Beyond the Drop Test: How We Put Our Phone Cases Through 14 Rigorous Testing Points
When you invest in a phone case, you're trusting it to protect one of your most valuable daily companions. At MAM, we don't take that responsibility lightly. While many manufacturers stop at basic drop tests, we've developed a comprehensive 14-point testing protocol that ensures every case that bears our name delivers exceptional protection, comfort, and durability.
The Science Behind Superior Protection
Our testing process begins long before the first physical prototype is created. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we map out the optimal placement of air pockets within our dual-layer design. These strategically positioned air chambers aren't random—they're precisely calculated to absorb and distribute impact energy during falls, creating a cushioning system that far exceeds industry standards.
The 3D imaging allows us to visualize exactly how shock waves travel through the case material during impact, enabling us to fine-tune the internal structure for maximum protection. This isn't guesswork—it's engineering precision that ensures your phone survives those inevitable drops.

Comprehensive Testing That Goes the Distance
Our 14-point testing protocol examines every aspect of case performance:
Structural Integrity Testing evaluates how well our dual-layer construction holds up under stress. We simulate years of daily use through accelerated wear testing, ensuring the bond between our artistic outer shell and protective inner layer remains strong over time.
Print Hardening Assessment puts our sublimation ink designs through extreme conditions. We test UV resistance, scratch resistance, and color stability to guarantee that your vibrant artwork looks as stunning months later as it did on day one. The sublimation process creates a permanent bond with the case material, but we verify this durability through rigorous fade testing and abrasion resistance trials.
Precision Fit Analysis ensures every case provides that perfect, tight fit that smartphone users demand. Using 3D scanning of actual devices, we verify that our cases align perfectly with every port, button, and camera. Too loose and protection suffers; too tight and installation becomes frustrating. We've found that sweet spot through meticulous measurement and testing.
Edge Comfort Evaluation addresses a problem many case manufacturers ignore—comfort during extended use. Our smooth edge design undergoes tactile testing to ensure there are no sharp corners or rough spots that dig into fingers during prolonged phone use. We test grip comfort across different hand sizes and holding positions.
Impact Distribution Testing goes beyond simple drop tests. We analyze how impact energy travels through our air pocket system, measuring deceleration forces and verifying that shock is properly dispersed away from your device. Multiple impact angles and surfaces are tested to simulate real-world scenarios.
Real-World Scenarios, Laboratory Precision
Temperature Resistance Testing subjects our cases to extreme heat and cold, ensuring the materials maintain their protective properties whether you're in Arizona summer heat or Minnesota winter cold. The sustainable plastic materials we use are tested across a wide temperature range to verify consistent performance.
Chemical Resistance Assessment evaluates how our cases hold up against everyday substances—hand lotions, cleaning products, sweat, and oils. We want to ensure that daily life doesn't degrade your case's protective properties or appearance.
Wireless Charging Compatibility Testing verifies that our cases don't interfere with charging efficiency. We test with multiple wireless charger types and monitor charging speeds and heat generation to ensure seamless functionality.
Port Accessibility Verification examines every cutout for precision. We test cable insertion and removal forces, headphone jack access, and speaker port clarity to ensure your case never gets in the way of functionality.
Long-term Durability Assessment simulates months of pocket storage, bag tossing, and surface contact. We want to know how our cases age, ensuring they maintain both protection and aesthetics over their entire lifespan.
The Details That Matter
Camera Protection Analysis specifically tests how well our raised camera edges protect your phone's most vulnerable component. We verify clearance distances and impact resistance around camera modules, ensuring your lens stays pristine.
Screen Protection Verification confirms that our raised edges around the screen provide adequate protection when your phone lands face-down. We test various surface types and impact angles to verify screen safety.
Material Flexibility Testing ensures our silicone inner layer maintains the right balance of flexibility and strength. Too soft and it won't protect; too hard and installation becomes difficult. We've engineered the perfect compromise.
Quality Control Consistency involves testing random samples from production runs to ensure every case meets our standards. No case leaves our facility without meeting all 14 testing criteria.
Engineering Excellence You Can Feel
This comprehensive testing protocol means that when you hold a MAM case, you're experiencing the result of extensive engineering and quality assurance. Every smooth edge, every perfect fit, every vibrant design element has been validated through rigorous testing.
The strategic air pockets you can't see are positioned exactly where 3D modeling showed they'd be most effective. The comfortable edges underwent dozens of iterations to eliminate any pressure points. The precise fit was achieved through exhaustive measurement and refinement.
Trust Through Transparency
We believe you deserve to know that your case has been thoroughly tested, not just dropped a few times and called good enough. Our 14-point testing protocol represents our commitment to engineering excellence and your peace of mind.
When your phone inevitably faces that heart-stopping moment of gravity, you can trust that our comprehensive testing has prepared your MAM case for exactly that scenario—and dozens of others. Because protecting what matters to you is what matters most to us.
