now the first time we checked out the Pelican 1065 hardback case which is an iPad case or 10-inch tablets case was that CES but this is our first time having a chance to really look at it hands on and yeah we're gonna stress test it so I brought along this is my personal iPad too so I am actually like super hoping that this case survives the stress test I've got the brightness turned way down so you guys probably can't even see that it's a working iPad but there you go working iPad so no scratches or dents of any sort of reasonable level cuz I have a snug case which I absolutely love by the way but that's a slim case this is more like an extreme ruggedized dust proof watertight crush proof legendary Pelican lifetime guarantee case so it's not an easy open latches sealed shut under pressure and impact a phone liner which has a unique mold to protect iPads and tablets and a watertight gasket around the outside which has a tight seal when the case is shut the automatic purge valve keeps water and dust out while balancing air pressure and it is tested for impacts up to 3 feet and submersion to 3 feet now I suspect it'll survive just looking at having seen the case already in person I suspect it'll survive a drop of more than 3 feet to be perfectly honest but there's only one way to find out hahahaha crazy crazy unboxing so there you go let's have a look at the case itself pelican so you know it's awesome it's a nice strong plastic it has kind of a hollow sound to it because there's nothing inside there's that purge valve here's the latch that has kind of a two-stage latch so it's one two just like that okay so we're gonna try and open this up if I can actually figure out how to do it okay what else we got here oh yeah rugged hinges so like five pieces of overlapping this and then there's a little feet here so you can put it down on stuff I don't know alright let's see if I could yes there we go so it had kind of a bit of a seal going on so thank you for purchasing pelican they sent me this one so I didn't actually purchase it but there you go Pelican protector case and storm case care and instructions so you know make sure that you maintain your o-ring and don't let it be sort of cracked and and and let it go bad overtime because that will not be a good thing so speaking of the o-ring the o-ring seal is right here and it's actually more like instead of like a rubber it's more like a a neoprene like in terms of what the material feels like so what you can see is that rather than having like a flat surface against a rubber o-ring it's more like an indented surface here against like a neoprene seal so this should actually be very very waterproof and then the pieces here are gonna prevent the screen from getting scratched or anything else like that so let's go ahead and Chuck the tablet inside I wonder if it will fit with the snug case you don't even have to take off you're like you don't have to take off your regular day-to-day case although I don't think it's sealed 100% well then it was like that so here we go let's take it out of there so this is my pristine 16 gig iPad which I really really hope I'm not about to break so we'll go ahead and put that in there does it go in a particular way doesn't really look like it all right so we're gonna leave that on and I'm going to cross my fingers that the things we're about to do to it do not destroy it we'll be back I have to confess the shaking inside it doesn't really inspire confidence to the extent that I would normally have with a pelican product but here we go here's a three foot drop test yeah okay ah so the tablet survived our three foot drop test let me do a four foot drop test we're going right we're going right for the corner here we're going for the goods you guys so actually here you can see what happened to the corner on it last time do you want to check that out so that's our three foot drop test let's go ahead and hit it again four feet all right yeah okay yeah okay no cracks no no no damage of any sort inside got some grass in here that's probably yeah you know additional impact resistance okay so I've had a lot of people ask how tall I am especially in the context of how I'm a lot shorter than slick so we're going to do a five foot six inch drop test because that's how tall I am ready okay all right well the latch hasn't come open which was the problem we had with our otterbox iphone case and you can see that our tablet has indeed survived however when we dropped it from that height you can see that we did get somewhere on this corner right here so as much as it was perfect for the three foot and the four foot drop test sorry I might be too close to the camera for them to see that so there you go that's what the the wear on that corner looks like so I would have liked to see this case a little bit more a little bit more padded right around the edges so you can actually see the spot where that corner impacted but other than that it didn't keep the screen from cracking it did keep it from being damaged and I mean the case is waterproof so if we were to say for example I don't I don't really want to dig it out of this puddle so I'm not gonna do that but don't forget to subscribe - tech tips we're in boxing's reviews and other iPad tossing videos I mean not that probably wouldn't break it even actually that probably wouldn't break a tablet wouldn't it we can do one more let's do iPad bullying I mean that's the kind of thing that would break your tablet and that's the kind of thing that I would expect it you know we should drop it right on the hinge no okay the hinge because of its double lock actually doesn't have any problems cool okay yeah it's arrived it's good see screen stolen still works
