- Welcome to another Tekk Talk Tuesday.
and today we um, ah.
Sorry about that, let's just move that one out of the way.
(upbeat music)
Now, today we have something lined up for you
but first of all, technically it's a first
'cause now we are unboxing post
and it's post that I don't know about.
So, it's gonna be a bit different
we gonna go through this and then crack on
with a few other things
that I've got to say in this week's video.
This is the Spigen iPhone case.
I upgraded to the iPhone 11 Pro Max.
Ridiculous number of cameras, but the one problem I've had
is my car charger will stick to the back of the last iPhone
but it doesn't stick to the back of this one.
Because it's a matte finish, it's not shiny, it's not glass.
Really, really, really thin.
Anyway.
So, these two things I have no idea what they are.
They could be really boring things that I've ordered,
forgotten about
and then obviously opened in front of the camera.
So, this might not even see the light of day.
But, so let's go for the small one to start with.
This one's from, er, okay, this one's from Thortful.
Let's see what's, what is it gonna be? What do you think?
Oh!
Still none the wiser.
It is a card.
Oo!
Oh, now that I like,
gin and tonic organic dark chocolate bar.
"Hi Pete, a gift to say a great big thank you
over the last three years we worked hard
to grow our community of creators.
Andy, Andrew Pierce, co-founder."
Thank you, Andy.
The other one's as exciting that one.
(plastic crinkling)
(chocolate breaks)
(chewing)
Yeah, my rating,
good!
Continue that one later tonight.

David at Shield-IT Services.
"We know you like opening boxes,
don't we all?
We also love your enthusiasm in your videos.
So, we would love to know your thoughts
on our Tornado Wireless Fast Charging Docks.
Please find enclosed some
of our own branded Tornado goodies.
Okay.
Some, oh wow okay,
EVA Tough Impact Protection Case.
Great for storing and protecting those gadgets.
Wireless Magnetic Fast Charger.
That's awesome, okay. (laughing)
Another Wireless Magnetic Fast Charger.
And there are four
RFID Car Key Blockers.
For those of you who might not be aware
the Teslas in particular, but there is also an issue
with any keyless entry car.
So, there have been a load of thefts reported
where people would come up to your house
in the middle of the night, they'll wave
a bag around your front door, wave another bag
around your car and your car will just instantly unlock.
And, if you didn't want to switch off wireless entry,
keyless entry sorry, you could keep it on,
but then you just slip your key fob into one
of these bags and it blocks the signal.
Well, this is a,
this is a first for the Tekk Talk Tuesday video
and I'm a bit stunned.
So, the thing is, I was about to contact David
to ask for, where this, where I was having problems
with my iPhone 11 and it wasn't sticking to the charger.
Actually this has come at a very fortuitous time for me,
because I don't have to go and spend some money with David.
So, I think what that means today is
it's gonna be a product review video.
Because I really wanna go and fit
these new gadgety things to my car
and see where we go, so yeah, onwards to the car.
Right, so firstly we just gonna see
what the new phone case does.
This is the Spigen
dunno, Spigen thin case.
And,
see if it survives the nano suction test.
(thuds)
Ah, it lasts for like a split second
so that's a, that's a definite no.
Were it glass, like the front of the iPhone 11
then it would
stick on, just like so.
And this would wirelessly charge
the iPhone at the same time.
So, it's so easy literally and it's you know,
it takes a fair bit of force to get off.
So, you literally get in the car, pop this in the charger
and it just charges.
And, it's just so straight forward.
You don't have to dock it,
you don't have to plug a cable in,
it stays there and it's so, so simple.
But unfortunately because the back of the phone
is not glass, it does not work anymore.
So, let's just peel that off again.
(tearing)
Gonna go with the smallest bit.
And then take this off.
(relaxed music)
Like so.
What we gonna do is we gonna put said stickers
which has magnets in it there.
Okay, so magnet is now, firmly attached to the phone case.
I have these very, very ridiculously strong magnets.
Which I'm gonna put into the charger.
Although it seems that David has short-changed me
I have three magnets and not a fourth.
But I'm sure that will, by the strength of them
will probably do what I need them to do.
So, I'm gonna pop one, in the other corner
and the bottom corner as well.
(relaxed music)
I fixed it, so this was using my existing case.
So I bought, I bought a previous case
from David and Shield-IT.
One of the Tornado chargers like this one.
Well, it is this one, and it didn't have any magnets in
because it was one of the nano cases
and so, what they've seem to have done is use
the exact same product, but haven't fitted magnets into it.
Instead, they've just attached the sticky nano,
the nano pads to the front of it so it sticks to any phone.
But of course, that caused me problems now
with the new iPhone 11
Pro Max.
Right, let's try the case first.
Okay, let's try it with the weight of the phone in.
This is gonna be a learning experience for everybody.
Cool, so this is just an extra,
kinda just pads they gave me,
so I can stick on top of the charger, fully
finished.
So, whilst I am here, I am just gonna fix something else
that I had an issue with.
I've got, you probably can't see from there
but there's some sticky wedges here underneath the charger
where I decided to move it once.
And, so this cable here, just to explain.
This cable just runs down underneath the steering wheel
and down into some cigarette charger
sockets that I've got in the front of my dash here.
So, I can charge my phone.
So obviously you can run this down the trim of your car
into whichever cigarette socket you can get to,
but it's nicely tucked away.
Four pounds, some rubbing alcohol.
(tearing)
There we go.
(relaxed music)
Put it where it should have always been.
So, after a bit of further testing,
I'm not convinced, I'm still not sure
it's gonna hold
the weight of the phone whilst driving.
Let's just try something.
Now, the one thing that you need to do
with a Tesla,
is test the acceleration.
If it can stick on whilst you're accelerating.
Now, I don't have Ludicrous mode on this car
just to be clear, I don't have Ludicrous.
But, let's see.
(phone clanks)
(beeps)
So, the charger definitely does not
survive the Ludicrous, not even Ludicrous.
Just, it does not survive
fast acceleration.
So, back to the drawing board on that one.
(car door bangs)
So, it is now the next day, as you might be able to tell
and I've actually managed to fix it.
I ended up putting in two magnetic stickers
on top of each other on the back of the phone.
But now, it sticks to the car charger.
It charges, it survives some pretty harsh acceleration
and some quick launches.
I can now say that this is by all means
the best car charger case combo
for a mobile phone charging for convenience in your car.
So, if you wanna get one,
link will be in the description below
and, back to the office.
So, I seem to have an excess of chargers,
of cases, of
RFID key blockers.
So, I think what I'm gonna do,
might as well give them away really.
Could probably like look up a bit more really, shouldn't it?
(relaxed music) So, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna run this
on our YouTube channel.
So, head over to youtube.com/tekkersitsolutions
or if you're watching this on a different platform
click on the link below, I'll pop it in there,
and you can do it from there.
All you need to do, drop a comment below
and just comment what you want to win.
So, if you want to win the wireless charging charger
and the sticker, so you can connect your phone
and attach that, just comment the wireless charger.
If you want to win the tough case, comment tough case.
And, if you want to win the RFID pouch, just comment pouch.
Or, something like that.
And, what I'll do is I will pick a comment at random
for each of those prizes.
Obviously we have one charger, one Tornado Tough Case,
and four RFID pouches.
Very much not sponsored, he didn't ask me to do a video.
He didn't ask me to give away any free stuff.
Personally blown away.
So, if anybody else out there would like to sponsor
or give me some free stuff.
But anyway, the next video will be coming to you
from Barcelona, because we having a bit of a work trip.
Our first work trip in nine years
where we get to go abroad.
So, pumped for that one.
But I'll try and keep it on topic,
certainly more on topic than this one.
So, anyway, thanks for watching.
Talk to you next one, bye-bye.
