The usage of smartphone case vending machines is generally straightforward. Below is a general operating procedure:

Locate the vending machine
First, locate the smartphone case vending machine, which is typically placed in high-traffic areas such as shopping malls, stations, and campuses.

Browse smartphone case styles
Use the vending machine’s display screen or touchscreen to browse the various styles, colors, and brands of smartphone cases available. Most machines offer sorting, filtering, and preview functions to help you quickly find the case you need.

Select the phone case model
Based on your phone model (e.g., iPhone, Huawei, Samsung, etc.), choose the appropriate phone case. Some vending machines provide filtering options by phone brand or model.

Select the payment method
Once you have selected your preferred phone case, the machine will typically display the payment page. Common payment methods include:

QR code payment: Scan the QR code on the screen and pay using Alipay, WeChat Pay, etc.

Credit/debit card: Some machines support card payments.

Cash payment: Some machines accept paper currency or coins, and change is dispensed immediately after payment.

Confirm and collect your item
After payment is completed, the machine will automatically identify and prepare the phone case you selected. Simply wait a moment, and the item will typically be delivered to you through a small window or slide.

Collect the item
Once the phone case is dispensed by the machine, the system will typically prompt you to collect the item. After receiving the phone case, you have completed the entire purchasing process.

If the machine encounters issues (e.g., item stuck or payment failure), there will typically be a customer service number or instructions guiding you on how to resolve the issue.
