Where these two actually differ
- We flag Plasticizer or stabilizer leaching, Volatile organic compounds (VOC) off-gassing, Microplastic shedding from abrasion and Coating degradation and unknown replacement material on the and not on the Spigen.
- We flag TPE material degradation, Microplastic shedding and PFAS in waterproofing coatings on the Spigen and not on the .
- The is Unknown plastic or composite shell where the Spigen is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) with waterproof sealing, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
