But, are we just covering up what hard-working designers spend years developing?

There are plenty of different materials, looks and colors to fit your device’s needs. There are silicon, plastic, and anodized aluminum plugs.

I think this is all good information, but without this rubber thing around phones, a lot of people would drop there phones that they pay for out of there own money an it would crack. And the build of phones are different and that is true an I get that,but its not that different if you want your case off and you drop it an the screen cracks. now a days people are making phones with plastic glass thing were the screen is plastic but will still work like a normal phone. But that is were the rating end or the high ones, phone cases or on the market cause people want to show who they are with there pone. And this thing is telling you all the bad about it but what people do not seem to get,is that there are clear phone cases and a lot that you can see the bad of the phone. it is not for us to tell people to hey take your phone case off cause you should look at the back of your phone. cause when people are on there phone or at least when I am on mine I do not look all over my phone to like the backing.I go on it and when I am done it goes right in my pocket. But wen there is something on it it gives you a piece of mind like hey if I where to drop my phone it would not crack that bad. I am not saying that just cause you have a phone case on your phone its going to take all your chances of cracking your phone. But its assuring that they wont put harm to you phone if and wen you drop it
