hello and welcome back to see Nets live coverage of CES 2019 I'm Vanessa and Arianna and I'm Alexis Avedis and this is breaking point are a live drop test where we determine who has the toughest iPhone case and Lexie we have quite the crowd out here what a crowd ladies and gentlemen the peak of CES thank you for joining us today you're rock stars we have ten contestants willing to take their cases to extreme Heights please welcome gierlach by spigen case ology pure gia griffin o WC sketch and catalyst and last year's winners looking to reclaim their crown Zizo eye blazing and pelican these are a courageous group of people here and so here's how it's gonna work we asked each company to bring their toughest case and a brand new iPhone 10 are that they're gonna be testing inside of the taste in case so we're gonna drop them to the from 6 10 15 and finally 20 feet to see which ones survive then if we need a tiebreaker oh this is fun we get to take it to the next level without cannonball right there right there I'm really hoping that we're gonna get this far because this is gonna be an amazing show if we can get to this oh yeah so now before we start here's what you get how you get disqualified cracks on the glass of any kind no matter what the size now this includes the camera lens or any issues with the touchscreen so basically if the phone doesn't work you're out exactly right you can see on the screen we have all of the disqualification court criteria right there and we're gonna start by dropping them at 6 feet and screen protectors are only allowed if they are sold with the case so are you ready to see us drop some bones yeah honestly one of my favorite things at CES and it's not because I love dropping things but this is just one of the most exciting shows at least we're kind of biased but at the CNET stage so I think we can do better guys come on Vanessa you are gonna be a drop test Queen today the queen of breaking things I think we tied for the crown but I think you probably win in terms of all the funds that you've ever broken on breaking point I put it out on my resume great at breaking stuff hey Vanessa it's time for you to get on that lid where I say goodbye Vanessa is gonna head on this scissor lift right up there you're a round of applause as she gets up to the scissor lift all right six feet so we're only starting at six eight and the reason why we are starting at 6 feet Vanessa maybe you'd like to fill us in on why we are at starting at 6 I bring a lot of phones have seen it but mainly just to kind of test them so we did a test of the iPhone 10 are on concrete at our CNET offices without a case and it actually survived at least the first drop from 5 feet so we figure if you have a case on it and it survives without a case at 5 feet we might as well start at 6 feet so they're all starting today at that height just because it had already survived without a case so exactly do we have first Lexie essentially you're dropping it from my head height okay I would like to step up to the stage our very first stint zzzz or slight of applause guys come on boys now you have you with one of the winners from last year and now you have to tell us in 60 seconds what makes your case so tough and what makes it so great factor it comes with a built-in kickstand comes with a holster clip and a lanyard all for $17.99 it is 12 feet military great job test is so there's a lot of bang for your buck and it was last year's winner so we're pretty excited to be here again and looking forward to the job test excellent and you did it in you know 34 seconds well done fantastic he didn't even 'extra 30 extra that he said that had that off have that off well done all right sir let's drop Vanessa here's how he's gonna go down first off I want to make it clear I'm not a machine there is no way to make each drop exactly the same so this is not really a scientific test we're just having some fun here and testing in real-world scenarios and a lot of these cases are not actually rated to drop these heights so they're just we're just having fun with it so with that in mind we're gonna start with C so at 6 feet screen side down because let's be honest that's what you care about the most and I'm gonna try to drop it exactly screen side down right here in 6 feet so help me count down we're gonna do three two one drop

case all right well hey my name is Josh I'm the co-founder of catalyst and I'm really really proud to announce our impact protection cases for the iPhone 10 10 s and the 10 s max and this is the XR historically we're known for making really high-performance waterproof cases so when we developer waterproof cases actually we we always have to have some kind of protection on our devices so all throughout the years I've been testing many many other devices with with all kinds of impact protection cases and I have a list that I think are the most perfect features for an impact protection case and for me it's got really great buttons on the side that we call our direct connect buttons they connect directly to your device so it really doesn't feel like there's a case on it at all and our rotation will switch for the mute toggle is just awesome you have to you have to try that yourself yeah and it's it's we think it's the right balance of a slim case with high impact protection this is 10 feet mil standard tested and that's for corner drops but the cool thing about this case is well as a company I founded the company with business partner oh oh we have out of time I'm sorry the buzzer the buzzer has started yes there is a wristband ok thank you so much I don't mean to be the bad guy but we are under time constraints so we're gonna start dropping 6 feet oh yeah I mean drop it

disappointed in myself that I reached the roof and I've not yet all right bones we have all of them have passed with 20 feet Vanessa come on down router blah everybody I've the 20 feet I'm not sure I'm gonna survive a genuinely was not expecting let every leg go down to pass at 20 feet but Vanessa's gonna come on down and we have really short amount of time to do our next crazy crazy test we didn't just to be clear we did not anticipate this going if we didn't I anticipate 10 of the cases making it to 20 feet but they all have which is a testament to how strong these cases are as you can see let's talk a little bit about is a crazy pipe contraption that we're going to use right first in our in our breaking point series yes so last year all we could do is go to 20 feet and we had a tight three-way time here to keep dropping them to try and get something to break so we could get a winner we have 10 that have survived at 20 feet what we have to do to break the tie is use this tube here okay that is crazy so we have we have a very special witness around the thumb and that's up I'm making all the way up there I was well done okay sorry why don't you tell us a little bit about what we're gonna do next with our I'm stainless steel I saw there's literally nowhere else to go so we did some rough calculations here and this is roughly a two pound ball bearing metal ball burying that is supposed to be stronger than dropping it or the force of it is more than dropping it from the 20 feet and we drop it from full feet four feet right look where we're starting this is more extreme so what we gonna do if everyone's comfortable yeah everybody in to our extra special fourth side raise your hand if you're okay with this if you're okay with going into the final round the bonus round to get a winner all right okay how many do we have in Oh everyone is everyone in oh my goodness well done round of away thank you so much everybody is in okay so this time I think we should have Lexie have some fun on the lift so what do you think yeah I'm gonna do this except I don't need to get on the lift all right I don't need to get on the lift because you didn't mean I like your mic Alexi yes please all right wait let's count down do you want to get a Caesar Oh Casey says going for that with the four foot ball bearing to Annette's route you to our pounds of metal falling on the back of the case in three two one drop oh you guys can't see from there oh my goodness I'll crack - I cracked the child how's everybody okay all right Bryan do the honors because you're so good at taking them out of the cases okay ah yeah this is fun are we can look at the back because that's Wow it's fine no it's fine what about the front the front let's see so it's got some it's got a bit of dust but that's because it was screen side down this one does have a screen protector I think it's fine I think it's fine it's fine fine fine all right hey-oh next one you guys making our jobs so during this one high places break okay next one is I place and I'm gonna put it into position and put it down there so two and a half pounds of ball bearing right now and three two one drop oh my gosh oh we have the case is damaged oh the phone's damaged let me just go in and retrieve this book can we get a shot of the tile right now because I feel really bad for the time in hire the denial is due this time last year this is what the screens looked like because nothing is breaking that's a testament to the cases that it's also a testament to the phone how's it looking Lexi looking fine the screen was fine I just open the camera oh wait so there's a little bit of pixel damage on the screen no I think that's because that's the image that we set no you think that it does that to me there's a little bit of pixel damage okay screen right that's just right pin let's we'll check it out open yeah yeah right you're right there's a bit but you know what this is not the I mean this is where the ball hit so as you can see there is some pixel damage on the screen what do you guys think grounds for disqualification or not I mean the phone nothing cracked on the phone so I think are we going to make the cool we got to make the collar like that we got to be brutal because honestly they're so good so it's still perfectly fine it's just a little mock on the screen little bit does it but it's a 520 feet that's amazing so we're gonna have to just for today but you got a sweet thing story we're gonna have cake qualify next one it didn't make it didn't quite make it they shoot with the screen okay next one in place Pelican 3 cheering one drop the tile is the tile Ishida's Mitterrand Whaley smash look at this okay Wow there's say okay so I did notice on the case itself the case front is smashed the cover on the case is totally smashed okay we also have to know that your own that it is being drops well and also I think that the the worst the tile gets the worst the Oh I'm very devastated to report that there is a crack on the screen however it's more devastatingly sonography to flee I know this is up please know that because the case is already done let's get a close-up of the tile that's already damaged which is going to impact it unfortunately we can't replace the tile just see it going okay keep going this is brutal I'm sorry okay who's next who's next we have it was here yeah Nokia look your luck right now okay this is I feel bad because then it's on the damage time three two one drop I think we're gonna see some breaking from this point I'm really bad I don't know if anybody's gonna survive at this point just because the tiles broken and it's kind of hurting the screens okay oh it's arrived it's cleared off on my it was just tile on it and you see that it survived it's arrived it's actually ear lock survived oh my goodness okay next one I'm on to case ology with the ball drop okay drop the ball Lexi but don't drop the ball all right don't drop it - drop it I got it two one drop oh this tile is getting the tile eating the tile is I don't I can't Ram I like I can't bear to watch and I hold it looking okay this is a screen protected don't we get there is a screen protector alright so the difficulty is the big reduce co2 with this is how am I gonna be able to peel it off I trust you oh well screen protector sorry that was just an illusion but you know what acts around next surrounding I can't have the screen protector so it's going without the screen protector for our next round so case ology survived let's continue with purity Alekseev ball drop your gear in three two one drop oh that doesn't look good that does not look good at all doesn't look good it doesn't look good big reveal oh yeah this is a very poetic I'm sorry it looks like a firework just Larry but this is so not real not yes let's be honest this is not real like warning disclaimer warning warning warning why not try this at home don't try this at home and the tile is in like total pieces underneath it's Smith three two one drop Oh who is this this one was Griffin this one - it's not looking good for a Griffin I can tell you now mm-hmm show the camera oh it's actually is it okay wait it's okay it was just some dust it was different survived Griffin moves on fine Wow okay all right it'll be next is this our ewc yes blue case is the blue case all right three two one drop I'm gonna get used to that sound how's it looking at least we've started to whittle this down again cleaning it off on the pan my parents the scientific way of course it survived Oh WC survived it survived let's keep going alright this is speed round sketches next sketch three two one drop that I I think I'm insane anymore because every time I say look bad it's bad it's not so let's see it no no that's bad no that that's really that's what that's really bad like the worst we've seen that one sorry again this is not real world no they know it's not real world it survived a 20 feet way beyond what it's rated for well done I'm sorry it is disqualified oh okay man this is just well I mean pain let's yeah so - one drop the tile is just coming a pot underneath who loses best-case scenario who lose his breaking point the tile the tile broke the tile tile broke before the phone sets catalyst survived catalyst catalyst survived survived Wow we have more than we expected going to the next round so Lexi what do you think should we just take it not to the top what do you guys think how much time do we have left we don't have any time okay let's see how taken George Lyon go just go just take it to the top how many phones do we have left that have made it through we have six phones we have six phones all right going need round you the final round all right how high is that that ball bearing on the top how high so we goes for eight twelve sixteen sixteen eckstein feet all right did feet drop of this two and a half pound so at all involved if we gotta have the phones on the ground so already the only thing is that we and I interval they might all die and then we won't be have a winner so what do we do they're all winners you're all winners you know what you're right they're all winners okay so we are ready up so you can Airy top of our cannon ball let you you only want to do this I mean yes yes we want to do this I'm gonna have to crouch down cuz I mean so I'm

tell her all right do we want to do this okay then we're not guys I'm really nervous being up here okay please turn back this is a very heavy bullet could kill someone it probably will please stand back Brian yeah this is where I first time we're dropping it ever from this height all right we're not sure what's gonna happen in writing look countering down Lexie three two one drop whoa yikes Wow okay if this survives that I don't know I don't know how breakers manic that was a nice sound effect okay how's it looking Vanessa so here's the catch here's the catch guys ah this is a screen protector so go it off peel it off let's peel it off no no no no all right sound effect da da da no no way no way no way okay you know what okay so there it does have this thing does have the same impact empath so in your hair we have to be fair we have to be fair I blazing also had it but we're gonna keep it because if this is the worst or sorry the least damaged phone then we can still crown at the winner so I'm gonna keep it over here I'm gonna keep it C so one here in the meantime all right next one okay let's keep going like the next one we have next year back is next so let's see if they can I mean C's already put up a good fight Lexie get ready because this is really shaking I'm gonna hold it as we drop okay three three two one drop wow the pipe is just going crazy there will be no tile left by the time we're done big reveal out yeah I was cutting my fingers to stall be Getti careful this is good but let's honestly I'm a round of applause because that is fantastic let's see its cases actually you know what the screen still works yeah you wouldn't want to touch it but it still works gierlach a round of applause but though it is a very good fun good effort over here let's keep going who's next case ology is neck now without the screen protectors alrighty alright row three three two one drop oh that just sounds bad yeah there's no way around it oh my god this is dented

and we have another cool and look at these these are getting amazing because now they're molding to the shape of the tile and they have they look like they've all been shot with a cannonball these are right piece of art later two more let's keep going and the screen right or don't see means they're not working aw see we ready three two one we ready yes okay three two one drop I mean it's it's kind of at a disadvantage at this point cuz the tile is so messed aisle is messed up by oh I mean the back is still good so this is a testament to the testament to care because they eat but I've tried they definitely destroyed definitely destroyed so all right we're gonna we're just gonna pile it up and lost is cattle lucky last catalyst all right maybe if we can clear the rubble a little bit it is a mess down there Lexie it's a mess a mess down there seriously okay all right all right last one catalyst three two one drop whoa extra broken now I yeah we're all gonna go down we're all gonna be punished by the tech gods later this isn't a not good either I mean it's it's kind of artistic on the back to be honest but it's not not it doesn't look good so that means here are our pile of broken phones and I mean none of them none of them really survived just because if we talk about criteria this one did not however because Zizo is the best-looking at this point thank you I think we're gonna crown Z so the winner Alexi I mean the the results speak for themselves right now yeah to be fair let's just be clear that Z so was the first so they had the advantage of not having to fall on the broken tile like the rest of them but for the purposes of this show and we do have a lovely more to give so we're gonna name Z so the winner of this competition again but you know what you're all winners because you all survived 20 feet exactly even though they're definitely not rated for 20 feet you all survive 20 feet so please round of applause for these cases who were bold enough great cuz we reached out to a lot of place makers we reached out to a lot of case makers and they didn't all take us up on the challenge so round of applause for these courageous folks over here it's such being
