all right so we've got a later case
update it's actually pretty exciting
it's been a crazy it's been a wild ride
to be honest it's quite a process well
first of all to produce a case but then
also to kind of manage a little the
launch and shipping and responding on
social media and just the logistics of
of actually making it happen so many
people have already purchased the case
it's kind of amazing it actually to look
at it and realize and see people in a
real world out there that are tweeting
at me using some version of the later
case it's it's a different type of
experience from just publishing videos
it's been a cool thing to be a part of
up until this point and a big component
in the launch a big reason and a
motivation for going into this in the
first place was around availability and
so the voting mechanism was put into the
website right from the jump so that you
guys could actually influence what the
next later cases were going to be under
the assumption that the list of
available cases was going to grow over
time as the company in the volume was
able to scale up now the good news here
is that it already has we've we've
already seen people purchasing the cases
as expected for the more popular devices
that have that's now enabled us to go
out and actually very quickly rapidly
develop for these new SKUs as well
the popular new oneplus devices which
were the most requested in fact this one
in the middle the 1 plus 7 pro the most
requested and voted for if your device
is still unsupported that is where you
should go because obviously as you can
tell we're paying close attention to
what people are voting for and it does
influence the products going forward and
we're able to adapt fairly rapidly if
the demand happens to be there so in the
middle here is the 1 + 7 Pro later case
yes it looks a lot like the existing
case the first party case that oneplus
makes but there are some modifications
so I'll show you up we'll do a quick
comparison here the 1 + 7 pro first
party case is actually really difficult
to get your hands on if you don't get
one at launch I was talking to UK Otis
in Canada believe they're out of stock
in the US so nothing against oneplus
that's where this one comes in but then
there's more to the story as well as you
can probably tell on the oneplus case
you have a a really large cutout in the
center it does leave a fair amount of
space around the camera module and it
also just brings the same cutout down
below the flash module so just one big
cutout and then you've also got the
oneplus logo up until this point with
later case I'm not a huge fan of logos
and on this version a dedicated laser
cut out for the flash independent of the
camera module and to bring the ramp all
the way into the edge as you can see
there of the camera and actually sit a
little higher than the camera itself
when the case is laying on a table it's
actually laying on the Kevlar material
and of course this gives you more
coverage as well just because of how
tight the cutout is there's less
opportunity for dust particles and
things to actually sneak in there wedge
in there and live in there and then the
other elements from from the other cases
is carried over as well with the super
easy this is one of the nicest and
easiest to remove cases of the entire
lineup now these are heading into
production but they're not at the
warehouse yet so the volume is going to
be limited and if you are interested in
one of these you can actually head over
and hit the pre-order right now the
other thing I should mention as well Oh
preorder for delivery at the end of
January so you're not gonna have to wait
that long it's actually the development
process is fairly far along the other
thing I should mention if you head over
to the website is there has been a price
adjustment so that's good news it was
part of the agenda to bring the price
down to make it as accessible as
possible we did a part time promotion at
$35 and then it went back to the
original $45 but as the volume has
increased I was able to reevaluate that
the popularity of the case and so many
people supporting the case that we've
now been able to discount it again to
$39 so it's sitting there at $39 for
this pre-order but also for the entire
inventory right now moving a lot we got
another new case for the seventy and
I'll just jump right into the comparison
there this is a pretty simple case the
agenda here was to give a little bit of
camera protection so this ramp comes up
and extends beyond the glass portion of
the camera module and on the first party
version you can see leave some space
around the camera the ramp is not as
significant it's just a different option
a different choice
so in one-plus land that now gives you
support for the 70 the 70 pro and of
course the 7 pro okay now the next part
we're talking about Huawei devices
actually supporting three of those I
gotta give a shout out to everybody
involved right now to be able to have
this kind of turn around to be able to
support this many devices which as I
said was the original motivation for me
support here is P 30 P 30 Pro and mate
30 Pro I understand it's not every
single SKU from them but these are the
popular ones get the cutouts as tight as
possible I kind of like how this ramp
moves along here ever so smoothly it's
one of the benefits of working with this
particular material working with Kevlar
this one is also interesting what you'll
see on this particular one the ramp
actually moves up this way first so
there's a ramp up to the camera unit
there and then it extends ever so
slightly past the camera unit as well
pops off like that
pops on these channels here that allow
you to have that really easy on and off
this means later case supports 20
different SKUs 20 different smartphone
models it always bugged me that the good
accessories only existed for that
limited set of devices but it's already
crazy to say that that makes 20
smartphones supported by later case
thanks so much to everybody that's been
supporting up until this point and I'm
listening we're paying attention to what
you're saying that's the price point
coming down that's the new devices being
supported as rapidly as possible shout
out to everybody working on this as well
it's much appreciates not easy I'm
telling you
customer service and and and shipping
and and tracking and and doing it
globally man it's a whole new
perspective for me it's not easy but
it's been rewarding and it
very interesting to me and I and I
promise you I'm in this going forward so
we're gonna continue to refine and
support more devices so go vote if you
haven't yet and if you have one of these
phones go pick up a case
