About Print Longevity & Care
Your new phone case features a vibrant, full-color print that's designed to be as tough as it is stylish. However, it's important to understand that all printed cases will naturally fade over timedue to daily wear. This isn't a defect, but a natural characteristic of how printed products age.

Why does this happen?
The print on your case is durable, but it's not impervious to the world. Four main factors contribute to gradual fading:
- Body Chemistry: The natural oils and slight acidity in hand sweat slowly break down the inks.
- Everyday Chemicals: Direct and repeated contact with alcohol-based hand sanitizers, lotions, perfumes, and sunscreens can accelerate fading.
- Friction: The simple act of pulling your phone from pockets and bags creates micro-abrasions that soften the print's vibrancy.
- Sunlight: Keeping your case in direct sunlight for extended periods of time can cause the print to fade.
How can I make my print last longer?
To help preserve the design for as long as possible, we recommend:
- Gently wiping your case with a soft, slightly damp cloth every so often to remove oil and residue.
- Minimizing direct exposure to hand sanitizer and lotions. Let them dry fully before handling your phone.
- Storing your phone in a separate pocket away from keys or abrasive materials.
Think of the fade like the well-loved look of your favorite jeans or leather boots—it’s a sign of character and use. While the print may soften, the case’s protective core remains strong, ensuring your phone is always safe.
