The Prot3ct case gives phones durable protection in three layers while still allowing access to all phone functions including audio ports. The shock absorbing silicone layer has added protection at the corners where it is needed most. The Prot3ct Polycarbonate shell provides protection from scratches and dings and allows the phone to slide easily in and out of pockets. The Polycarbonate shell is also reinforced with a Prot3ct Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) layer for even more added protection! The Prot3ct case is also designed to protect the phone screen. When the phone is placed face down on a surface, the Prot3ct case is designed to keep the screen from making contact with the surface.
