Defense Lux is tough drop protection and refined luxury brought together to create the ultimate in durable cases. Defense lux starts with a soft inner rubber layer, reinforced by a hard, impact resistant polycarbonate backing. Then, a machined aluminum outer frame with metallic button covers adds drop protection and scratch resistant barrier to your phones perimeter. To complete the look, a luxurious rear panel is added to complement and finish the hard metal exterior, presented in carbon fiber looks, soft leather, or croc skin. The use of machined metal instead of plastic provides military-level drop protection in a slim, pocketable and premium offering. Drop tested to survive 6"6" (2M) drops on concrete, defense metal is the ultimate way to protect but not cover up, your iPhone. Machined aluminum protects the perimeter of your device, while inside, soft rubber wraps around, protecting from drops and ensuring metal never touches your iPhone. An oversized raised lip protects your screen from drops and surface scratches. Simple construction means no tools are required.
