Polycarbonate and Acrylic Cellphone Cases

Materials science shows thermoplastic polycarbonate is particularly resistant to impacts and drops.

Our high-quality phone cases, available for Apple iPhones through iPhone 16 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S21-S25, are made of polycarbonate, not standard plastic.  Polycarbonate is a polymer that forms a particularly hard shell.  As such, tapping on the back of a Thaker and Friends™ phone case feels more like tapping on ceramic tile, not on soft plastic.  Polycarbonate is used in safety goggles and safety shields, skylights, and other important applications. 

The polycarbonate case is then coated with premium acrylic manufactured in a chemical process to make the phone case particularly resistant to wear and tear.  Much like a manicure, the acrylic is cured.  It is stain-resistant, water-resistant, impact-resistant, and scuff-resistant.  The branding doesn't peel off the back, doesn't scratch, and doesn't fade over time: it's not a sticker; it's a sealed part of the acrylic layer.  Think of how long an acrylic manicure lasts. These are very high quality cases at competitive prices.

This product is manufactured and arrives as one piece and its plastic protection is fully integrated.  This item does not arrive as several separate components.  You just snap your phone into the case.

  • Signature iPhone 12 - 16 Thaker and Friends™ 2-Layer Tough Cases (supports all models)

    Did you know that 78 million people damaged their cellular phones on accident last year? Most Americans actually drop their phone up to 4 times per week. The Mel Thaker and Friends Signature iPhone case for iPhones 12 - 16 is made of impact resistant thermoplastic polycarbonate, a material used in safety shields and glasses.  Layers of protection are integrated into the plastic of a phone case that is particularly lightweight and has a small pocket profile. The core of the Mel Thaker and Friends Signature iPhone cases is a precision molded inner plastic shell layer composed of a planar-molecule forming thermoplastic, which is then coated with an acrylic paint cured to create an acrylate polymer.  This shell gives these phone cases the shine and durability of manicured nails with the chip-resistance, stain-resistance, and wear-resistance of quality engineering.  Customers say that a year after their purchase, their phone case still looks brand new.  Others have commented that tapping on a phone case feels more like tapping on ceramic tile than cheap plastic.  Rubber cases become worn over time, can stain, and provide only rudimentary protection.  The hardshell acrylate on a Mel Thaker and Friends Signature iPhone case for iPhones 12 - 16 remains looking brand new and with a quality plastic case, so does your phone.
