The <strong>ZIZO Bolt Series<\/strong> was one of six finalists to successfully protect the phone from damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the true test came next: the <strong>\u201cBreaking Point\u201d challenge<\/strong>, where a <strong>2-lb steel ball<\/strong> was dropped from 4 feet onto each phone\u2019s screen\u2014simulating a direct impact comparable to a 100-foot fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Only one phone remained intact:<\/strong> The ZIZO Bolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis wasn\u2019t luck. This was engineering,\u201d said <strong>Vicente Navarro<\/strong>, ZIZO Wireless spokesperson. \u201cWe design for the worst-case scenario. That steel-ball test proved Bolt is more than rugged\u2014it\u2019s elite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imore.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iMore\u2019s CES 2019 recap<\/a>, the Bolt was the <strong>only phone that wasn\u2019t completely demolished<\/strong> in the final round\u2014beating cases from Catalyst, Griffin, Gearlock, Caseology, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bolt\u2019s success is owed to its <strong>hybrid dual-layer armor<\/strong>, <strong>9H tempered-glass screen protector<\/strong>, <strong>kickstand<\/strong>, and <strong>360\u00b0 holster clip<\/strong>. Following the test, ZIZO issued an official media statement naming Bolt the <em>\u201cToughest iPhone XR Case @ CES\u201d<\/em>\u2014and celebrated a rare <strong>back-to-back drop-test win<\/strong> at the world\u2019s biggest tech stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the ZIZO Bolt Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Twice tested.
