- Have you ever seen those products on Amazon
which seemed to have a multitude
more reviews
than similar products?
Well, today I took the top selling
iPhone 12
cases
for iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 pro
and we ordered them and I'm going to unbox those top five.
And actually I bought seven
but top five and two bonus cases
cause two was just really interesting.
I'm going to unbox them and tell you if they're good
if they're worth the thousands of reviews or if they suck
and it's a bunch of hokum
and paid advertisement pave review, let's get right into it.
So I have my trusty iPhone 12 here.
This is the red version and I have an iPhone 12 case.
As you can see here with the iPhone 12 case
they really fit really well, of course, made by apple.
This is the gold standard of cases because it just
is made to perfectly compliment a fit.
The buttons work really well.
The tactile feedback is really well.
You get the raised camera, a lens protection
but we're looking at Amazon cases.
So we're going to pop that off.
And in no particular order, I'm going to start
with the
DIA Clara.
The, this is a case, again, all these are off Amazon
this case, thousands of reviews.
Let's see if it is really worth it.
Let's get into this case here without maiming myself.
Here we go.
There's that?
So let's pop that over here.
You get the instruction manual that tells you a little bit
about it.
Lifetime, a limited lifetime warranty, advanced clarity
and shock absorption.
So this one tells you to please make sure there's
no screen protector on your phone.
So we're going to make sure of that.
Here you go.
We don't have a screen protector on this phone
so we're good to go there.
Cause this one has built in
screen protection.
Plop the phone in there.
Okay. Phone is in the top
and
there we go.
It is
a good fit.
This phone case really is nice.
It really allows you to show off the color on your phone.
This is a clear case
and it also has screen protection on the front.
Now I did touch the back of this quite a bit.
So if I was going to re-install
this I'd want to be more careful
about that because there are fingerprints all over this.
The
buttons
the tactile feedback is really good.
I don't think you're
going to have any problems there.
The cutouts look real precise on the, over the lenses
the camera lenses the downside of this case is
it is a fingerprint magnet.
So I was touching on the outside and it got just
really well smudged up.
So I liked the protection.
I liked the way it fits in the case, but in terms
of these fingerprints and how fingerprint prone it is
I'm really going to give this case like a two
and a half to three stars, because I mean
this plastic cover, it's just, it's just, oh gosh
these fingerprints not good, not good.
So two and a half out of five on that, moving on.
The next case we're going to look at is Spigen's iPhone 12
pro 12 case.
They're tough armor case.
This is the spigen tough armor.
I really liked spigen cases.
They're really good cases.
And they usually protect well, they do well.
They don't put too much bulk on your devices.
So let's get into this spigen armor pro
(plastic rustling)
All right.
So let's plop this.
One of the things I like about this spigen
tough armor case
is
that it has a kickstand.
Let's see if the kickstand is worth anything.
Okay. So,
so it does keep your phone in landscape mode
but it is not
the angle on that is not very good.
It's not very high.
It's not like, you know, if you had it up here
it's pretty laid back pretty far back.
But on the other end
it has some good raised edges that are really
going to keep you
from having your display sit flat on a surface.
The buttons, the tactile feedback
on these buttons is excellent.
The protection on this case is really solid
and you get your apple logo in the back here.
You're going to be able to see
that you have raised camera protection here.
So that is a really solid case in regards to its protection.
You get the cut out here for the, the notification toggle.
So that's really good as well.
So overall, a good case the kickstand sucks, sorry.
It's really not a great kickstand
but the case itself is really good.
And the kickstand will get you a phone that will be propped
up so you can watch on the desk.
The angle is probably ideal actually for the height
you're going to be sitting at your desk.
I wish it had more, a greater ability to position it.
Very good case overall, I'm going to give it three
out of five stars for the protection.
And next let's look at another spigen
and this is their ultra hybrid case.
This one had quite a few reviews
on Amazon.
So I expect this to actually be a really good case.
Let's see what it does here
and the install
you just
push it in there.
There we go.
Cases is in, just like the previous case
tactile feedback, the buttons are really good.
Those are really going to work really well.
You have the cutout really good solid cutout for the toggle
for the notification toggle.
And it's just your basic case.
And as you can see the red and the case reads really well
through the crystal clear case, this chris
this clear back
is
a bit of a fingerprint actually
yeah, it's a bit of a fingerprint magnet,
not too bad though.
So I'm going to give this case a three
and a half out of five stars.
It has raised protection for your lenses.
The buttons are solid.
The cutouts are solid.
This is a good quality, good, solid case.
I can see why this has so many stars.
It's inexpensive, and for the amount
of money that you're going to pay for this case
you're going to get a solid case and let's move on.
The next case is a mira case.
This case is more like the iPhone case that I took the phone
out of initially
and
where this is a silicone case with kind
of this felt back and magnetic charging circle on it.
This is a similar type case
a little heavier on the silicone.
It has a soft touch to it.
It's great.
It has raised edges on the lens here.
So you're going to have that
those raised edges are really nice
aside from the raised edges.
You're also going to have a lip on there
so that you can protect that phone.
So definitely have that lip there to keep that protected.
And the tactile feedback on the buttons is really good.
The only thing is this hole
for the notification switches a little tight.
If you have smaller hands, you're going to be fine.
The cutouts are really solid on this.
That's a really good case.
That is the mira case.
And I have to say in terms of quality, it has the felt
on the inside, like the iPhone case in terms of quality.
That is a really good case.
So this one I'm actually going to give a four out of five.
It's basic, it's simple, it's silicone
but it really is a solid case.
And it really does kind of
give you the feeling that it came
from apple, that it is, it is really high quality
real with real high quality cutouts
and a good quality feel like it's going to last you
a good long time.
So let's get to this next case.
This is
from ESR.
Let's get into this.
And of course I'll have links for all
of these in the description below
the ESR case is one
of their crystal clays crystal cases.
So you just pop that in there.
And again, with the product red iPhone
you'll see this displays your iPhone really well.
That's really nice.
And I really liked the look of this case.
I like the angular edges.
The cutouts are really nice.
They're they're really well done.
So you're not going to be missing out there.
Let's see if we can get this to focus.
The other co the cutouts are really nice there.
So that's really cool.
And again
You really do
see
how this case shows off
and really showcases your product, red iPhone, or any color.
I know people are buying the purple
I-phones the buttons, the tactile feedback
really good on the buttons.
The cutout for the notification slider is pretty massive.
So you'll be able to easily get a finger in there and
slide that
cutout slide
that notification on and off that is really good.
This case I'm going to give a four
out of five because I really liked this case.
It feels like even
if you drop the phone that that's not going anywhere
that's going to stay in there.
So if you want to showcase your iPhone, your product red
or the new purple iPhone, that's probably one
of the cases you want to have on the iPhone.
So let's get into the next one.
This is similar to the hybrid as well.
This phone case is a slim case from
Temdan so
temdan is a Chinese manufacturer
and let's see
How's that
fills there pops right in.
I am not liking the volume buttons on that.
Those are really stiff.
The power button is good.
The cutouts are good.
You've got some shock on the sides.
I'm going to give this case a three out of five
maybe a two and a half
cause I actually two and a half
cause I don't like the buttons just here
just really stiff.
You're going to have a tough time
with the buttons on this case.
So definitely going to go a three out of five on this one
like I said, you're going to have a tough time
with these buttons and they don't
they're just really stiff buttons and you're going to
to push really hard to get those, to work.
The cutout for the slider is nice and large there
so that's good.
The power button, that one is pretty solid
so that'll work for most people, I think.
And you have a little bit of elevation
a little bit of a raise on the camera protection here.
So that's a good thing as well, but those buttons kill it.
You want to have a case that really gives you
solid responsiveness with the buttons in this case
just doesn't have that with the volume keys
and last but not least the Nilikin case.
When I did the Android, when I did the other cases
I had an S21, Nilikin that, that was really popular.
That was one of the ones you guys liked the most.
So this is one of the bonus cases.
This one didn't have tens of thousands of reviews.
And
since you liked the Android ones so much
I grabbed this one to check out.
This is their
Nilikin Cyclops case.
And what was cool
about the Cyclops is the fact that the camera protection
which is what you guys really liked
on the last one, the camera protection, which slides
and opens on that one, this one, the camera protection acts
as a kickstand and camera protection. So
when you want to use it as a kickstand
obviously you slide it out there and you can have the case
like that and use it as a kickstand.
And then you can lock it
back up and have it protect your cameras.
So let's get into it.
Let's see what
buttons are good buttons, a solid, oh
tactile feedback on that is great.
It's frosted.
So you're not going to see that product red
like you would on some of the other cases, the hybrid case
some of the clear cases.
So you're not quite going to see it quite as well
as you did on the others, but you're buying this case.
If you're buying it because of the camera features
you get the camera protection, like I said
and you get that.
So it pops right off there
and you can actually use it as a kickstand for your phone.
It does work in portrait as well
but the angle is kind of low.
So if you were going to use it to actually
have a video chat, you'd have to have it pretty close
up on you because it's so low far back
that it's not going to get you unless you're pretty close
up on it, which might be fine for many people.
So again, you've got the kickstand there.
You've got that camera protection as well.
This
case
for me,
I would call this case a five out of five.
This is going to get actually, you know what
I'm gonna give it a 4.5 out of five
just because the camera angle
isn't perfect with a portrait mode
if you want to do a video chat
but 4.5 out of five,
this case is awesome.
And again, the cost, everything, this case is just
I think this is going to be my top
out of all these cases I looked at today, this case
this Nilikin Cyclops.
And the other one that I'm going to give my top pick
to this is the ESR
armor air.
So these two cases are going to be my top picks
for the ones I've looked at today.
Let's go ahead and move all this out of the way.
So we can show these off
my top two picks
out of the seven cases I bought
off of Amazon, Amazon top sellers.
These are going to be my two picks the cyclops
and the ESR air armor clear case.
So
check these out.
We bought these we paid for these, these weren't sent to us.
This is not ad supported.
This is just me picking the top seven, top five
and a couple extras, most interesting cases off Amazon.
So I'm Tshaka Armstrong.
If you liked that, let us know in the comments.
We'll try that out with some
Android cases specifically
we'll do like the Samsung galaxy S 21.
We'll do the OnePlus
pro nine
and a couple others, maybe Google pixels, you know
and pick their top five most best selling cases
on Amazon and review them for you.
So I'm Tshaka Armstrong for reviews.org.
I will check you out on the next video.
