Are these cases made with FDA approved plastic?

Not sure if FDA approved plastic. Only used them while orthodontist was out on vacation.

I don't know, but not aware of FDA having jurisdiction since it does not come in direct contact with food or water.

They are made of a flexible plastic (called TPU). They won't break if you drop them like hard plastic and do not have the gripping quality that silicone cases would have.

I bought a case and loved the savings, but was also disappointed it was in plastic. The company was great to deal with, but they should realize that anyone buying this product is health conscious and would want it in glass.

No plastic case. They were just individually wrapped and stuffed in the box.

I don't believe they are. There is no documentation of that. I would email the company to find out for sure, but that is something that companies usually brage about on a box if it is BPA free

No info of that type is provided. It says that it's made from FDA approved materials. I love mine.

They have so far. I use the Ballistic case for mine. Maybe the rubber corners help hold it down. Hope this helps you.

It does not state on the package anywhere. I would assume that they are. They seem to be made of durable plastic.

It does not say anything about BPA or FDA approved materials on the package. You may want to email the seller for more information.

Yes; they are made of silicone, not plastic (BPA is typically found in plastics, as coating in cans and on certain papers...like receipts with a glossy side). Not sure what they used for coloring the silicone, but I imagine it's pretty safe.

No they are not. Additionally, the case is plastic and the closing mechanism was broken when I received it. However, it was not difficult to swap out the parts.

I suspect the case material, plastic vs. stainless steel, is the only difference. They are still playing with their pricing scheme.

Yes, they are. The hard plastic shell does not cover the corners and the rubber is thicker and raised.
