The TPU case, due to its soft material construction (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), has the ability to absorb and smooth out fatal shocks from drops or impacts before they damage your device.

In addition to the level of protection, it is thin, fits very well, hugs the device, and has all the necessary openings (camera, buttons, speaker, etc.) where needed so you have immediate access without removing it, and it does not wear out the cover.
