After I put it to the test playing my favorite video game my controllers were still in great condition .The protective material is sturdy and durable, YET doesn't affect gameplay or functionality in any way. It's a great way to enhance your gaming experience and prolong the life of your controllers. The only downside is that it does add a bit of bulk to the controllers, but it`s a small price to pay for the added protection. Overall, I highly recommend this product for any avid PS4 gamer..
