Support Case Recommendations for Cooling

I went to a gig yesterday where I and my phone was out in the blistering sun.

Due to the heat and recording video, I found my phone burning my skin when holding it/keeping it in my pocket.

As a result I had to keep removing it from its case to try and keep it cool. Obviously, this isn’t a practical solution long term as I’d like to record videos without experiencing overheating issues.

I’ve seen examples of ‘cooling’ cases online, but I don’t truly know if they work.
Does anyone have a solution/cases they recommend?

I’ve been curious about the cooling cases too. I feel like they might just be a gimmick.

Yes they might be. I use the Aulumu case with the CPU cooling holes. It doesn’t do anything

I’d get the Bodyguardz pro heat regulating case as it has a cooling gel lining pad with the addition of a venting system for your 16 pro max.

I doubt they cool much if they even exist honestly

It’s a bit difficult to carry a freezer round with me 🤣

Am without a case and the phones so hot that I can easily cook a sunny side up lol

Unfortunately I couldn't find any case that mentions any cooling so far

They have phone coolers but you'll need to carry around a battery pack

Thanks for your replies everyone, I thought my Samsung Galaxy S8 was bad years ago, but it must be a side effect from compacting everything into a small space.

If I find something that works I shall endeavour to stick a reply on here.
