Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Thermal Phone Case, and How Does It Work?
A thermal phone case is an insulated pouch that uses insulating materials like 200 gsm microfiber to keep your phone safe and protect it from cold weather. TREQA cases create a thermal barrier, preserving battery life and ensuring consistent performance during outdoor activities.
How Does a Thermal Phone Case Protect Battery Life in Cold Weather?
By insulating against low temperatures, TREQA’s insulated phone cases minimize heat loss and prevent rapid battery drainage, keeping devices operational even in sub-zero conditions.
Will the Case Interfere with My Cellular Signal or Touch Screen?
No, the insulation and ripstop fabric do not significantly block cellular signals. You can still hear notifications and maintain your cell phone’s functionality. For most phones, you’ll need to remove the device from the thermal case to access the touchscreen fully.
How Well Do These Cases Protect Against Canadian Winters?
Both cases are designed with Canadian winters in mind. The 200 gsm synthetic insulation helps regulate temperature and keeps your phone’s battery from draining rapidly due to extreme temperatures. The windproof and water-repellent materials add extra security against snow, sleet, and frigid windchill, making them Canadian-proof winter-friendly phone cases.
What Features Make a Thermal Phone Case Ideal for Outdoor Adventures?
Outdoor phone cases should feature tough ripstop fabric, windproofing, water resistance, and lightweight designs, making them perfect for hiking, skiing, and other rugged activities in cold conditions.
Is your Insulated Phone Case Waterproof or Water-Resistant?
Our water-resistant thermal phone cases feature durable water-repellent coatings that shield devices from snow and light rain, ensuring phone functionality in challenging weather.
Which Phones Do These Cases Fit?
Both the TREQA Polar Phone Case and the TREQA Arctic Thermal Phone Case fit almost all iPhone models (SE, 5, 6, 7, 8, X, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) as well as most Samsung and Android phones with similar dimensions. If you’re unsure whether your phone will fit, compare its dimensions to the 3.5 x 7.25-inch case size.
Does the Case Have Extra Pockets or Storage?
The Polar Phone Case features an outer pocket for storing cards or IDs. Both models also feature a strap on the back for easy carrying or attaching to a belt or backpack for drop protection.
How Do I Clean and Care for My Thermal Phone Case?
- Spot Cleaning: Use a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe away dirt.
- Air Dry Only: Allow the case to dry thoroughly before using it again. Avoid machine drying, as high heat can affect the insulation and DWR coating.
- Reapply DWR (If Needed): Refresh the water-repellent coating using a fabric-safe DWR spray.
How Durable are Outdoor Phone Cases for Rugged Outdoor Use?
TREQA’s outdoor thermal phone cases are built with robust ripstop outer fabric, reinforced stitching for extra protection, and weatherproof features, offering lasting durability for outdoor enthusiasts navigating harsh environments and extreme cold.
Can the Thermal Phone Cases Fit in My Jacket Pocket?
