I do think the seal on this Peel case wraps around the phone a bit cleaner than on the Torras which I have noticed is a bit of a dust trap in those areas. The lip on the front side however is just about standard with what lips on other phone cases are at nowadays. The lens protection seems to protrude just enough to provide the absolute minimum distance needed to potentially keep the lenses from hitting a surface first. Like other bumper cases, the Super Thin Bumper Case from Peel is made of a protective polymer that provides a lip around the screen and the lenses of the phone. I guess there’s really only so much you can do with this form factor. To the naked eye, they could pass off as the same product just in different colors. I was a bit shocked to see just how nearly exact the molds of both of the Peel and Torras cases were side by side. Like the Peel case we have here, the Torras case is also a bumper case with a matte translucent back that attempts to be as slim as possible.

For example, the iPhone 13 Pro case I’ve been using for months now is from a company called Torrasthat I bought on Amazon for less than $20.
Peel and their competitor PHNX (formerly MNML) have really elevated their reputation as case makers into a tier above many of the other brands sold on Amazon. So how exactly does Peel propose to make a bumper case yet retain their signature “barely there” mentality? Wouldn’t the concept of a bumper case go completely against the core competencies of their company motto? The Peel bumper case for the iPhone 13 Pro costs $45 and comes in a packaging that matches the price tag. It’s a literal buffer for the phone if it’s dropped onto a surface. Does it succeed and is it worth the premium price tag? What’s a thin bumper case?īumper cases by definition add a layer of additional bulk to a phone case. This is the newest Peel design called the Super Thin Bumper Case and it focuses first and foremost on protection while also attempting to maintain that signature thinness the company is known for. With my iPhone 13 Pro having been in my pocket for more months than I had originally anticipated, I decided to explore another case now that the market has saturated itself with many more options than during launch time.
The Peel case would potentially help keep the back side of the phone from being scratched up. It legitimately could be seen as like what Paint Protection Film (PPF) does for cars. There wasn’t a lip or a bumper or any sort of cushion for if the phone was dropped onto a surface. The tradeoff was, of course, the little to no protection the form factor would provide. It was as close to not having a case as humanly possible. The original Peel case was an extremely thin piece of plastic your phone would essentially mold itself into. One of my favorite types of cases to allow for not only the design of the phone to be shown off, but to also keep the added bulk at a minimum is from a company called Peel. There’s a lot of people out there with iPhones who want to go naked, but feel immense pressure to case up their devices due to the fragile nature of modern smartphones.
