whats the differences between 'armor' high polished and high polished?

I believe the "Armor" moniker is used for the heavier gauge metal used on the upper end Zippos. I'm pretty sure that the finish between the standard and armor models is the same. I've only got the armor models so all the above is just speculation on my part but in reviewing the previous answers just not, it seems a sound enough supposition.

They use a slightly heavier gauge brass in the construction of this model- hence the "armor" bit.

"armor" means that the lighter's metal walls are thicker than the usual Zippo. I've been very pleased with mine. I have two now - one that I've inserted a separately purchased butane insert and the other has the origninal. I love them both and would recommend both.

The "armor" line of Zippos has a thicker, more robust case that is less prone to denting when dropped or during pocket carry. The thickness of the case is about 1.5 times thicker than in a standard Zippo. Both of these lighters that are labeled "high polished" will be a polished brass (shiny and reflective) instead of having a brushed or matte finish.

the armor is 1.5 times thinker brass its a little heavyer.. itll stand up to more abuse. i love mine, much better than regualar.

Hi! In the description given lighters: "All metal construction about 1.5 times as thick as a standard Zippo case". I bought a "Armour" for this reason.

Sorry, I didn't see your question, the finish is somewhat shiny, I wouldn't say high gloss but certainly not flat.

Aside from the cosmetic differences, on the Spigen site it suggests that the Slim Armor has a better protection because of the material used to make that case. You can check out the information on Spigens site, they even have videos show casing the different cases. I would link you myself, but I'm unsure how Amazon handles direct linking to competitors.

It's smooth, but more a flat look than a super shiny. It doesn't look glossy, if that's what you are wondering. More of a smooth matte finish

The armor case adds more mm in height and width and a little more weight than the defender case. As I said in my review if the armor case no one mentioned the sound quality when make or receiving calls. If some one did I wouldn't of ordered it and returned it,

They are very similar, but just as the name suggest the slim armor is not as protective as the tough armor. The slim does not give as big of a lip to protect the screen and it has better corner protection.

The difference is the Mercer line of knives in the set. The set marked 'FORGED' is the Genesis line with softer handles and full bolsters, and the 'TEMPERED GLASS BLOCK SET' is the Renaissance line which has Delrin handles and short bolsters. I'm torn between the two as I would like to have the Genesis handles with short bolsters as I've read concerns they would be difficult to sharpen down the road, and issues with the knife not laying flush on the cutting surfaces from a 'hump' developing. They do offer the Genesis chef's knife with a short bolster, just not as part of a set as far as I know. I may be buying the knives separately, though I do like this block. I'll have to put the Renaissance's in my hand. The difference is the Mercer line of knives in the set.

There are a couple of YouTube videos discussing the Royale. From what I can gather, the differences are mostly cosmetic. I am certainly not an expert on the subject, but I think the videos will help you.

I am not quite sure what the difference is. The brackets I have are shiney.

From everything I've heard, they are identical under the skin, and it's just a cosmetic difference. But just to confirm, you should check the specs. to make sure.

It's kind of in between both. Hard to describe. Does have a semi shiny finish.

The only difference I can see between the two are maybe the finishes. One looks like it has a matte finish, while the other one is just the standard stainless steel.

It's polished. Not chrome like a bumper, but not dull or matte finished either

Not much. They're both exactly the same. Protection and look wise. But material is a bit different.

Just a guess, that it is easier to keep looking nice. The polished version requires more careful drying to remove water spots. We are very satisfied with the pot!

polished. very well respected by my plumber. I have used it for a while and I would recommend it.

Well, mine is pretty well balanced. There's not much difference between those two, but I like better the flat black finish on the goth.
