Just to give you a clue as to how strong Kevlar is, they make bullet proof vest out of it!

Strong enough for you?

Kevlar is a great material. I would think that this would be great for a protective case. Should stop a bullet!

The link above does not take me anywhere. Is the product no longer available? I did look at other Kevlar phone cases but they seem thick and dense! It does not seem thin at all. Maybe the product that you were trying to show is thinner?

Just gotta be careful around fire (bonfires, camping). Has low flammability. Wouldn't want to set your phone on fire after spending that much on a Kevlar case Wink
