tech21 impatology Samsung Galaxy Case
29 November
Tech21 makes its toughened cases for a variety of smartphones; for the purposes of review it provided me with an Impact Band Smokey case for Samsung Galaxy S4.
The core idea behind Tech21’s durability claims comes from the use of a non-newtonian polymer called D3O. The idea is that when you drop the case, the D3O bits absorb the impact and spread the impact force out, meaning that a smashing drop merely becomes a slightly worrying bounce.
The Galaxy S4 case I tested with has it layered bumper style around the edges of the phone case, but not on the back, where it’s just a relatively thick rubber. There’s potential to still damage your phone if dropped while in one of these cases, in other words, and Tech21 doesn’t warrant that they’ll make your phone indestructible; merely less likely to take damage than when in a regular case.
Pricing varies on the Tech21 Impactology cases, which start at $29.99. A single Impact Shield screen protector for iPhone 5 or Galaxy S4 costs $29.99.
Disclosure: I received product(s) for free in exchange for an honest review, which may differ from yours. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I used personally, and believe will be good for my readers.
