How to Match Accessories to Work Style"},"content":{"rendered":"

Choosing accessories rarely starts with a specific product. More often it starts with a problem: devices keep falling, employees have their hands full, equipment has to be put down and searched for all the time. Many companies do not know that such problems can be solved with the right accessories, so they treat them as an unavoidable part of the job.<\/p>\n

A good starting point is the working day itself: what the employee does, how much they move and what threatens the device. Based on that, it becomes clear whether protection against damage or comfortable carrying matters more in a given case.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between a protective case and a carrying case?<\/h2>\n

A TPU protective case protects the housing against scratches, abrasion and dust<\/a>, and also softens the effects of an occasional drop. A textile case is designed for carrying and reduces the risk of dropping or losing the device, because it is attached to the belt, wrist or shoulder. These are two different kinds of protection, chosen according to what threatens the equipment in the customer’s work.<\/p>\n

A TPU case is designed for a specific device model and wraps around the housing, protecting it day to day against scratches, abrasion and dust. It also cushions occasional drops and impacts. However, it does not change the way an employee holds or carries the device, so it can still be dropped, or put down and lost.<\/p>\n

A textile case, also made for a specific model, is designed primarily for carrying<\/a>. The device is always with the employee, so it is harder to drop or lose. This is protection through the way of carrying \u2013 a textile case does not cover the housing the way a TPU case does.<\/p>\n

How can a protective case be combined with a holster or a wrist strap?<\/h2>\n

A protective case can be complemented with a DURA Holster when the device is to be worn at the belt<\/a>, or with a wrist strap when the employee holds it in the hand. The customer then gets both protection and a comfortable way of carrying.<\/p>\n

A DURA Holster is a universal solution: it fits many device models and comes with an adjustable hip belt. The device in its protective case goes into the holster, so it remains protected during work. As a manufacturer, we recommend this combination where the employee often puts the equipment down or does not move much.<\/p>\n

A wrist strap works well when the device is often held in the hand. It provides a secure grip and reduces the risk of dropping it.<\/p>\n

What carrying options does a textile case offer?<\/h2>\n

A textile case comes in several configurations: with Swivel Mount Free, a Rotating Clip, a Still Clip or a shoulder strap. Most cases with an additional mount can also be worn on a shoulder strap, because the case has one or two D-rings.<\/p>\n

What should complement protective and textile cases?<\/h2>\n

Both types of case are worth complementing with a screen protector<\/a> and, for devices with a keyboard, a keyboard film as well. A case covers neither the screen nor the keys. All of these accessories are matched to a specific model.<\/p>\n

A screen protector guards the display against scratches and damage, and a keyboard film protects the keys against wear and dirt.<\/p>\n
