Protection Tips from Gorilla Gearheads
- Inspect reinforced corner zones every 60 days for compression set — large phones generate more drop leverage than compact phones.
- The Qi2 ring is positioned at the center of the back panel. Keep it free of metal shavings common in HVAC environments.
- Store the phone in a dedicated pouch rather than loose in a tool bag where edges can abrade the case exterior.
- The 1.8mm camera lip protects the triple-lens array. Check it monthly — any compression below 1.2mm requires case replacement.
- Re-seat the dual-layer case after extreme temperature changes, common when moving between outdoor heat and air-conditioned vehicles.
- Replace the case if the PC back shows any cracks crossing the center panel, even hairline fractures.
