There are dozens of different styles of smartphone cases, ranging from the slimmest units that aren't much more than just a sticker to heavy cases that mark you as a rugged outdoor person. But if you want elegance, if you want a sophisticated design for your Apple iPhone X case, an option worth checking out is the case lineup from Swedish company Krusell. Tech expert Dave Taylor of https://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ checks out three of the Krusell cases for the iPhone X: the Sunne folio wallet, the Arkiva with built-in screen protector and the Tumba 2-card premium leather case.

iPhone cases all the way from Sweden
0:02
let's have a look Dave Taylor here and
0:11
this time I'm looking at cases for the
0:14
iPhone 10 that's this and the iPhone 10
0:17
is an interesting one to make a case for
0:18
because it has all those little things
0:22
in the mystery little notch on the top
0:25
and it also does Qi charging so you want
0:28
to make sure that your case supports all
0:29
of this let's have a look of what crew
0:32
soul sent me now this is a company out
0:34
of Sweden so these have travelled a long
0:36
way to get to me but they're really nice
0:39
premium cases we're gonna start with
0:41
this first one that they call the sunay
0:43
or sunny I like to think of it as sunny
0:45
this is a folio wallet and it's a
0:48
vintage leather really nice feel to it
0:51
and when you open it up there are two
0:53
card slots and a flap for money and you
0:57
can put more cards in the back let's go
0:59
ahead and put a couple of cards in just
1:00
as a test of course so they do fit and
1:04
that's reassuring let's see that one
1:07
fits too and then we can put some money
1:10
in there I'll have to remember to get it
1:13
out later
1:14
so that all works of course the most
1:17
important thing is does the phone fit so
1:19
let's put the iPhone 10 in and that's
1:23
easy enough to do so there we go so now
1:25
we have the case closed
1:28
and you open it you can see I have cards
1:31
and money and the phone itself is in
1:33
here and it's in there pretty good the
1:35
cutout is perfect for the camera which
1:38
is nice only complaint I would have
1:40
looking at it right now is number one it
1:43
gets pretty thick and there's no way to
1:46
keep it closed no magnet no clasp no
1:48
little thing that comes over the side so
1:51
this is something where if you're a real
1:53
fan of wallet cases you'll know some of
1:56
them are designed to make it a little
1:58
more slim if we take the cash out it
2:00
does actually get slimmer and so then
2:02
the last test on this sunny folio wallet
2:06
is does it charge and the answer is
2:10
sadly oh there we go
2:13
so this
2:13
gets more sensitive with the charging
2:15
location but it is doing Qi charging so
2:19
that's nice that is a definite plus
2:21
because if you have a case like this you
2:23
don't want to have to take your phone
2:24
out of the case every time you want to
2:27
charge wirelessly so that's good now
2:29
let's take this phone out and let's go
2:32
to the next one the next one's even more
2:34
interesting the next one is what they
2:36
call their arc IVA case and maybe
2:39
archiver I'm not sure how they pronounce
2:41
all these haven't been to Sweden for a
2:44
while but here's what's cool about this
2:46
is it's actually a multi-layer case so
2:48
you have the sort of TPU rubber case
2:54
with the little piece on top but it also
2:56
comes with a screen protector that's
2:59
designed to work with it so that's a
3:02
really cool idea you put the screen
3:04
protector on and then you put the case
3:06
on and then you put the top on the bit
3:10
and in fact the top as you can see in
3:12
this close-up has cutouts for all the
3:15
different cameras and mystery things
3:17
that are going on in the knotch and so
3:20
once you have it all assembled it's on
3:22
there it's a very nice snug fit has a
3:25
nice feel to it and it's designed for
3:28
that glass protective cover right here
3:30
so you have a case that has what they
3:33
call 360 degrees of protection so it's a
3:37
screen protector plus case with bumpers
3:40
and it's a very nice looking and very
3:43
nice feeling case and very slim now so
3:46
you can get this one off uh-huh good you
3:50
never really know when you're putting
3:51
cases on if they're gonna come off
3:52
easily oh the bottom comes off too good
3:54
to know and oh you know what let me put
3:57
it back in because I forgot to test
4:00
let's see if we can charge it so this
4:04
one should be easier there we go so this
4:07
one's charging with Qi charging so
4:09
that's good and you know Qi charging all
4:13
these charging plates they're all little
4:15
sensitive in terms of exact location and
4:17
placement of the phone it's kind of the
4:19
nature of them all right third one is
4:22
actually my favorite of the three
4:24
this one is the tomba
4:26
and this is again leather and it's sort
4:29
of a marble finish on it's really quite
4:31
pretty and it takes two cards so let's
4:33
put two cards in here so let's see one
4:36
snug there one goes here and let's put
4:42
the phone in it and here we go so now we
4:47
have the phone in here and on the back
4:50
we have our two card storage and it's in
4:53
pretty snug and they've sort of taken a
4:56
sidestep instead of having cut out holes
4:58
for the buttons they just have these big
5:01
notches that let you have access to all
5:03
the phones all the buttons I should say
5:06
and then on the back it's the perfect
5:08
shape cut out again for the camera so
5:11
another win and then the question
5:13
becomes again will it charge so it is
5:18
charging so there you go so they've done
5:21
a really nice job they all all three of
5:23
these cases have a really nice feel to
5:25
them the finish is really nice they look
5:28
very premium and they're kind of
5:30
expensive and here's one of the things
5:33
that's complicated is that at this
5:34
moment in time at least all their prices
5:36
are just in Euro so you'll probably want
5:39
to open up another window for conversion
5:41
so that you can figure out how much it
5:43
is in u.s. dollars or in British pounds
5:45
or in yen or whatever it is they ship
5:48
worldwide now let's go down the list so
5:51
this is the soon a sunny Sunday however
5:56
you want to pronounce it this folio
5:58
wallet is thirty four ninety euros and
6:02
then this guy with the screen cover and
6:06
the whole case and everything this 360
6:09
degree protection the archiver this is
6:11
twenty nine ninety you are oh and then
6:15
finally this one that I actually have on
6:17
my phone this one is the tumba and this
6:21
is again thirty nine ninety euros so
6:24
they are fairly expensive but they are
6:27
definitely premium very well made cases
6:30
and they feel like they're gonna last a
6:31
really good long time and now that we're
6:35
talking about a good long time go ahead
6:37
and subscribe to my channel so we can
6:39
