What is the difference between a silicone and a plastic case?

A silicone case is soft and flexible, and it absorbs impact well. It grips in the hand, but it collects dust and yellows over time. A hard plastic (PC) case is thin and easy to keep clean, but it does not give under impact. For most people a TPU or hybrid case is the better compromise — it combines both.

How do I choose the right case?

Choose for the way you actually use the phone: if you drop it often, take a rugged case; if you want to keep the phone slim, TPU or silicone is enough; if you want to carry cards, pick a wallet case. Above all, check that the case is made for your exact phone model.

Does a case protect against drops?

Yes, though how much depends on the type. A thin silicone case keeps scratches away and helps with low falls. Rugged cases such as UAG or Spigen Tough Armor are drop-tested from 2–3 metres and give the most protection.

Why does a clear silicone case turn yellow?

UV light and the natural oils on your skin cause it. It is normal and cannot be prevented entirely. Tip: a darker colour or a clear TPU case yellows far less visibly.

Description

Case-Mate Tough Black is a slim black one-piece case made specifically for Samsung Galaxy S24+. Its understated matte design covers the back and sides, while flexible edges and cushioned corners provide grip and help absorb impact.

Case-Mate states that the case was tested for drops up to 12 ft (about 3.7 m). This is a controlled-test result, not a guarantee against every fall or all damage; the raised rim only helps reduce direct contact with the screen and camera area.
The case is made with recycled materials and has an anti-scratch coating. No antimicrobial or waterproof property is claimed for this variant.
The case is compatible with standard wireless charging. Charging speed and alignment depend on the phone and charger. Clean it with a soft damp cloth and keep grit away from the inside; no coating can prevent every mark or sign of wear.

The package contains one Case-Mate Tough Black case for Samsung Galaxy S24+. The phone, screen or lens protectors, charger and magnetic accessories are not included.
