Why carbon fiber cases are expensive and who actually needs them

Carbon fiber cases look high-tech and command a premium price. Let's do a quick carbon fiber cover pros cons analysis:

* **Pros**: Incredible tensile strength, ultra-thin profile, and extremely lightweight. * **Cons**: Very expensive, offers poor drop shock absorption (it doesn't compress like TPU), and can sometimes block cellular signals.

For most daily users, a hybrid TPU/PC case offers better drop protection at a fraction of the cost.
