a slim and rugged iphone case let's find
0:02
out Dave Taylor here this time we're
0:11
looking at iPhone cases well iPhone 10
0:14
cases and this is the nomad hex and it's
0:18
really interesting because it's a rugged
0:19
case but its little let's do an unboxing
0:22
it's in the box it's not in the box and
0:29
I gotta say their packaging is pretty
0:31
nice but there's a lot to it again I
0:34
really like companies that are working
0:35
on minimizing their footprint with waste
0:38
but I believe it's all recyclable if you
0:41
pop the plastic piece out so that's good
0:43
now on to the case this is a really
0:46
interesting case because it actually
0:48
survives a 10-foot drop I am NOT going
0:51
to test that I will just trust them on
0:52
this but it's a combination of a hard
0:55
polycarbonate and the sort of rubbery
0:57
TPU that you always see and the back as
1:01
you can see in this close-up has an anti
1:03
scratch pattern so that's really cool so
1:06
you don't have to worry about you know
1:07
on a lot of these cases you get this
1:09
beautiful case and it just gets all
1:11
scratched up pretty quickly this will
1:13
not do that however what Nomad warns is
1:15
that it's hard to install they actually
1:18
have a video about how to install it so
1:20
let's see how I do they tell you with
1:22
your iPhone 10 to put it in the top and
1:25
then work it down and get one corner in
1:30
let's see if I can do this so this video
1:33
might be 40 seconds long and it might be
1:35
nine minutes long as I struggle we'll
1:38
see come on you can do it they actually
1:41
told me that they had a first run of
1:45
these that turned out to be really
1:47
insanely too tight so they actually had
1:49
to make a modification so the good news
1:51
is any that you would bore it by from
1:53
this point we'll take that into account
1:55
okay so I have three corners in a little
1:58
bit of struggle now hopefully the fourth
2:00
corner will be easier they tell you
2:02
you're gonna have to futz around a
2:04
little bit so I feel like I'm doing
2:06
exactly that come on you can go in
2:09
well good news is serious listening and
2:12
it's in okay now whoo that was a lot of
2:16
work but the good news is that also
2:19
means that the phone's not going to fall
2:20
out and it is what the heck is our doing
2:25
did you take so they actually had to
2:28
make a mile tap to edit I don't actually
2:30
know what's going on maybe you said yeah
2:34
my phone seems to be in a strange state
2:36
ah there we are we're back Siri got
2:39
confused there but this actually is a
2:41
really nice phone case it is a really
2:43
nice feel to it and one thing you can't
2:45
tell in the photos is that the pattern
2:48
is actually slightly inset versus the
2:52
rubber edge so even on the back it's the
2:54
edges the TPU that's going to be
2:56
absorbing impact and of course on the
2:58
inside it's rubber all the way around I
3:00
really like this a really nice case and
3:03
for a case that can handle a 10-foot
3:05
drop that is remarkably slim I think
3:08
they've done a nice job now I kind of
3:11
wish they had it in really bright cheery
3:13
colors but you know this black is
3:15
certainly discreet enough it's gonna
3:16
slip right in your pocket without any
3:18
problem and it does do Qi charging I
3:21
don't have my charging pad with me but I
3:22
already tested it and you can see on the
3:24
back there's not much blocking the
3:26
charging pad anyway so really really
3:29
nice I really recommend you check it out
3:31
if you want to really snug fitting and
3:33
now I have to get the phone out of it a
3:35
really snug fitting iPhone case that
3:38
gives you a lot of protection this looks
3:40
like this could just fit the bill now
3:42
before I tell you the price let me ask
3:44

4:03
Dave Taylor I'm gonna turn off the
4:05
camera before I start swearing as I
4:07
struggle to get my phone back out of the
4:09
case normal people won't do that but
4:11
