Most on-demand printed smartphone cases on the market are front-printed due to printer limitations, restricting color vibrancy. By separating the frame and panel, caseplay enables reverse printing on the panel, maximizing printer performance and achieving exceptionally high print quality. ② Minimalist Design with Outstanding Shock Resistance The Slim Protection Premium Case offers shock resistance three times higher than MIL-STD standards. The separated frame and panel structure helps absorb impact from drops. The case has passed multiple drop tests from 3.6 meters at various angles. The Premium Square Case features uniformly thickened corners and frame, dispersing and absorbing impact across all four corners and the entire frame. ③ All Materials Are Sustainable Both the frame and panel are made from recycled materials. Additionally, caseplay uses UV-curable inks certified by GREENGUARD Gold from Mimaki Engineering for printing, and all packaging materials are made from recycled paper. caseplay implements eco-conscious practices across all aspects of its operations. ※ GREENGUARD is an environmental certification program administered by UL, a U.S.-based independent scientific safety organization, assessing chemical emissions in indoor environments.
