iPhone case material for best heat dissipation?

What case material for iPhone is most effective at dissipating heat. With my current case, my iPhone 11 often feels hot at the bottom of the screen but cools down when I take the case off, so I am confident that the case causes some heat to linger around. I was wondering which material will be best at dissipating heat and if you have any recommendations? TPU, rubber, plastic, metal, silicone, etc?

iPhone 11, iOS 13

Since the main function of phone cases are to protect the phone from scratches, dirt and shock-impact, the materials are often not the best for heat dissipation. But Razer has come up with an iPhone case with a thermaphene layer that supposedly helps with heat management https://techcrunch.com/2019/09/10/razer-made-an-case-for-cooling-iphones-while-gaming/. You can perhaps check that out but I'm sure you can find similar cases like it online for a better price.


However, for cases such as that, there's not much choice in terms of cover designs. If you don't mind a simple but functional cover then it might be perfect for you. But if you want to get a protective cover for your iPhone that protects as well as looks good you can take a look at the vast selection here https://www.amazon.com/iphone-11-case/s?k=iphone+11+case or even here https://www.printcious.com/my/shop/phone-cases.
