Instead of being installed over the entirety of the smartphone, the 'Rmour' case is individual pieces that are clipped onto the edges only. This allows the phone to operate as it should without having any case or other accoutrement in the way. The 'Rmour' iPhone case is crafted using a combination of [sterling silver and 18k gold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-covert-iphone-case). The main body of the silver case is crafted using sterling silver because of its ability to absorb shock. The gold helps it maintain a beautiful sheen and shine from the exterior of the design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Precious Metal Phone Cases:** The trend is towards luxurious phone cases made from precious metals for those who want both protection and an aesthetic impact. - **Minimalist Phone Case Design:** The trend is towards individual pieces that only clip to the corners of a phone for minimal, functional protection. - **Mixed-metal Phone Cases:** The trend is towards the combination of two or more metals in order to achieve a desired aesthetic, while still maintaining protection. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can explore offering premium phone accessories made from precious metals to tap into the luxury market. - **Jewelry and Accessories:** Jewelry and accessories companies can explore offering high-end phone cases made from precious metals to complement their current product lines. - **Metalworking:** Metalworking companies can explore the creation of custom luxury phone cases made from precious metals to cater to the high-end market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-smartphone-case.md) - [Kevlar Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugged-iphone-case.md) - [Opulent Smartphone Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gray-alter-ego-iphone-13-case.md) - [Imperceivable Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakey-smartphone-case.md) - [All-Angle Protection Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoshield-airx.md) - [Fashionable Inflated Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-case-2.md) - [Hyper-Cushioned Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercushionedsmartphone-case.md) - [Artisanal Leather Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryan-london-iphone-leather-case.md) - [Multifunctional Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upro.md)
