Tech21 EvoArmor MagSafe Compatible Case for iPhone 16 Pro Max
Lower PFAS concern, TPU phone cases rarely use PFAS coatings, but Tech21 offers no disclosure.
Tech21's EvoArmor cases are primarily TPU elastomer and polycarbonate, materials not typically treated with PFAS. Phone case protective coatings rarely require fluorochemistry. Tech21 makes no PFAS claim or disclosure; the company's silence is typical for the category but limits full transparency.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
