PC (Polycarbonate)

PC (Polycarbonate) is known for its tough, rigid design that offers superior impact protection and heat resistance. It shields your phone from scratches, cracks, and daily wear, ensuring long-lasting durability.

Often paired with TPU for flexibility and shock absorption, or acrylic for a crystal-clear, scratch-resistant back, this combination delivers reliable, lightweight protection in a sleek, modern design.

Full enclosure, multi-layer cases offer maximum protection and even underwater function on certain models

Pros: Rigid, durable, heat-resistant, great impact protection

Cons: Less flexible, can crack under extreme pressure

Aluminum (Alloy)

Aluminum alloy is a lightweight yet durable material known for its exceptional protection against impacts and scratches, maintaining a sleek aesthetic. Sometimes paired with softer materials like TPU or silicone, this combination enhances shock absorption while keeping the case slim.

Pros: Superior durability and impact resistance, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, modern premium aesthetic

Cons: Less shock absorption compared to softer materials alone, can be more expensive than other materials, fully aluminum cases can be heavier than other commonly used materials

Leather and Synthetic Materials (e.g., Micro-Texture and Aramid Fibers)

Leather and synthetic materials like aramid fiber (Kevlar) are premium choices for phone cases, recognized for their high-quality construction and elegant aesthetics.

Leather offers a classic, sophisticated look that develops a unique patina over time, while aramid fiber provides a modern, high-tech appearance with exceptional strength and lightweight properties.

Both materials cater to users seeking luxury and style in their phone protection.

Pros: Timeless and elegant appearance, high-quality, premium feel, durable and resistant to wear, lightweight and easy to handle

Cons: Generally more expensive, leather may require maintenance and can wear over time, both materials may offer less cushioning against heavy impacts, limited color and texture options, especially with aramid fiber

Acrylic is a lightweight, clear material known for its flexibility and impact resistance, though it’s less rigid and scratches more easily than tempered glass.

Tempered glass, heat-treated for strength, offers superior scratch resistance and durability, making it ideal for screen protection.

Tempered glass is often used for screen protectors, with privacy options available to block side views, while acrylic is great for lightweight lens covers and clear back covers.

Pros: Acrylic: Lightweight, shatter-resistant, clear - Tempered Glass: Scratch-resistant, durable, premium feel

Cons: Acrylic: Less rigid, scratches easier - Tempered Glass: Heavier, more expensive, can shatter
