The Defender is easily the biggest case that will be featured in this roundup. It’s thick, it’s wide, and it’s heavy. This is all thanks to the dual-layer design, which comprises a rubber external layer and a two-piece polycarbonate frame. The rubber layer features textured panels on the left and right sides for improved grip, as well as some prominent OtterBox branding on the back. However, the polycarbonate bit is extremely hard to take apart due to the clips it’s held together with and the sheer brittleness of the material; every time I (attempt to) remove the case, I feel like I’m going to break something. That’s not something you’d expect from a case of this caliber. It does pass OtterBox’s Certified Drop+ Protection standards, so I wouldn’t be worried about punting it around once the rubber layer is wrapped around the outside. The soft layer inside the polycarbonate frame likely helps with that.

I was sent a case for my Pixel 2 XL carved out of cherry. As soon as I took the case out of its packaging, I was greeted with a strong whiff of the classic wood smell that I can still smell on it today. Putting my phone in took less fanfare than I’d imagined; all it took was pushing the phone straight into the case, at which point it’s held in by friction from the suede lining. This is necessary since wood can’t flex as much as plastic. However, this also means that if you drop your phone facedown, it could be slightly forced out of the case into the ground since the lip doesn’t really wrap around the front, even if it does provide adequate clearance for a glass screen protector.

The Range Rover Velar – like all Range Rover vehicles – offers exceptional capability on a variety of surfaces, terrains and weather conditions. The Range Rover Velar features a highly sophisticated all-wheel drive system, available four-corner air suspension and, when equipped with air suspension, a ground clearance of 9.9 in. (8.4 in. with coil springs), wading depth of 25.6 in. (23.6 in. with coil springs) and a suite of traction technologies which include Terrain Response® 2, Active Rear Locking Differential and All Terrain Progress Control2.

The only saving grace for this case is its FlexShock technology, which features small ridges within the thick border aimed at dissipating energy when the phone is dropped. I would trust this case if I dropped my phone in it, but I’m really not a fan of anything else about it. That’s not to mention the $39.95 price tag for the Pixel 2 and the $44.95 price for the Pixel 2 XL. Quite frankly, with all of this case’s flaws, I would hesitate to pay half that amount. If you do want one, though, keep in mind that Amazon only sells the clear/white variant for both phones.

Furthermore, Flame retardant Polycarbonate films are also preferred as they can be embossed on, and act as a good marketing tool for manufacturers. The global Flame retardant Polycarbonate films market is expected to witness lucrative growth opportunities in the Asia Pacific region during the forecast period, owing to a fast developing IT sector and an emerging automotive industry in the region.

Have you heard of Spigen’s Slim Armor and Tough Armor lines? If so, great! You know exactly what the Legion is. The moment I opened the box, I was instantly reminded of those two lines of Spigen cases, albeit without the handy little kickstand. The Legion features a dual-layer design, with a TPU inner layer and a polycarbonate shell around it. This earns it a MIL-STD 810G drop rating. The polycarbonate actually has a subtle soft-touch finish, which is actually quite comfortable in the hand. What’s not comfortable, however, are the sharp edges that dominate the sides of the case. These edges look good, but they aren’t very pleasant-feeling. Rounding these just a little bit would do wonders for the overall feel.
