The line between semi-hard and soft cases is blurry. Here is the honest comparison for buyers.
Soft cases
- Fabric + foam only, no rigid core.
- Folds flat, lightest option.
- Protection: dust and light bumps.
Semi-hard
- Rigid core (EVA/ABS) inside fabric.
- Keeps shape, resists crushing.
- Protection: drops and pressure.
- Heavier than soft, lighter than hard.
Test to tell them apart
Press the side: soft caves in; semi-hard springs back. Squeeze the corners: rigid core holds.
We make both and can dual-brand. Browse semi-hard.
