What material must the case be made of to at least slightly protect the phone from the cold?

how cold are we talking about?
Not sure your going to find a certain material, but there's this product...

Thank you. But I am looking for a material
I'm guessing Silicone material would be the best insulator against colder temps. A dark color would also aid in absorbing heat when exposed to sunlight no matter the case material. I copied this from the net:
Does silicone case heat up phone?
Silicone and Rubber phone cases do retain heat. They can potentially contribute to the heat build-up in your phone.Aug 31, 2021

A phone should be OK at that temperature. Unless you're trying to charge it at near 0C? Because LiPo batteries don't like being charged at very low temperatures.
FWIW I just use a silicone case, which is mainly for protection though. And I've used phones when the air temperature is -30C and lower.
I'm sure "The Puffer Case" is more about fashion than actual protection from extreme cold, just like with puffer coats.
