History

Before 2013, self-healing protective cases were made using the in-mold decoration, IMD process. [2] The application of this technology was costly since it necessitated the use of a membrane that was attached to a film. The film was placed on the phone's screen to protect the screen. Therefore, buying protective cases was expensive at that time.

In 2013, a new panel coating technology geared to offer both screen and back panel protection, was discovered. The technology-enabled protective cases to withstand a scratching force of up to 750 grams. The protective cases would only take three minutes to self-heal from the scratching force. [2] In 2014, spray coating technology was discovered and later improved through research to form a transparent coat that prevented scratches. This technology brought the invention of the instant self-repair case. [2]

Honors and awards

Taer Innovation has won design awards, leading to a market footprint in more than thirty countries worldwide. Awards include the Good Design award from 2012 to 2014, [3] [4] [5] Golden Pin Design award, Taiwan Excellence award in 2014 and Computex d&I award in 2014 for their products.
