These accessories provide external protection for a specific model of smartphone manufactured by Apple, released in 2015. They are designed to shield the device from scratches, impacts, and general wear and tear. A typical example would be a silicone cover that fits snugly around the phone’s body, absorbing shock from accidental drops.
The adoption of such protective measures significantly extends the lifespan of the device, preserving its resale value and reducing the likelihood of costly repairs. Their availability has created a robust market, driven by consumer demand for both functionality and personalization, evolving significantly since the smartphone’s initial release and subsequent models.
