How to avoid mistakes when choosing a smartphone case
The iPhone SE looks very similar, so it's hard to tell the generation at a glance.
But in fact, there are differences between the 1st generation and the 2nd and 3rd generations in terms of body size, button placement, and camera size, so the cases are not compatible at all!
×For example, mistakes like this...
- I accidentally bought a case for the 2nd/3rd generation (4.7-inch) for the 1st generation (4-inch).
→ The size is too big and it's empty - The button positions do not align, so the volume button cannot be pressed.
- The shape of the camera lens is different, causing the photo to be dark or not appear.
That's why it's super important to properly check which generation your iPhone SE is before choosing a smartphone case!
