Cases preserve devices for years on end, allowing people to use them for just as long. However, choosing the right case for a device can feel like a never-ending saga. Looking for a case that fulfills all your needs can be time-consuming, especially if you need to make sure it’s optimized for use with certain headsets. Keep reading to learn about what to look for in a case for your laptop or tablet.
Port Accessibility
Anyone with a headset needs to make sure their case facilitates actually using the headset with their device. Laptop cases should allow access to all USB and audio ports while iPad ports need to allow for the iPad charger and headphone jack (depending on the model). There’s nothing worse than buying a case and discovering you need to remove your device in order to utilize anything you want to attach.
Pocket Storage
Trust when we say you can never go wrong with more storage pockets. Taking a device everywhere is great, especially if it has pocket storage to carry all of someone’s belongings. Large pockets will allow storage of power cords and headsets, with some also offering smaller pockets to store things like debit cards, driver’s licenses, and cash.
Plug Types
Look at your device to see which plug types it has. For iPads, this is pretty simple; they’re at the bottom and contain two different types of plugs. For laptops, you’ll likely have a few USB and HDMI plugs as well as a power outlet, headphone jack, microphone jack, and an ethernet plug. While having a space for power plugs is necessary for a case, you should also look for a case that allows you to utilize all the plugs built into your device to facilitate full usage.
Durability
Devices get dropped, tripped over, and have things fall on them all the time, so look for a case that can protect your device no matter what you put it through (within reason). A decent quality case will have plastic around the corners, padding, and be made of a durable material—nylon for laptops and plastic for tablets. Durability is the number one aspect that will keep your device in the best possible shape.
