The term refers to a protective covering specifically designed for the anticipated iPhone 16 Pro Max model. Its defining characteristic is its minimal thickness, prioritizing protection without significantly increasing the device’s overall size or weight. These accessories are typically constructed from lightweight materials such as polycarbonate or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane).
This type of accessory aims to safeguard the device from minor scratches, bumps, and everyday wear and tear. The reduced bulk preserves the sleek aesthetics and ergonomic feel of the phone. The popularity of these types of protective solutions has grown alongside consumer demand for maintaining the original design of their devices while providing a degree of security against accidental damage.
