What are silicone cases for payment terminals?
Silicone cases, also called protective sleeves, are flexible covers designed to fit around payment terminals and provide added protection during everyday use. They help protect the terminal from bumps, drops, scratches, scuffs, and wear while providing additional grip during handheld transactions.
Which payment terminal brands have silicone protective sleeves available?
DCCSupply offers silicone cases and protective sleeves for a wide range of payment terminal brands, including PAX, Ingenico, Verifone, Dejavoo, SUNMI, NEXGO, Clover, and others. Available products vary by terminal model, so check the individual product listing to confirm compatibility with your specific device.
How do I know which silicone case fits my payment terminal?
Check the manufacturer and model information on your payment terminal and compare it with the compatibility information on the individual product listing. Silicone sleeves are typically designed around specific terminal dimensions, ports, buttons, and other features, so choosing the correct model is important for a secure fit.
Do silicone sleeves interfere with touchscreen or payment functions?
No. Model-specific silicone sleeves are designed to maintain access to essential terminal functions, including the touchscreen, card readers, cameras, scanners, buttons, ports, and other features applicable to the device. Silicone material itself does not interfere with supported NFC/contactless payment functionality or wireless connectivity.
Can I charge my payment terminal while the silicone case is installed?
Charging compatibility varies by terminal model, silicone sleeve, and charging method. Many sleeves maintain access to the charging port for direct cable charging, while some may need to be removed before the terminal can be placed on a charging base or dock. Check the individual product listing for specific charging compatibility.
What type of protection do silicone payment terminal cases provide?
Shock-absorbing silicone helps protect terminals from everyday bumps, drops, scratches, scuffs, and wear. The flexible material also provides additional grip, which can make frequently handled mobile payment terminals easier to hold securely.
Do silicone cases protect payment terminals from spills?
Silicone sleeves can provide an additional barrier against minor spills, splashes, dust, and everyday wear, but they do not make a payment terminal waterproof. Terminals should not be submerged or exposed to excessive moisture.
Are silicone protective sleeves good for restaurants and mobile businesses?
Yes. Silicone cases are particularly useful in environments where payment terminals are frequently carried and handled, including restaurants, retail stores, delivery services, mobile vendors, field service operations, and events. They provide added protection without significantly increasing the size of the terminal.
How do I clean a silicone payment terminal sleeve?
Remove the sleeve from the payment terminal and clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling it. Always follow the terminal manufacturer's recommendations when cleaning the payment device itself.
What's the difference between a silicone sleeve and a protective carrying case?
A silicone sleeve fits directly around the payment terminal and generally stays on during everyday use. A carrying case provides additional protection and portability and may include cushioning, a screen shield, hand strap, shoulder strap, or storage features. The best option depends on how the terminal is used and transported.
