I've tried many covers but this is one of the best covers out there, this cooling and heating absorbing thing I can't say about because i dont feel any difference in that but overall for durability and usability its a great cover, i thought it would be difficult to handle due to the design it has but its actually very confortable in hand, (do note it has a good weight, so like me if you have a pro max version of iphone which is already heavy, it is going to add some good weight to it).
