What does '5 times as many drops as military standard' mean?

Is the case made from recycled materials?

Troubleshooting

MagSafe charger not connecting or charging slowly.

Ensure the case is properly aligned on the phone and the MagSafe charger is centered on the back of the case. Remove any debris from the magnets on both the case and the charger.

Difficulty attaching or removing the case.

Ensure you are following the correct procedure for installation and removal, typically starting from a corner and gently prying it open. Check for any obstructions around the case edges.

Verify that the port covers are securely closed. If debris is present, carefully use a soft brush or compressed air to clean the ports before closing the covers.
