Drop Tested.So, what is a drop test and how is it carried out? It’s not enough to just drop a phone on a pavement and claim it’s ‘drop protected’. Sure, it may still look great on the outside, but what’s to say that the internal components are still working properly? A drop test machine is the only real way to make sure that a case will truly protect your phone. Luckily, tech21’s testing equipment is built to capture 90,000 raw data points and carries out 1.5 million calculations on every drop so we can fully understand how a device will react to certain impacts; internally as well as externally. This way we can create cases that are fully equipped to take the hit. Literally.Oh, and tech21 don’t drop test just once, because even the best of us drop our phones one more than one occasion. Instead, tech21 continue to test drop-after-drop (over 20 times actually), to ensure that tech21 cases are built to provide the same level of protection over time. In fact, we’re the only cases on the market that can make this claim. Plant Based Materials.With the same hard-hitting protection, tech21 ranges are now being created with newer, more sustainable materials; something that continues to be a priority here at tech21. Using plant-based ingredients, this material has passed the same rigorous testing that all of our products go through, meaning that you’ll be able to get the same level of protection from more sustainable materials.Antimicrobial.It’s an undeniable fact that our phones pick up bacteria from a huge range of surfaces on a daily basis. More often than not, antimicrobial protection consists of a thin coating that wears off over time, which is no good to anyone. Unlike other phone cases, however, we incorporate antimicrobial ingredients into the case material itself, meaning that our germ-killing formulas offer permanent protection.Unique Patented Protection.Providing the smartest protection for your tech continues to be top of our list; because an expensive device deserves a quality case. We’re all about creating unique, durable and lightweight materials that stand the test of time and don’t have to be replaced. Each and every case is jam-packed with secret ingredients and special formulas, created by an in-house team of world-class scientists. Unique to us, these materials are super-strong, ultra-thin and continue to lead the way in phone protection; providing you with the most innovative phone cases around.
