Key Takeaways:
Aluminum Unibody: Lightweight and optimized for battery and performance.
Ceramic Shield 2: Stronger than ever, but glass is still glass—scratches and cracks remain a risk.
Pro Display: Bright, anti-reflective, and immersive, making scratches or drops more noticeable if unprotected.
Camera Control & Action Button: Added functionality increases use frequency, raising the chance of accidental drops.
Why a Case Still Matters
Despite Apple’s durability upgrades, real-world use brings risks:
Drops on concrete or hard surfaces can still shatter glass.
Daily scratches from keys, coins, or bags add up over time.
Grip and handling: Aluminum is smooth and slippery, making accidental slips more likely.
That’s where Kevlar® fiber cases step in—offering advanced protection without compromising style.
