hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and this week Apple announced two new case
colors now they did announce smart battery cases but those aren't available
just yet maybe tomorrow or early next week
but these are the new case colors for fall and winter or at least two new ones
normally they do fall and then they'll do winter separately so I'm not sure if
these are the new winter colors or not because there's only two of them now on
the right we have pomegranate its pomegranate right there if you can see
that and then also we have burl or barrel it's pronounced like beryllium so
barrel I guess and this is a new color these are available for both the 11pro
and the 11pro max the iPhone 11 does not get any cases other than black white and
the clear case so let's go ahead and open these up and these again are
expensive cases and sometimes you can find a deal on Amazon and is like that
and I'll link those in the description but they are affiliate links but this
one is pomegranate now it looks very similar to hibiscus and I've seen a few
colors that look very similar to this and then let's go ahead and open up the
other one and I kind of like this one a little bit better it's sort of a teal
ish green color so I really like it very nice looking and both of them of course
have the microfiber lining inside and it's silicone so you'll see here again
microfiber lining you've got the cutout for the iPhone 11
camera or 11 pro camera and then you have buttons here they're just like all
the other ones so if you've used one of these cases before they're a little bit
squishy and not very tactile and then you've got the cutout for your vibrate
switch and that's really all there is to these and there's not a whole lot more
they look really nice and they're about $40 or so now the interesting thing is
along with these they've actually released Apple's watchbands to match but
they also introduced an additional color called khaki for the watch band so I
really like this one that I'm I'm using it's a Nomad watch band titanium and
that's linked in the description as well but they've also
matching silicone watchbands for each one of these colors so if you want
matching colors you can get that now the other thing is there's no new leather
cases either so if you want a leather case you're out of luck
so let's go ahead and put this on the iPhone 11 Pro and you'll see this is the
midnight green color and I'm not so sure I like that kind of clashes with this
color but you'll see what it looks like either way now on the bottom you do get
a little bit of protection on each side but again it's similar to all of the
other Apple silicone cases now let's take a look at the burl color put this
on the iPhone and this one looks a little bit better I think this is the
Space Gray iPhone 11 Pro Max and it looks pretty good again you've got that
same cutout on the bottom you've got some lay on the table protection here so
it's pretty good that way and it's just what like you'd expect now we know the
cases will work properly on the iPhone 11 pro max that I have here and the
iPhone 11 pro but many of you will probably want to know can you use them
on the 10s or 10s max and the reason for that is Apple is not updating their case
lineups for those phones anything older than the 11s they're not going to update
so let me take the case off of the 11pro max and then I'll put it on the iPhone
10's max and it sort of works and what I mean by that is if we look at the back
here you've got the cutout for the camera and it works just fine there
you've just got an extra space next to the camera so to the right of it you've
got an empty space you've got your square and it looks kind of weird but it
will work but the problem is where the power button is now the power button
will work so you can push it and feel it click and the volume buttons but if you
look here where the silence which is it's actually offset just a little bit
and that's because the iPhone 11 pro and pro max the buttons are slightly shifted
so they're shifted down a little bit as opposed to the previous generation so
this may be a problem for you so you can't really use them comfortably on the
older devices and even though the 10 s max is not old it does not really work
with this particular device so you'll see they line up perfectly here but if I
bring in the 10 s max here the power buttons are not exactly lined up this
it's just a little bit different and then if I switch it over and take a look
at the volume buttons you'll see again it slightly shifted up on the 10s max so
that difference probably means you shouldn't really use one of these cases
you can do it and it will fit and it fits the outside edge fine but
everything else just really doesn't look right so I probably wouldn't pick one of
these up for the older devices now I've been a fan of these cases for a while I
really like the textures and I'm very big on texture my only complaint is that
they're a little bit difficult to put in a jean pocket for example because it's
sticky on that material it does add some grip to the phone but the actual
material material itself when trying to put it in a pocket may have a little bit
of stick to it so that may be a problem for you it's not a big deal obviously
but that's just one thing to know the buttons are good they're nice and clicky
but it does take a little bit of extra effort and the same is true for the
volume buttons but that's really all there is to say about these particular
cases I thought I'd share them with you as some of you wanted to see them and
that's really it as far as these go one other quick thing to mention is that
down here I've seen these get torn up a little bit the nice thing is is if your
phone is within warranty or you have Apple Care oftentimes Apple will just
replace the case for you if it's really torn up so if you're careful with your
device almost every time I've had them replace a case for me other than one
that looked like it was chewed at the bottom even though it wasn't now as far
as the wallpaper is concerned I'll link that in the description as I always do
and let me know which color is your favorite and if you're going to pick one
of these up as well they usually discount these after a few
weeks or even a little bit longer on different websites like Amazon so like I
said I'll link that in the description as well if you have any other questions
or comments let me know in the comments below and as soon as I can get my hands
on those battery cases I'll see if I can do a video for those as well if you
haven't subscribed already though please subscribe and if you enjoyed the video
please give it a like as always thanks for watching
this is Aaron I'll see you next time
