Where these two actually differ

  • We flag TPE material degradation, Microplastic shedding and PFAS in waterproofing coatings on the Spigen and not on the Tech21.
  • We flag Electrical safety and insulation integrity, Connector corrosion and conductivity failure and Mechanical damage from kinking or crushing on the Tech21 and not on the Spigen.
  • The Spigen is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) with waterproof sealing where the Tech21 is Standard copper/PVC power cable, 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.
  • We are less certain about the Spigen grade, at 42% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.

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 →
