one hand, fits inside, on the other hand, it is not too small and is not loose in the main compartment. At the same time, only cases intended for transporting a mobile phone are universal (bags and cases, see “Type”); the ability to use the phone without removing it from the case is the prerogative of specialized options.

The back side of the case is equipped with a magnetic plate, thanks to which the mobile device can be quickly fixed in the car holder, as well as on all kinds of desktop brackets and docking stations. Cases with a magnetic plate for mobile devices with a large screen are especially relevant. After all, these phones are often used as a car navigator.
