An enclosure designed to protect a specific model of smartphone, Google’s Pixel 6, safeguarding it from physical damage such as scratches, dents, and cracks to the screen and body. These protective accessories are typically made of materials like plastic, silicone, rubber, or a combination thereof, and come in a variety of styles ranging from slim and minimalist to rugged and heavy-duty.
The use of protective covers significantly extends the lifespan of the device, preserving its resale value and preventing costly repairs. Historically, early mobile phones were often considered disposable, but as smartphones have become more integrated into daily life and more expensive, the demand for protective measures has risen. This demand has spurred innovation in materials science and design, leading to a wide array of options catering to different user needs and aesthetic preferences.
