Key players operating in the mobile phone protective cover market are concentrating on the development of advanced impact-protection designs, such as multi-layer air-cushion smartphone cases, to improve drop resistance, safeguard internal components, and enhance overall device durability. Multi-layer air-cushion smartphone cases utilize engineered materials and integrated air chambers to absorb and disperse impact energy during drops or shocks, enabling features such as improved shock absorption, pressure distribution, and structural reinforcement. For instance, in July 2025, RhinoShield, Inc., a Taiwan-based mobile accessories manufacturing company, introduced AirX, a smartphone protective case designed to shield devices from both external impact damage and internal stress resulting from drops. The case features a layered air-cushion architecture, reinforced shock-absorbing materials, and compatibility with a wide range of smartphone models. AirX enhances device protection, durability, and user confidence by lowering the risk of both physical and internal damage during everyday use.
