Protective accessories designed for a specific Apple smartphone model, the iPhone 6s, typically consist of a housing that encases the device and a transparent layer applied to the screen. These items offer a safeguard against physical damage, such as scratches, impacts, and minor spills. The combination aims to preserve the device’s aesthetic appeal and functionality over its lifespan.
The adoption of such safeguarding measures has become widespread due to the inherent fragility of smartphones and the cost associated with their repair or replacement. These accessories extend the usability of the device, maintaining its resale value and reducing the frequency of potentially disruptive repairs. Early adoption was driven by user experience and gradually developed into a multi-million dollar industry.
