Official smartphone covers frequently raise controversy among users, especially those offered by Samsung and Google for their Galaxy and Pixel series phones.
Although these covers are often considered a reliable option when the phone is first launched, they are not without some notes that some find annoying.
Official covers usually come at a high price compared to other options on the market, but in return they provide perfect compatibility with the phone and good manufacturing quality.
However, the market for cases for Galaxy and Pixel phones is still less diverse than what is available for iPhones, which leads a number of users to rely on official cases provided by the companies themselves.
Among the most prominent recurring criticisms is Samsung and Google’s reliance on silicone in some phone covers. Although this material gives the phone good stability in the hand and helps reduce slippage, the high degree of adhesion may cause difficulty when inserting the phone into or taking it out of the pocket.
This note has appeared on official Pixel cases over recent generations, and also appears on some recent Galaxy cases.
Although the exterior design and compatible colors with the phone are considered strong points, the problem of high friction has not completely disappeared yet.
Therefore, some believe that the two companies should reconsider the choice of materials used in official covers, so that they provide a better balance between stability in the hand and ease of daily use.
