SwitchEasy Eclipse for iPhone 4 / 4S Review

2011-12-11
hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with a review of the switcheasy Eclipse case for the iphone 4 on the iphone 4s so i've been using this for about a week or so now i've got to say i was really impressed this is one of the better cases I've ever used for anything not just iphone but you know anything it's an excellent excellent case a couple little gripes with it but i'll get to that in just a minute so the first thing you'll notice is that it's got a two-tone design so right this part if you guys in here that is hard plastic and this has got a little bit more gift to it although it's still fairly firm now that'll Natalie does this look nice fortunately with the two-tone design and you can get a ton of colors I just got in black but there's like a million colors roughly not really but there's a lot of colors on this which easy site you guys can check it out for yourself you had fantastic design and I love the look of it in the feel of it you guys can also see it's got that kind of speckle design I don't know what you call it but it's a definitely if it looks very nice go ahead and pull my iphone in here now one slight drop I do have about the case is how you insert your phone into it I can get a little bit tricky so Quentin slide I like to do it button side last and you just kind of have to massage the phone into the case make sure it gets in there right getting it in to the case is not that bad but getting it out is definitely a little bit of a pain because you really do how can I have to wrestle with it so kind of pull it up over the buttons here make sure it's all nice and firm into the case and there we go not a huge deal definitely not a deal breaker but this is not a case that you're going to want to be pulling your phone out if you no need to pull your phone out of the case very often it's kind of a little bit of a pain it makes me a little bit worried for the buttons but it's not a huge deal alright so let's go and just push the case off to the side for a minute and show you guys some accessories it does come with for a fairly cheap case I was really impressed it comes with a lot so the first thing you'll find is the whole goody bag and it actually comes with quite a few little things for your device so you have a user manual spoiler it's a case you put it on but yeah you also do have a pair of screen shields I have one screen shield on right now I've got to say it's a fantastic screen shield switcheasy make some awesome screen shields you know it's very easy you have to worry about bubbles like you know pretty much all the cheap ones in spin forever putting on taking it off now just put it on make sure you get it on nice and straight fantastic screen shield can't say enough about it and you do get a pair of them you also do get a little microfiber cloth for cleaning off your screen which screen shields do kind of pick up more dust in the normal screen but who cares and you also do get a little squeegee now go ahead and pick up all this and toss it off to the side we also do that even more this comes with a lot of accessories so it also does come with a little stand we just have that they phone in here so for example if you wanna watch movies or whatever just kind of slide it there it's nothing special it's nothing spectacular but it's got definitely nice they kind of include that it kind of included it's not fully included obviously here also do get a pair of dock connectors now this is really neat so I'm sure if you guys use docks for your iphone you'll know that if you have any kind of case on it that extra bulk will not allow it really to fit but switcheasy switcheasy has thought ahead and now if you want you can just go ahead and pick up one of these dock connectors it fits for perfectly with the case and you can feel free to dog it it's awesome I don't really use dogs myself but if you do use it you have both a black and a white one and that's fantast really appreciate how they added that last little tiny thing and want to say a little tiny I mean very very tiny you have a couple of little inserts for your 30-pin dock connector so just kind of my why should put in but of course you can just kind of put it in there you can also put kind of cover up your headphone jack and what that does is of course allow you to keep dust and dirt out but I really don't see a whole lot of point than that as you know if you everyone listen to music yeah pull it out or you're constantly charging your phone but whatever no big deal just go ahead and go over the phone I mean not the phone let's go over the case itself so over here on the left side you'll find a nice big cut out for the sleep but I mean that's sleep the silent switch now the sleep buttons up there if you guys haven't noticed but of course you do have a nice big open cut out so if you have an iphone for verizon iphone 4 or an iphone 4s like i do it's very simple to get at and also do have raised sleep volume buttons so that works really nicely very easy to get at them you have Doolittle's you have a little switcheasy logo here flipping over here and focusing in the camera you guys be able to see it has plenty of openness for the 30-pin connect as well as both the microphone and the speaker nothing really over on this side and if we go ahead and take a look at the top of the phone you'll find that the headphone jack is not it's slightly recessed to get some tail but it's not bad at all I didn't have any problems with any of your headphones I tried although it like I said it is slightly recessed so you may have some problems but I try to do this about three or four pairs and I didn't have any issues now one thing a slight problem when I say slide I'm very slight is the sleep/wake button so you guys can tell it's kind of recessed in there now they did kind of smooth this bottom edge out so for example from you getting at my phone like that it's easy but it would be nice if they would have done something like they did with the volume buttons kind of let you get a little easier but again very very small little issue around here on the back you guys will find that it has a nice big size for the camera now unlike some cases I've tried there's no issues with the flash whatsoever and of course it looks very nice on the back so you guys it's going to be about it for my review of the switcheasy Eclipse case if you're looking for a good case for your iphone 4 or your new iphone 4s i would highly recommend it probably one of the better cases I've ever tried it comes with tons of accessories and it's only twenty bucks so considering everything it gives you you know the only slight negative desire it's kind of hard to get in and out of a case and it would be nice if they made it a little easier to get your sleep wake button but beyond that fantastic case guys I highly recommend it and yeah definitely go check it out if you're looking for a new case for your phone anyway guys if you enjoyed this
