We’re not new to the market.
We bring years of experience in product development, countless tests and a sharp eye for detail.
When launching NIVOCASE, we made a conscious decision not just to use this expertise, but to make it visible. That’s why we created the NIVOCASE Test Lab — our in‑house testing environment where we deliberately push products to their limits.
Our belief is simple:
Protection should be proven, not just promised.
In the accessories market, many products claim to offer so‑called “military‑grade” protection. This usually refers to the US military standard MIL‑STD‑810, a comprehensive testing framework designed to assess durability under extreme conditions.
The standard includes a wide range of test methods, such as drops, vibrations, temperature changes, humidity and dust exposure.
One of the most well‑known is the drop test method 516.6 of MIL‑STD‑810G, where devices are dropped repeatedly from defined heights and angles to evaluate their robustness.
These standards matter.
They show how structured, repeatable and rigorous durability testing can be.
We deliberately chose not to simply adopt an existing military standard or recreate it one‑to‑one.
Why?
Because our products, our customers and real‑world usage scenarios are different.
Instead, we took proven testing principles as inspiration and developed our own in‑house standard — tailored specifically to:
real everyday situations
typical usage habits
our materials, constructions and designs
our expectations of safety, durability and trust
The NIVOCASE Test Lab isn’t a certification space.
It’s a development space.
Here, tests are built around our products — not the other way round.
At the NIVOCASE Test Lab, we currently focus on four core testing procedures.
Each one examines a different aspect of protection and everyday usability — all with one clear objective: protection you can rely on.
Drops are part of everyday life — whether from a pocket, a desk or on the move.
In our Drop Test, we evaluate how our cases absorb impacts from different heights and angles, and how well they continue to perform afterwards.
👉 Focus: impact protection & functionality
Not all damage is caused by drops.
Friction, movement, pocket contents and constant use all take their toll over time.
The Daily Use Test simulates long‑term everyday use and focuses on wear, appearance and material performance.
👉 Focus: everyday use, durability & long‑term performance
Straps add freedom — and they need to be reliable.
In the Strap Test, we assess the strength of straps and their attachment to the case under tensile load.
What we measure isn’t feel, but force.
And what we evaluate isn’t just strength, but controlled behaviour under extreme conditions.
👉 Focus: safety & confidence when carrying
Design is optional. Quality isn’t.
If a print is on a case, it has to stay there.
In the Print Stress Test, we evaluate print durability under repeated friction with fabrics — just like it happens in everyday use.
👉 Focus: design integrity & print durability
Protection isn’t a label. It’s a process.
At the NIVOCASE Test Lab, we continuously refine our products through iteration.
For us, testing isn’t an endpoint — it’s a tool.
We test.
We learn.
We improve.
And that’s exactly how we create phone cases that don’t just look good, but perform in everyday life.

he NIVOCASE Test Lab is our in‑house testing environment where we develop, test and refine our phone cases. This is where our testing methods, machines and proprietary quality standards are created.
“Military Grade” refers to the US military standard MIL‑STD‑810, which is widely regarded as a benchmark for structured durability testing.
No. Testing is a continuous process for us. Results feed directly into the ongoing development of our products. We test, learn and improve — continuously.
You get a phone case whose protection isn’t based on assumptions, but on tested real‑world stress. That gives you confidence — without having to worry about tests or technical details yourself.
