Glass vs. Metal Phone Cases — Your Questions Answered

Glass vs. Metal Phone Cases — Your Questions Answered

Two Premium Feels. Same Premium Protection.

Choosing between a glass back and metal back phone case? We get this question a lot. Here are the answers.

Q: What's the difference between a glass back and metal back phone case?

A: A glass back case has an ultra-glossy, mirror-like finish — it looks sleek, premium, and makes your design's colours pop. A metal back case has a glossy glitter finish that's shiny and bold, with a sturdy shell built for strength and impact resistance.

Q: Which one is more durable?

A: Both offer the same level of protection — 360° coverage that shields against drops and everyday impact. The metal back has an edge in structural strength, while the glass back is scratch-resistant and stays flawless with its toughened glass construction.

Q: Do glass back cases break easily?

A: Our glass back cases use a toughened glass back that's scratch-resistant and built to last. That said, if you're looking for maximum impact resistance, the metal back's rigid shell is the tougher choice.

Q: Which one looks better?

A: Both look stunning — it really comes down to your style. The glass back has an ultra-glossy finish with deep, vibrant prints that pop. The metal back has a glossy glitter finish for a bold, eye-catching look. Both are available across our anime, Y2K, and abstract art designs.

Q: Does it support wireless charging?

A: Yes — but only the glass back case is MagSafe compatible and supports wireless charging seamlessly. The metal back case does not support wireless charging, so if you use a wireless charger, go with the glass back.

Q: Which is better for an active lifestyle?

A: Metal back, without question. It's durable, strong, and smudge-resistant — stays clean and sharp all day long. If your phone lives in your gym bag, travels with you, or survives toddlers — go metal.

Q: Are they the same price?

A: Check our store for current pricing — we keep both options accessible so you don't have to compromise.

Q: Can I get the same design in both glass and metal back?

A: Many of our designs are available in both — browse the product page to see which options are listed for your favourite design.

Q: Which one should I buy?

A: Simple rule — go glass for a premium glossy look and wireless charging support. Go metal for bold glitter style and maximum durability. Still unsure? You can always grab one of each. 😄
