Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Elastomer degradation and skin irritation and Bacterial or fungal growth on strap on the Fitbit and not on the Mophie.
  • We flag Microplastics from case degradation on the Mophie and not on the Fitbit.
  • The Fitbit is Plastic band, elastomer strap where the Mophie is Plastic housing, 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.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
