hey what's up Tech fans Jays $0.02 here and today we're gonna change gears a little bit we're not gonna talk about anything computer related we are going to talk about smart devices and protection for that because if you own a smartphone and I don't care if it's an Android or Windows Phone or an iPhone these things are freaking expensive and with how terrible insurance plans are for these devices it could still cost you hundreds of dollars to replace this thing if you damage it if you've ever dropped your smartphone especially if you don't have a case or any sort of protection on it you know that feeling and it always lands facedown so you're gonna pick it up dude I've never double turnover and that's like it's like this terrible suspensive is the screen shattered and then when you look at it and it's not you know well you're probably one more drop away from it shattering because every time you drop it you weaken it a little bit the fractal design r5 is so amazing it fits all kinds of cool hardware in there water cooling air cooling and on top of that it's silent and it's awesome like explosions or like today we're going to talk about OtterBox and some of the cases available for the brand new Galaxy s6 as well as other smartphones on the market and well considering I've been using OtterBox for a while figured we'll go ahead and share a video with you guys showing you just how comfortable I am with throwing around devices that are protected by OtterBox so last month OtterBox reached out to me and asked if I want to do a video about the new galaxy s6 and some of the new cases for it and I said well unfortunately I don't have an s6 I am an Ambo at amboy I'm I am an iPhone user and I just had I don't have access to any of the Android stuff and they said well that's no problem we'll go ahead and send you a device so here it is right here they sent me an Android s6 and you guys saw on Tech Talk that I actually chucked this thing over my shoulder and it bounced around the walls in this room because of how comfortable I am with OtterBox cases in fact my old day job when I worked at IT we had over 300 handheld devices between iPads and iPhones in the field for our field reps and they were all protected by OtterBox Defender cases so OtterBox is not like some startup brand they've been around for a long long time now the galaxy s6 along with a lot of other smartphones and current design iPhone 6 included have nice rounded metal edges which makes the thing absolutely terrible for handling I don't know if the developers of these phones are putting like lubricated materials built into their their bodies because they all are extremely slick and easy to drop it's almost like they're doing it on purpose and it's a way to help boost sales I don't really know but the OtterBox is designed to give you not only a lot of protection but also a lot of grip now OtterBox has three different types of protection for your smart devices they have the Defender case which is like the giant behemoth case you've got the commuter case which is a little bit smaller but still very very rugged the simmetry case which is a one-piece easy to install just clean of a clip-on or sort of a snap-on case and then you've got your alpha glass which is their glass screen protectors we'll be taking a look at three of them today the defender the symmetry and the alpha glass now I'm personally a fan of the symmetry because it's one piece it's rubber inside where it matters everywhere it touches your phone it's a soft rubber so you're not going to scratch your device especially on these new devices like this has a glass back on here you don't want to scratch that up you are gonna have a nice rubber grip where it matters everywhere your thumb pretty much would touch it's a nice rubber grip rubberized buttons and it's going to give you a ton of dropp protection now installing it's extremely easy and that's what I like about the simmetry case being a one-piece snap-on is the fact that you don't have to do like the OtterBox Defender case where it comes apart you got to put it in and snap it on and snap this and I don't care for that I'm not a handyman I'm not a police officer or a fireman or working in construction I don't need that level of protection so the simmetry case is perfect for me where it keeps it nice and thin it's easy to handle it's not too bulky in my pocket it's not too small but it's not too big we're deuce yeah I totally ripped off Barclays right there we all know he was the first person to ever say wooden butt is but installation is extremely easy you just take a side slide it in pop the corners / it's flexible and there you go but you also have a nice hard shell on here where it's gonna be nice and rugged where it counts that's why I'm able to do things like that with this phone and have absolutely no worries whatsoever about there being any damage to it so if this thing ever slips out of my hand I'm not gonna be too worried about it in fact the wife has been using one right here on her iPhone 6 for quite a while she's got the teal and blue one fortunately the pink kind of changes color and turns a little bit dirty because bright colored rubber picks up dyes from your jeans and stuff like that unfortunately now the other case that we have here is the OtterBox Defender which is a multi now the other case we have here is the OtterBox Defender I totally left that in it's worth I'm fumbling all this stuff around which is a perfect example of why you need this now if you are a handyman or a police officer or a construction worker or somebody who's just extremely hard on your phone or you want a case that's gonna protect against camping or dirtbike riding or whatever then the OtterBox Defender is definitely going to be for you now this is a multiple piece case and it comes with a belt it can snap on to your belt there this is fully 360 rotatable it's got built-in screen protection and it's just completely rugged I mean there's this is like a man's case this is the case for men the charger port has a little cover for it here so you can keep dust out of it same with the headphone jack but it is not a waterproof case they they did have waterproof case for the iPhone 5 and 5s I don't know if they're gonna have one for the six I did do a review on that one I actually dunked it in water and had no concerns whatsoever but the thing I don't like about these cases personally for me is to get them on it's actually quite the struggle and I only know this because like I said earlier we used a ton of these at my old job so you've got this rubber piece right here that you have to peel off so this is kind of like your outer protection protection or like your shock layer then it's going to expose here a plastic clamshell that you've got to pop apart at the particular spots all right there we go so it's a three piece as you can see in dealing with multiple layer cases like this I just like be able to get my case or my phone in and out of the case really easy if you guys have an Android device with the expandable storage or removable battery you'd probably get annoyed taking this thing on and off but the inside of the case right here is very very soft material but when you put your device in there it definitely feels like it's cushioned on a nice soft layer take the outer piece right here clap clamp that down you take the outer piece and this pretty much just clips on make sure all the tabs are clipped down so then you have your device in the inner shell and then you take the rubber piece and you put that on over the top we'll probably be doing some close-ups here to show you guys this and then once that fits in the groove all around and it's all nice and groovy they've got the inner clamp shield put together and the outer rubber protective layer and as you can see it has glass protection on there and then if you wanted you can you know slide it into the belt clip and you have got at that point a freaking massive case to protect your phone but one that you can just literally I mean you could do whatever the hell you wanted with this thing it's not it's not gonna hurt it at all it's not so if you were a very active rugged outdoors person your men's man with a man's phone you're gonna need a men's case well that would definitely be the defender apparently I'm not a man's man because I like this imagery probably more of a girly man yeah it is a girly man about shut up nobody asked you now the last thing we're going to talk about here is their alpha glass glass protection it is the screen protector that goes on but it's glass it's anti scratch it's anti shatter it's going to basically be a level of protection for your glass so this glass will break before your glass it's actually designed to take an impact spread it out over the glass and absorb but once it breaks you need to change it because then it's no longer really offering any protection for your device but it's extremely easy to put on it is removable you can put it back on and re straight if you get it on there crooked and it's really cool because it's almost like self applying and I'll show you that right now now I wasn't personally all that excited about glass protection you know glass screen protectors when they first came out I mean yeah they're a lot easier to install they're not gonna scratch as easily they're not going to fade or turn cloudy depending on if you get like you know the cheap dollar store ones or those mall kiosk ones versus you know the twenty five dollar name-brand ones but the wife has been running one ever since we got her iPhone 6 and as you can see hers has already saved her glass so it's time to replace this one but you can see that it definitely offered the glass screen protectors definitely offer a level of protection for your device there you go guys a huge thank you to OtterBox for supplying me the device to show you guys these different cut types of cases remember they are available for a lot of different devices if you've never heard of OtterBox I'm wondering which Rock you've been living under and I'd kind of like to go down under that rock with you from time to time and just get away from the world because if you don't know who OtterBox is and you've definitely been away from the world and they cover all kinds of different devices as new devices come out they're always available usually on launch day because they work closely with the manufacturers so I'm curious what device you guys are using and what you're using to protect your devices so once again guys this has been Jase - sense thanks for watching if you guys are not subscribed and you enjoyed what you saw feel free to hit the subscribe

heck on out of here thanks for watching you guys make these videos possible couldn't do it without you eternally grateful for that and so I'm gonna try and do the best videos possible you guys have been bugging me where the heck is a skunkworks benchmark I had a Samsung 840 main drive failure now granted I didn't lose anything any important data I have all that data backed up on other drives but I had to get the system back up and running in all the OS installed and all my overclocking utilities and all of my benchmark stuff so that's why we're delayed a little bit here but we will be bringing it here shortly in the future but enough about that anyway it's time to get on out of here you guys are probably already clicked off the video and if you haven't well once again thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
