On top of that, the natural aging of the case\u2019s plastic can cause it to change color, tarnishing the beautiful transparency it once had. Many cases these days, however, are treated with special coatings that help prevent this buildup, keeping them clearer for longer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do plastic cases absorb the shock from falls?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most plastic cases these days have rubber bumpers that can help reduce the amount of impact your phone receives from a fall. Sometimes these bumpers are hollow, creating an air pocket that helps absorb the shock. Other times, the rubber or plastic itself will absorb impact, minimizing the potential damage to your phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For When choosing our favorite basic cell phone cases, we looked for ones that are affordable, look good, feel great in your hand, and protect your phone well.
