Where these two actually differ
- We flag Microplastics from degradation, BPA or BPS in thermoplastic resin, Phthalate plasticizers in PVC or flexible polymers and Seal or closure failure leading to water damage 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 Plastic pouch 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.
