2013-01-15
now though it is time for the drop test norm under normal circumstances mostly people drop gadgets just from like this hi we're gonna push it a little farther than that you know and so we were like let's get a ladder and we did and Brian tongs are going up the ladder first okay so we're gonna drop just once just hand them to me let's get that going I'm gonna climb the ladder I know my god be careful okay so he's gonna drop and then I'm gonna go assess the damage let's start with like a sort of an easy one okay guys when we drop it do we drop it flatter we drop it on its Horner guys exactly that's how we did all right count with me we're gonna go three two one drop it here we go ready guys three two one drop it oh my gosh is that the scream that didn't go well Brian I can't believe it but when you dropped it from 9 feet you broke the screen that's horrible that's that's your basic fat damage right there I think that the razor is supposed to be pretty tough the Droid Razr right razor HD this is meant to be rugged it's got Kevlar on the back I have high hopes for this one so I hope my butt okay here we go guys ready three two one drop it well it's not like okay it has hairline fractures that someone's like oh no I'm trying to turn it on oh I don't care oh and I'm pretty sure it came on before that drop but now it doesn't so that's also kind of it wow that's a pretty big letdown actually that not coming on there's like I think there are glass shards in there from windows heck shards so good no this one I have seen people using phones in way worse condition than this so I I'm gonna call this usable assuming that it comes on later on you guys want to do something bigger cuz normally I think who's bigger is better this is hey you know you tell me what to drop this is gonna give you I'm gonna give you on the corner Oh God dear Lord forgive me for I have sinned here we go here we go in three two one drop it getting kind of hard to get in here oh my god you guys it's totally okay wait wait will it turn on Oh there's life one more drop one more drop one more drop alright alright we hope this drops on the core not we've gotta live with it alright here we go let's go three two one drop oh it wants to live it puts the weight in the booty guys what can you say hard you know that's funny too because I took an iPad Mini to Paris recently and dropped it on the shops at lycée and it completely broke and this guy is a-okay let seems this is our first success story I can tell you that I'd literally tried to drop it on this corner and everyone saw that here right this is no like Apple by preferencing right you're like how about oh you guys really want to see the surface you kind of want a little tablet run I think I'm gonna do no first I gotta say some of the good stuff for me yeah yeah for sure I mean not that the Nook is not good which it is the Nook is good and I think the Nook is somewhat sturdy all right here we go ready let's do it three two one drop it oh oh there's damage I can already tell oh oh yeah we have the we have some coming apart at the bottom here but it comes on totally still usable welcome back covered under your 30-day warranty I know your nook is your nook is ok-ish except that you're a little SD card slot here I think it's not in good shape so that's not gonna be as usable anymore okay no no longer expandable all right oh God turns out this ladder is pretty high let's try that iPad Mini with a case since we've already you're gonna have to retire than that shorty okay so this is the G form case that they lent us to try the drop they they asked us to drop it flat that's kind of anticlimactic it looks okay I mean if you t go get it the one you're the fetcher if the one without the case survive flat and we drop it flat that's probably gonna survive I don't know if I'm in I was okay I'm gonna fetch it like a dog well I did okay it's totally fine you guys that case you can tell it's completely feel good still good guy good your iPad's okay okay what do you want next okay all righty okay I'll go up one more step for this Oh God alright you know time it's okay they do but not me all right next to seven ready you're gonna turn the corner corner three two why you guys but you only do that for BT let's do you say okay all right there you go make the really thing two one now that's exciting it came apart wow this is amazing the Nexus by the way awesome we have this super we have this wonderful system another GoPro that is streaming so that's how you're getting that cool split screen there all right here we go guys we're gonna do see if it comes on or test here he's like where's that I think maybe that thing has to touch that other thing for that thing to go on yeah oh yeah I got to get the buttons on that part okay okay here we go this is like I feel like I'm at Foxconn right now okay I'm just up here on the ladder do soon okay I'm trying to vocally the source here we go holding the power button holding the power button no huh all right all right let's keep going okay I bet that's gonna be fine I'm not worried about that here you go huh all right time for that's not my personal one right okay so let me out no just want to make sure it does still work you can see my little kid on there but this is the one that we've already tested so okay right make them do the thing you know it kind of fell sideways but you got you have the damage here where would actually made impact right here can you see that oh yeah but otherwise it's right on that corner right there everyone was like wow I'm mesmerized okay yeah okay let's do this one rugged phone let's see how well we got to do the surface you're right yep let's just it's time I don't know that thing's heavy okay Steve I want you guys to know that during his acknowledgement Steven Sinofsky dropped this thing a whole bunch of times he's skateboarding on it it was pretty tough when Jeff kanata how to go on it inertia I'm gonna die on this ladder okay make him go three two one drop it that was dramatic that did fall in the corner okay here we go some cows from here so you can see some of the Battle Damage here where the camera is the alignment of the kid a little camera piece here the metals been warped right oh that's too bad look it's sending a message I'm okay I'm okay to go here's the corner we're a hit but there you go five turns out drop a bunch of stuff all right here we go this is the Samsung rugby pro ruggedized phone so if it is not fine I'll be very surprised in three two one drop it Molly works out clearly okay here we go the USB port guy did open on the drop that's kind of new that's a new feature and over here here's the Battle Damage here you got the little rugged I did alright so there you guys have it let's see if we can empower this bad boy on here that's not so bad though I'm here you go right it's a lie there you go survived boom okay I love it I'm here with Chuck I'm ready to get suited up for a liquid nitrogen to have my apron on for splashing and look at that like look at the freezing steam coming out of this thing do you think okay so here we have a GoPro camera yeah we had a GoPro camera we have an iPhone five in a ballistic case which they say is like military spec but there are holes and then we have the naked iPad do you think anything on this table it's gonna make it we also even have I think we can't do the Samsung right I don't know anyway we're good night rate is 321 degrees below zero so can you give us like a little demonstration I'll put my gloves and my goggles and stuff on show us what happens to things when they go in liquid nitrogen whoa there's snow flying all right so you can see the rows kind of pull it's basically bubbling in there like it's being fried it looks like it's in a fryer right up probably our devices aren't gonna go in that long huh oh poor little thing look at that look it looks like eggshells I probably shouldn't like mean over that close to that okay which one we gonna first up let's go I think we should go with the GoPro which look is recording okay as we go yeah so as it goes to its humor little fryer basket it's still recording the leg is still flashing I mean go bro seriously though recording right now but the fryer basket stuck to the side now do you want to drop testing not this one look at that look though near as I can tell even though there is a cold smoke coming off of it this is a highly unexpected outcome I have seen how long is it gonna I can feel the cold by the way through these gloves which are like an inch thick how long do you think it's gonna take to warm up yeah that's a good question each item is different you know yes that's true all right well we're gonna set I hear like cracking as it's warming up there I think the plastic is starting to crack as it warms up all right well this is dramatic though because the camera inside still okay I'm calling this a conditional survival and I am pretty surprised all right let's keep moving we have so we have there are two ballistic cases turns out these are both ballistic we're gonna try them both the iPhone 5 is in here and this one has some little holes in the front let's see how it does oh wow it's gonna like turn it on oh you're brutal you're really getting into this they're like I don't have this kind of time let's check this bad boy that one clearly we're gonna have to wait remove from the case or two I don't even know are indeed it's just frozen solid power button ooh I hear crack it's it's not it's not coming on I think the button maybe so I think the buttons frozen yeah okay but you know we'll let it warm up over a period of days I guess look at the frost on that one okay and then let's try the s3 in the kit the case though by the way structural integrity wise at least the case is looking good the Samsung Galaxy s3 is inside this ballistic case which seems I'm a little but the cameras are exposed oh there's no film oh yeah so that's kind of a bummer for that device but nevertheless and it goes oh look at the bubbles it looks really pretty like Halloween I think our studio audience is horrified right now they're in stunned silence GoPro by the way still recording okay can you hear that a cracking going on in there do you hear those sounds at all all that cracking all right now though okay once again the phone seems okay though all right once again we'll let that warm up you guys will probably still be here when we see if it's okay but we have one last device to do the only one that's going in unprotected brine Tong can you come here for a minute because I think we're gonna this is a two-parter I'm sorry you guys there's one device that we're taking out of the giveaway pool and that is our so far indestructible iPad because everything we've done to it it's been okay now it has water in it and it has no case and I've going in last I I think it's gonna survive and it goes and then it actually sounds like it's frying I know it sounds exactly like a fryer and it looks like it did the bubble so that's just why the screen the screen the screens on you guys see that yeah that's great it's on I know Jeff went away wow it's a last breath yeah you guys thing is unbelievable look the water on the inside is starting to freeze you can see the ice where that was the water from the inside all right well now that it's well and truly frozen it wouldn't be a liquid nitrogen test if we didn't go a little bit Terminator on it okay maybe I should bring it over and you should climb up I don't think you can climb while you're holding it we're gonna go ahead and drop this one baby back up just a bit take one step back cover your beautiful faces all right like it's frozen on the inside all right play the logo just went back on look he's totally like now and on top step the logo is still on you guys that thing is amazing you can give that to any kid you want okay you guys ready we're gonna count this out little not Chuck because I'm gonna do three two one drop it come cover your eyeballs I mean I'm just gonna I'm gonna be like this I got to protect this face you know what I mean okay here we go guys ready three two one drop it is that screen it's not okay I I actually think it was so strong it dented the cement it dented this okay here we go guys let's pick okay as far as I'm concerned that is a pass this thing is still kicking that's unbelievable all right incredibly every device we put in liquid nitrogen came out okay the GoPro hero2 not only survived it recorded the whole experience recording the light until plastic and the iPhone 5 and galaxy s3 were fine inside their ballistic cases it looks really pretty once we let them thaw out a little both turned on you hear those sounds and all that cracking
