It also features strong Dura Guard frame to ensure maximum durability. On the back and bottom of the display, resilient but soft Dura Skin offers added protection from direct impacts to the device. Dura Skin is soft to the touch but also is highly resistant to nicks and scratches. The back grid pattern design offers more secure grip to LG V10.
