Can an iPhone case be made of Legos?
Will the phone survive a 15 foot drop test?
Let's get creative and find out!
All right everybody, this is one of my favorite projects that we're probably
going to do the entire time!
It is the Lego challenge and I don't know about
you, but we're all pretty pumped to get started.
How about you guys?
Alright, so here's the goal. Here are the rules.
We're going to make cases out of
Legos for an old school iPod touch,
an old school, really old school, click wheel iPod touch.
We then have an iPhone, I think it's an iPhone 4.
The goal is to use Legos we have, just an assortment of Legos,
there's nothing in particular.
I have mixed them all up.
You could use as few or as many as you have laying around.
The goal is to create a case for each one of these devices, and there are
three criteria that you are going to get judged on.
One is style, like how cool does it look, your colors, things like that.
The second is creativity.
What did you add to it like,
for example, maybe you add a little container that I can put my air pods in.
The third category is durability, which is going to be pretty awesome.
I'm gonna give everyone here about 30 minutes to work and then we're
gonna head outside to do some quasi scientific testing.
All right lets gets get started!
I think it's coming, I think it's coming great. I think they're gonna lose.
It's like a box, but I'm gonna put two layers of random pieces on top of this.
So, I'm going for style. I got the style points, and you always need this shovel in life.
If you don't have one you can't live.
I'm building a phone case, of course, and
I'm going to do a top layer in here so it's like safe in this little box.
We're gonna see how that works out.
So, we finished up, it took a little longer than a half an hour to do this
but, let's quickly review the three different prototypes we have and then
we're going to do our testing.
It's called the shovel.
The shovel because it has the epic shovel, right?
One of my favorite things about Phoenix's is he actually has a workable
click wheel. and the screen is protected which is pretty awesome.
I went for a different modern thing from theirs,
I did flat.
I love that it's got air flow, yes, and then tell me what's on the back?
What is this supposed to be?
It's a pop socket.
I'm pretty certain I have never seen a Lego pop socket.
Just on durability because I wanted it to survive the fall,
so it has a bunch of layers and then once I take
the screen protector off it has on and off button and stuff.
Alright, so we're going to bring over a very special guest my neighbor Erin to judge.
First, let's see if she's up for some social distancing communication.
Erin, would you like to come over and judge?
Yes!
Alright, come on over let's get started!
First test, the casual walk and drop.
The iPod Touch Lego case did great, no cracks.
Second test, 15-foot drop from a ladder.
Even at 15 feet, the iPod Touch still didn't crack!
Test number three, no case at all.
Not that bad, I mean, just a couple cracks considering.
All right, test two. We must move on!
Not even a scratch on this click wheel iPod!
Even at fifteen feet this old-school ipod did awesome.
Again, not a single crack! Man, alright!
Man, all right, with only a few minor scratches the iPhone four passed.
We did take a direct hit on that bad boy.
Unfortunately, the Lego case didn't
absorb all of the shock this time, and it failed.
Oh yeah, that's a bad one!
That's a bad one!
Can I see?
Check that out.
Yeah, that's bad, that's a bad one!
Alright, so we got all three tests done.
Here's my take away.
Lego makes a really good case!
Like it explodes and you have to rebuild ,right, but I'm pretty impressed.
To decide who is the winner we're going to get back with our secret judge, not so secret neighbor Erin.
Erin, social distancing judge,
What did you come up with?
For style...
Well, the winner was number three!
Zara, style points I kind of agree with that.
The Pop socket, the pop socket was all that and then some.
What's category two?
Number three again!
What!?
So okay, all right, all right, way to go!
Third category?
Durability.
Number two, number two who is number two?
Phoenix won on, will call it the engineering category.
Very good, very good!
Epic destruction?
Number three, just was like, off the charts.
Man, in a surprise turn of events I think our youngest contestant barely pulled it off!
So, this is my disclaimer at the end of
this episode, please do not do your phone.
If you have an old phone, awesome, maybe
you can drop it with permission, but otherwise, I got a admit it's pretty fun
just building the cases, and honestly, a lot more difficult than we thought.
Please, if you have a picture of what you make or video tag us and we'd love to see it.
We'll see you on the next project
