Carbon Fiber Phone Case
Carbon fiber and forged carbon phone cases with a minimum thickness of 0.6 mm and a weight of 7.0 to 12.0 g, produced for iPhone 7 through iPhone XS Max.
What This Part Is and Why It Exists
Carbon fiber has the high strength to protect a phone properly, and the 3K texture makes the handset look different and more elegant. Because the material is strong at very small section, the minimum case thickness can be only 0.6 mm - thin enough that the case barely changes the shape of the phone in the hand.
Two surface families are produced. Standard 3K twill gives the regular woven pattern, while forged carbon gives a marbled random pattern where no two cases are identical. Both are available in red and black, and production time is 10 days or more depending on quantity.
Four Reasons Buyers Specify This Part
0.6 mm Minimum Thickness
The case protects without adding bulk, because carbon fiber is strong at a section where plastic would not be.
7.0 to 12.0 g
A finished case weighs between 7.0 and 12.0 g, which most users cannot feel against the phone alone.
Twill or Forged Surface
Regular 3K twill for an engineered look, or forged carbon for a marbled pattern unique to each piece.
Model Range Covered
iPhone 7, 8, 7 Plus, 8 Plus, X, XS, XR and XS Max are produced from existing tooling.
Where This Part Is Used
- Retail and e-commerce accessory ranges
- Corporate gifting for engineering and automotive brands
- Brand collaborations using a forged carbon surface
- Premium bundled accessories for hardware launches
Buyers This Part Was Made For
- Accessory brands and retailers
- Corporate gift buyers
- Marketing teams sourcing a technical-looking premium item
Three Failure Modes This Part Removes
Bulky protective cases
Most protective cases double the thickness of the phone; 0.6 mm does not.
Printed carbon that looks printed
A carbon pattern printed on plastic is obvious from arm's length.
Gifts that get thrown away
A promotional item in a real engineering material gets used, which is the whole point.

How It Compares
| Carbon fiber case | 0.6 mm thin at 7.0 to 12.0 g with real material texture |
| Forged carbon case | Same thinness, marbled pattern unique to each piece |
| Printed carbon-look TPU case | Cheapest and softest, but the pattern is printed and the case is thicker |
How to Specify and Order This Part
Pick the surface first - twill for a consistent engineered look across a batch, forged for pieces that are visibly individual. Confirm the handset model list before ordering, and allow the stated 10 days or more of production time on top of shipping.
