- Description
- A tortoiseshell effect iPhone case. Injection moulded, the case is a fusion of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) on the sides and polycarbonate (PC) on the back panel. The tortoiseshell print effect is a film applied to the polycarbonate backing. Designed by Andrew Moore from Felony Case, the designer had previously selected PC as the sole material for his case designs but this proved brittle over time and, due to customer complaints, the new blended plastics material was chosen as a more durable product. Providing everyday protection for an iPhone, the soft case is transparent, flexible for an easy fit, strong, resistant to chemicals and lightweight. It has a raised bezel for added screen protection.
