Just Mobile vs. Skin It, iPhone 11 Pro cases. Let's check them out
0:13
Dave Taylor here, and I have my iPhone 11 Pro, and it needs a case
0:18
So, I've been looking at lots of cases from lots of different case companies
0:22
and I got two more manufacturers to look at today. We're going to look at Skin It, and that's these two. These are their impact cases
0:30
And we're also going to look at the Just Mobile 10C Air
0:35
Now, let's start with this, because 10C, T-E-N-C, stands for the Emperor's New Clothes
0:41
It says so right on the back. So, interesting metaphysical statement there, but whatever
0:47
So, there's three things I look at when I'm looking at an iPhone case
0:51
The first one is basic fit and finish. Does it have all the cutouts in exactly the right place so that your phone is in great shape
0:59
The second one is, does it have some sort of a bezel so that it actually protects the front screen of the phone
1:07
And then the third one, of course, is, does it charge wirelessly
1:11
And for that, we have our Fuse Chicken wireless Qi charging device
1:16
So, let's start with this. This is the 10C Air, and as you can see, it is, yes, transparent
1:23
It's actually very nice, and it's kind of interesting because it's a combination of two different materials
1:28
So, the back is actually pretty rigid. This is an anti-scratch hard back or hard shell back, and then the sides are a little softer
1:38
They're shockproof thermoplastic. So, the idea is that if you hit things on the side, it's going to absorb the impact
1:45
So, decent idea. Let's see how it actually works. Phone goes in easily enough, and you can see here in the close-ups that we have really nice cutouts
1:56
It's a perfect shape everywhere. I will note that the hardest of the buttons is the actual volume on-off button on the left side
2:05
and they've done a very nice job of having the button perfectly centered in there
2:09
So, great. Now, number two is that bezel, and I got to say, there ain't much bezel
2:17
And where that's an issue is if my phone goes like this, I don't want the screen to absorb any of the impact
2:23
That's the job of the case. And the case, I suppose there's some here, but it's less than a millimeter
2:30
It is a tiny amount. They could do with more. Now, what they say is that the corners are a little higher
2:36
I don't see that. So, in terms of having that raised edge around the phone, not so thrilled about that
2:44
All right, number three, wireless charging, and it charges wirelessly. Groovy. So, we're good to go
2:51
Now, this case is the Just Mobile 10C Air, and it will run you $24.95 at justmobile.com
2:59
So, it's not an expensive case, and it certainly works in terms of protecting your back and giving you some edge impact protection
3:08
but my two cents needs another millimeter of bezel to actually be a better case
3:13
Now, by comparison, SkinIt has these cases, and they have mastered the art of cool designs
3:20
Look at that design. Tell me that's not cool. And they, too, have a dual case
3:26
So, there's an inner rubber part, and you see this, and this is just a soft rubber
3:31
So, that's our first layer of protection. Let's take the phone out of this Just Mobile one, put it in here
3:37
So, here's our first layer of protection, and then this fits into the harder plastic
3:44
Let's get that in there, too. And now we have a phone case, and I have to admit, I love SkinIt cases
3:52
But now we have a phone case that is very interesting. So, how are our cutouts
3:57
As you can see in the close-up, they're pretty darn good. That one button that's a little problematic ends up being not quite centered
4:06
but still functional for you to be able to stick your fingernail in and get to it
4:10
So, that's not great. But in terms of its bezel, well, again, it's just barely above the screen, maybe a fraction
4:20
I mean, we're talking like less than probably a millimeter, but a fraction more than the Just Mobile
4:25
So, let me tell you, though, these are the SkinIt Impact. They sent me two different designs
4:30
So, let me pull the other one out because I love their designs
4:34
I love their designs. So, this is their Orion Nebula design, and it is exactly the same case as this one
4:42
which is their Chromatic Splatter Black. And, you know, there's no reason really to switch the phone between the two
4:49
because they are the exact same case with different images. Hard shell exterior, impact-absorbing interior, and they use an ink-infused printing technology
4:59
which means that, and I know from experience, when you get one with a design
5:03
it will last years and years. It doesn't fade. It doesn't scratch
5:07
You don't end up having like buffing out the image, so you end up with just a straight plastic color or something
5:13
They do a really good job with that. These are a little more spendy at $39.99 at skinit.com
5:21
And, like I said, these are two of literally thousands of designs
5:25
They have sports teams. They have a whole Disney section. They got a ton of options
5:30
So, third question. So, we have the cutouts. We have the bezel
5:36
Does it charge? The answer is yes, it charges too. Really no surprise
5:41
I haven't yet encountered a case that doesn't work with wireless Qi charging, so that's good
5:46
And this, of course, is a dual thickness because we have the hard exterior and then the rubber absorbing rubbery interior too
5:53
And through both of those, the wireless charging works just fine. So, let me pick a winner
5:59
And I got to say, my winner is the Skinit Impact. These are just great cases
6:05
Again, they could do with just a bit more bezel than they have
6:09
but, you know, they win because their designs are gorgeous. And I have been using this one for a couple of weeks
6:16
and I have to say, people compliment me on my case. They want to check the case out
6:20
They want to know where I got it from. So, that's kind of nice. It's kind of nice to have that endorsement
6:25
I also really like that Skinit has very modest packaging. This is something that has a lot less negative environmental impact than this sort of box
6:35
And to be fair, this sort of box from Just Mobile also has pretty low impact
6:40
compared to some of the other companies out there that go way overboard
6:44
Now, Just Mobile also sent me something else that I'm going to have to use over time
6:48
but these are two glass screen protectors, and they're both really nice
6:53
This is the XKIN. I'm going to say it's just pronounced skin
6:58
This is the skin, and this is the Skin 3D. And they're both 9H hardness
7:03
They're both .33 millimeters thick. They're both scratch-resistant. I think it's a good idea to put them on your phone
7:10
Of course, ironically, it means that bezel's even shorter or smaller. So, another reason for them to get a smidge more bezel on their cases
7:19
But the difference between the two is that the skin itself at $19.95
7:24
is literally just glass that covers your screen. The Skin 3D actually has a black edge around it, so it's edge-to-edge
7:32
and it has that sort of going beyond the edges of your screen
7:36
so it gives you a little bit more protection. And this one's $29.95
7:40
So, really nice. I'm sure these are going to be great. I don't need one right now
7:45
because I already have a screen protector on my iPhone 11 Pro, and it seems a little goofy to take it off, throw it away
7:51
and put another one on just to see if it works. But, over time, I'll have a chance to do that
7:55
So, definitely stay tuned, and really subscribe to my channel. Super beneficial, because you can get to keep up
8:01
So, we've gone through this set of things. Some really nice stuff here

8:12
and then I'm going to do a final shootout, a final comparison of all my favorite cases from all the different vendors
8:19
and we're going to come up with the one winner, the one case to rule them all. So, stay tuned for that
