Not sure it fits?

Fitted by you, to your case, following the steps below. A part that comes loose, or damage caused by fitting a part incorrectly, is not a product fault.

How it is built

Eight moulded silicone corner guards, the same 3 mm wall as the set of four, enough to cover every corner of the case rather than only the ones that touch the ground when it is upright.

Suits these shells

Hard shell, polycarbonate
Flexes under load and springs back. Takes surface scuffing more than cracking.
Hard shell, ABS
Stiffer and more brittle than polycarbonate. Corners are the usual failure point.
Aluminium frame
A full cover fits badly over the frame lip. Corner and edge guards suit these better.
