The post released by Kosutami, the ▲ source, found in the photos released by Kosutami that the surface of one of the protective cases had a frame drawn with a fountain pen, and the relevant test engineers dropped different chemical liquids into the frame to test the tolerance of the protective shell.

The ▲ image source Kosutami posted a post and another protective shell is used for the "iron ball drop" test. The surface of the protective shell has a circle of radial dots around Apple's Logo.
