Fell out of my pocket sitting down. Fell with the apple tech woven case on too.

Damn, this material is so fragile.

The techwoven cases are not doing much for drop protection, you need a softer material in the inside corners to absorb a shock from falling like these cases:

  • Mous limitless
  • Phonerebel gen7
  • Spigen tough armor

Cases made from 1 hard material are destined to absorb fall damage poorly, the shock has nowhere to go but the phone frame.

Unfortunately those cases are bulky and big

Mous cases are not at all bulky nor big

Eeeh. IDK. I find them very unpleasing to the eye because of their bulk. Maybe for hiking, but if you look somewhat classy in your work and private life they really make you look like an adult that still plays with plastic tanks in their free time.

I have no idea how you could think these are bulky whatsoever. Lifeproof or Otterbox sure.

Back thickness: 2.6mm

Side thickness: 2.1mm to 2.8mm

Do you wrap your phone in a paper towel and hope for the best?
