Custom Series · Rugged & Armor
Adding thickness is not protection. A case protects by deforming on impact and spreading the energy away from the phone body. That is why our armor ranges use two materials with different jobs rather than one thick shell.

| Layer | Job | Material behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| Outer shell | Keeps shape, holds the phone rigid | PC — resists bending, but cracks rather than absorbs if used alone |
| Inner sleeve | Absorbs impact | TPU — deforms and rebounds, spreading energy |
| Corner cushions | Takes the first contact | Air pockets compress on corner drops, where most damage happens |
| Camera and screen lips | Keeps glass off flat surfaces | 1.5 mm above the lens, 0.8–1.0 mm above the screen |
Drop a phone and it almost never lands flat on its back — it lands on a corner, and the corner is where the glass and the frame meet. Corner reinforcement is worth more than back-panel thickness, which is why every armor range here carries extra material at the corners and keeps it off the closing face.
On a foldable you cannot reinforce freely: added material on the closing face stops the phone folding flat. All reinforcement is therefore placed on the outer faces and the spine side.
| Buyer expectation | Range | Protection level |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday desk and pocket | Diamond minimal, ice-feel | Scuffs and hinge debris only |
| Regular handling, some drops | Diamond card holder, pivot ring stand | PC shell + TPU rails |
| Tradesperson or outdoor use | Gold Shield 360 armour, gold armor pen slot | Full-body wrap, corner cushions |
| Replaces a case every few months | Mech ring stand, mech warrior | Reinforced corner blocks, textured rails |
TPU absorbs more energy and protects better in a single drop; PC keeps its shape over time. That is why hybrids exist.
We test to roughly 1.2 m onto a hard flat surface, corner-first. Ask any supplier for the height and the surface — a number without those two details means nothing.
Not on our construction. Reinforcement is kept off the closing face, which is the main design constraint.
Yes — UV print or silk screen on the back panel, laser engraving on metal accents.
