Why We Choose to Supply Rokform in Canada: Emphasizing Protection

Regarding safeguarding our tech, not all phone cases are created equal. Many claim to offer robust protection, referencing MIL-STD-810 standards, yet often leave consumers puzzled about what they protect against. This standard, originally designed for U.S. military equipment, spells out rigorous environmental tests to ensure a product's lifetime durability. Among its many tests, the most relevant to phone cases is the MIL-STD 801G, particularly Test Method 516.6 for shocks and drops, simulating the most common form of phone accidents—drops onto hard surfaces.

At Rokform USA, adherence to MIL-STD 801G standards and exceeding them, specifically in the 516.6 transit drop test. This entails dropping a device from a height of 4 feet, 26 times, onto a plywood-over-concrete surface designed to mimic military transport scenarios. While MIL-STD certification does not necessarily equate to battlefield readiness—given the vastly different conditions—it does indicate a significant level of durability that consumer-grade equipment typically does not have.

It's worth noting that while MIL-STD certification doesn't cover aspects like water resistance or exposure to extreme temperatures, and the military doesn't test consumer products, the certification process itself is reliable. Tests are often conducted by manufacturers or third-party labs without mandatory government oversight, which can lead to discrepancies in marketed ruggedness. However, trusted companies like Rokform take these ratings seriously, supporting their claims with independent testing and backing their products with warranties and guarantees.
