A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

These photos and videos provide a detailed look at this project’s development.

Myth #1: All Phone Protectors are the Same (the untold truth about iPhone protection)

Why does the Dynamic Defender offer the best protection for your iPhone? Most bumpers on the market claim that only a shock-absorbing material alone is good enough to protect your phone. However with simple lab tests, we have found the force at impact exceeds the tolerance of most materials.

Regular Bumper Case(Left) vs. Dynamic Defender(Right)

Instead, we started from scratch and developed a revolutionary shock-absorbing mechanism called the Dynamic Defense System™ (DDS). Rigid and Flexible Regular Bumper Case(Left) vs. Dynamic Defender(Right) Rigid enough? With the reinforcement of AirSteel™, the bumper case is much more rigid and flexible than traditional plastic bumpers. It is surely strong enough to protect your new glass design iPhone. Introducing "White" Dynamic Defender for iPhone X. Dynamic Defender is Ready for These Models!

Rewards Stretch Goal The first MagPartner accessory will be given to backers for free if we hit more than $20,000. Come and help us get this small gadget with two functions! Myth #2: Drops Only Cause Physical Damage (long lasting invisible damage) ▲(with regular case) When shot by a 10,000 fps high-speed camera, the phone cover was shown to visibly bend and deform upon impact. Ever wonder why your phone heats up or freezes sometimes? Falls often cause unseen damage to the circuitry that causes your phone to become unstable. What is the Dynamic Defense System™? ▲As seen during ultra-slow-motion video, the Dynamic Defense System’s shock-absorbing actions stay in effect significantly longer than typical smartphone protective cases. At the core of the Dynamic Defense System™ is AirSteel™, which perfectly integrates inside the bumper. Upon impact, it proactively reacts to any shock and resonates to balance the external and internal force. The durability of the AirSteel™ helps the bumper proactively resonate, allowing for balance and absorption of impact forces. Simple, Slim, Ergonomic, and “rigid” It’s always good to keep things simple. With the slim and ergonomic design, carrying it every day will not weigh your phone down. With the Dynamic Defender phone case, we make protecting your phone elegant. Next Level Protection & Future Application Need more than protection?
