I dropped my iPhone out of a moving car! In an effort to make this video
more interesting for you. And that was dumb!
So that was the 12 Pro Max, back in April. The screen protector did get a small dent
but the phone itself was intact. In fact I still have it here and as you can see,
it's pretty much as it was out of the original box.
I haven't tried throwing the 13 out of a car yet, maybe if this video gets enough views I
will throw it out of a car. Here's a challenge for you, if this video gets 50,000 views I will do it.
But that means you have to share this video with everyone you know.
But I did do a more standard drop test with the iPhone 13 Pro Max anyway.
And here is that test with the Impact case which is not even the most protective of their cases!
That was a very nerve wracking experience!
The IMPACT model offers drop protection up to 6.6 feet
And the ULTRA IMPACT offers drop protection up to 9.8 feet!
Both Impact and ultra Impact are made of 65% recycled AND plant based materials.
You see these bumpers here? This is Casetify's own the shock absorbing material called
QiTech 2.0, which is now ALSO made with recycled and plant based materials!
I love how environmentally friendly they are,
I wish more brands would do the same. Their cases come in 100% recycled packaging.
You know, made with recycled paper and non-toxic soy ink. Made from soybeans!
You might be thinking, how is that gonna help? But imagine how many thousands of plastic wrapping
they have reduced here. CASETIFY are trying to get to zero carbon footprint as well which is great!
I am going to do my bit as well, by donating all of these cases to you.
more details on that at the end of this video.
By the way, if you missed the disclaimer at the beginning of the video, THIS IS a sponsored video.
But it doesn't mean I will hold back in telling you about any issues with the product. Ultimately
this is my content and Casetify had no say in it and are seeing it at the same time as you.
Now I know what you're thinking because as a customer whenever I watch a sponsored video
I apply a large pinch of salt.
And I fully expect you to do the same. But as a creator, this is my channel reputation
and my name, and my personal brand so... All I am saying is that I have skin in the game too,
so I have to be truthful when reviewing these products, whether they are sponsored or not.
I have an ethics statement, which is available to you
and all the brands I work with for full transparency.
There, I thought it was important. This isn't necessarily an expensive item,
but you work hard for your cash so I have to respect that.
Right, moving on then, these cases are very grippy and one question you might have is,
how does it work with wireless chargers?
I am glad you asked! I have a few different ones here and as you can see, it's no problem at all!
The only call out for you is
to make sure you choose the MagSafe compatible ones if you have MagSafe stands.
If you have a flat wireless charger then it will charge no problem.
But for car mounts and upright stands like these ones here, you will need their MagSafe models.
And the CASETiFY website makes it really easy on that front,
it's just a tick-box once you selected your model. Or you can filter by MagSafe compatible cases.
The key differentiator with CASETiFY for me is their customisation options!
Casetify offer endless print options! Their website is super easy to navigate,
they are constantly updating their new styles and collabs with artists.
Their cases are 100% BPA-free, 100% non-toxic and also feature DEFENSiFY,
which is an anti-microbial coating, killing 99% of bacteria.
That extra 1%? Just... wash your hands properly!
On a serious note, this is quite neat, especially these days where we need to be so careful not
to spread germs. This coating prevents bacteria from sticking to the surface in the first place!
OK, Alex any negatives about this product?
Yes, there's a couple that I think could be improved.
The first one...and it's not deal breaker for me but the camera protection should be improved.
It is slightly raised so the lenses are not going to be in contact with a flat surface.
But.. It's a bit of an extreme example but I feel that if you dropped your phone whilst on a bike
a ride and your phone skidded off on an uneven surface, I feel the camera would get scratched.
In casetify's defence... that's problem with
all cases now, because the iPhone 13 has such a huge camera module.
My recommendation? If you are skateboarding or mountain biking and things like that,
then consider a glass protector for the camera.
The other negative for me is the branding, and the writing around the case. Depending
on the style you go for, it's actually quite nice and complements the design... But in other designs
I wish we had a choice to have a clean option with no branding.
But maybe that's just me.
For such a protective a protective case, this is actually quite a thin case. The
Ultra Impact case is their slimmest and most protective case, coming in at only 13mm thin!
