A drop test from 20 feet reveals which phone cases offer the best protection without breaking the bank.
Protecting your smartphone doesn’t have to cost a fortune, but not all phone cases are created equal.
In a 20-foot drop test onto concrete, the $99.99 OtterBox case failed to prevent the phone from cracking, despite its claim of being five times tougher than military standards.
The $46 Casetify Impact case, however, kept the phone completely intact with no scratches or damage, proving its value.
Apple’s $49 silicone case also passed the test, protecting the phone and remaining unscathed after the fall.
The results show you don’t need to spend a lot for reliable phone protection. Affordable options like Casetify and Apple’s silicone case provide excellent durability and value.
