In the practical test, the edge protector from Mutkind fulfilled expectations in every respect. The perfect fit ensures that the edge protector fits snugly and has no visible gaps, so that the protective function is fully guaranteed. In addition, the edge protector shows excellent adhesion to all tested surfaces; no part of the product lifts even slightly, which speaks in favour of reliable application.
The excellent impact resistance has been proven by several consecutive impacts without visible damage or deformation. The material also impresses with its exceptional flexibility, as it easily returns to its original shape both at room temperature and at low temperatures. Another plus point is the effortless removal of the edge protector, which leaves no residue or damage whatsoever. All in all, Mutkind lives up to its advertising promises and offers a product that is both functional and user-friendly.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
At the time of testing, the product was not yet officially listed on Amazon. Therefore, no other reviews are available, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €23.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €15.99 . With a price of €19.99, the Mutkind edge protector is therefore currently in the middle price segment. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
