Homepage // News Center // Independent Testing Proves PolyOne Shock-Absorbing TPEs Protect Phone Cases from Impact Better Than TPUs Both iPhone cases used TPU on the exterior, while the control case used TPU on the interior and the second case used shock absorbing TPEs on the interior. In addition, the tests showed that a case made with Versaflex XP TPE dropped from 14 feet performs nearly the same as a TPU case dropped from 10 feet.
