What is 'Military-Grade Testing'?
Before you trust them to help protect your phone, our drop-proof phone cases undergo rigorous military-grade testing. That’s what it means to be made for these parts.
What is it?
We use 810H certification as our standard. To pass the most recent military standard of 810H - Transit Drop, the case containing the device is to survive a drop from 1.22 metres, 26 times.
The detail:
- Test Method: MIL-STD-810H-2019 / MIL-STD-810H-2022 Method 516.8 Section 4.6.5 Procedure IV - Transit Drop
- Drop Height: 122 cm / 4ft
- Drop Times: Drop on each face (6x), edge (8x) and corner (12x)
The results:

A note on new product launches:
To ensure products are ready in time for new device launches, Sprout sometimes manufactures cases before functional models are ready to test with them. When this happens, Sprout's testing is completed on the previous model equivalents. Testing is always completed by a specialist laboratory, independent to Sprout.
