Let's face it—our phones are more than just random objects. In today’s modern world, gadgets like the latest iPhone 16 have morphed into our lifelines. We use them to connect to family and friends, entertainment, news, online banking, and more.

Protecting them with a drop tested phone case that wards off impact must be a top priority. After all, with the time our phones stay in our hands, accidents inevitably happen. Let’s peek at how our reliable SUPCASE phone cover, renowned for rugged durability, stands up to the ultimate challenge—a 20-foot drop test.

Why the Drop Test Matters

We’re familiar with this scenario: walking down the street whilst balancing a purse, coffee, keys, and iPhone 16 on hand. Suddenly, we fail with our juggling act, and the phone slips. It plummets to the concrete street below. Ouch! This scenario is heart-stopping because our smartphones cost a lot of money. We can’t have them breaking down over something so preventable.  

This is precisely why the drop test is crucial. It’s not just about surviving everyday bumps and scrapes, too. Instead, it's about preparing for those unexpected, high-impact falls (like falling off the table or accidentally making a fit bump during a winning basketball game and having your phone fly off your hand) that can easily result in shattered screens or worse.

SUPCASE Protection in Action

Dropping an iPhone 16 from a staggering 20 feet, our cases will live up to their promises of unparalleled protection. Spoiler alert: they didn't disappoint. Let's take a closer look at some of our SUPCASE’s best-sellers, examining why they’ve become go-to choices for iPhone users

UB Pro

First up, the UB Pro is known for its rugged armor and built-in screen protector. This durable phone cover acts as a fortress with a multi-layered design. It combines two tough materials: a hard polycarbonate outer shell with a flexible TPU inner layer. This can effectively absorb and disperse shock from impacts. 

It’s also built with easy-to-use port covers that remove dust and debris and a rotatable belt clip for easy access. Our best-selling UB Pro is perfect for those who need maximum protection without sacrificing functionality. The result? Your iPhone 16 emerges unscathed, even from a 20-foot drop.

UB Clear

Next, we have the UB Clear, perfect for those who want to showcase their iPhone's sleek design shine through while ensuring robust protection. This minimalist case provides top notch iPhone 16 protection. 

Despite its slim profile, it doesn’t skimp on durability, providing excellent resistance against scratches and drops. Once again, it’s crafted from high-grade TPU and PC materials. This offers a blend of transparency and resilience.

UB Sport

Last but not least, UB Sport caters to active users. It does justice to its name with a sporty design. It can seamlessly handle the rough and tumble of an adventurous lifestyle. This comes with a grippy texture, proffering a comfy hold. The reinforced corners and raised edges provide extra buffer zones. All the ergonomic details ensure your phone stays intact during those heart-stopping drops. It can handle any bumps and knocks of your adventurous day out.

The Anatomy of SUPCASE Protection

Ever wonder what makes SUPCASE cases so resilient? It all comes down to the materials and design.

Polycarbonate Shell

The outer layer of our phone covers is made from polycarbonate. This raw material has high impact resistance properties and durability. This tough outer shell acts as the first line of defense, absorbing the initial shock from a fall.

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU)

Beneath the hard exterior lies a layer of TPU. This makes the case flexible and less brittle or prone to crack. It’s a strong material that further absorbs impact forces. This dual-layer construction ensures that even if the outer shell takes a hit, the inner layer where all the important phone components remain intact This means your phone is cushioned against damage.

Raised Bezels and Reinforced Corners

Many say the devil is in the details. Raised bezels around the screen and camera prevent direct contact with surfaces when dropped. So, no scratches or cracked lenses! Additionally, the reinforced corners add extra protection where needed most, reducing the risk of cracks and breakages.

Military-Grade Protection

You’ve probably heard the buzz about "military-grade phone cases." It sounds pretty tough, right? Just like soldiers, these cases are built to take on the harshest conditions. Think of extreme weather, rough handling, and the occasional tumble from a moving vehicle (hey, accidents happen!). But what does "military-grade" really mean? Let’s break it down!

Best Certification

When a phone case flaunts that "military-grade" label, it’s not just for show—it means it has survived the brutal MIL-STD-810G 516.6 drop test. The phone gets dropped from a 20-foot height onto all sorts of surfaces. And each time, it must come out unscathed. This certification proves that the phone case can handle anything. This label gives you peace of mind, knowing your device is ready for life’s adventure or mayhem.

Real-World Relevance

While "military-grade" sounds like your phone case could join the Marines, real-world perks count. It works for a hiker tackling rocky trails or a city slicker navigating subways. A top-notch phone case is a trusty sidekick that keeps your iPhone 16 safe in any adventure—big or small.
