Review: Much stronger than most people know about, I like the pewter color and the strength of the lightweight think material.

I was wondering why they made this cover out of this particular material.  The only other thing I know I have made with Polymer is my prescription lenses.  I know they are the best ones to get for my glasses because they are almost unbreakable, scratch less and are thinner and lighter than glass or other plastics.Here is a description of the material this cover is made with :Polycarbonate is a versatile, tough plastic used for a variety of applications, from bulletproof windows to compact disks (CDs). The main advantage of this material over other types of plastic is its great strength combined with light weight. While acrylic is 17% stronger than glass, polycarbonate is nearly unbreakable. Bulletproof windows and enclosures as seen inside banks or at drive-throughs are often made of this plastic. Add to this the advantage that it is just 1/3 the weight of acrylic, or 1/6 as heavy as glass, and the only drawback is that it is more expensive than either.I think we have underestimated this product based on this description.So if it seems flimsy it really is quite strong !
