Dave Taylor here and I'm looking at
0:16
another iPhone 10 case this one's pretty
0:18
sweet though this is the veena commute
0:21
for the iPhone 10 iPhone 10 it's snuggly
0:24
inside it's a really nice case and it's
0:28
a dual layer polycarbonate and TPU so TP
0:31
use the rubbery material and the
0:34
polycarbonate is the harder material and
0:36
handles a four foot drop and they have
0:38
what they call corner guard technology
0:41
which means that the corners are also
0:43
nice and tough has a good bevel to it
0:46
just enough that it actually is
0:48
protecting the front of the screen and
0:50
not so much that it's annoying when
0:52
you're trying to put your finger over it
0:54
so they got all the basics right with
0:56
this phone case but what makes this
0:59
particularly interesting is that you
1:01
look at the back design you're like
1:02
that's pretty interesting looking but lo
1:04
and behold there's a secret pocket and I
1:08
have a credit card in there because you
1:10
can put in a credit card you can
1:11
probably put in maybe to a couple of
1:14
bucks worth of cash not much it's not
1:17
very big but it's not intended to be big
1:19
has a nice magnetic catch on it so this
1:22
isn't going to just accidentally open
1:24
and you're not going to lose anything
1:25
which is an issue with a lot of these
1:27
wallet cases and the design is very
1:31
attractive now it also because it has
1:34
that on the back it also serves as a
1:37
stand so for example I can do something
1:40
like this and now I can watch a movie or
1:43
TV or whatever on my phone perfect angle
1:47
when I'm done boom I'm back and I'm
1:49
ready to roll and you can see it adds
1:52
some thickness but not very much at all
1:54
really really they've done so much right
1:56
now the only weirdness with it is that
1:59
if I do it like this and put it on my
2:01
Cheech are jur ain't nothing happening
2:03
because as they say you have to open the
2:07
flap and then once you have the flap
2:09
open well let's see once you have the
2:12
flap open it should be charged
2:13
hmm it worked in tests it's not working
2:18
this time start taking the card out no
2:23
we are not having success so I will say
2:26
I have had it work with Qi charging with
2:29
the flap open so I'm not sure what's
2:31
going on right now
2:32
maybe my bladder maybe things aren't
2:35
plugged in properly
2:36
I'll give it one more try right one more
2:39
try to see if we can get it to charge
2:41
wirelessly there we go
2:43
so now it's charging wirelessly so it's
2:46
not exactly optimal the way they've
2:48
designed it probably need to do
2:51
something more like that there we go so
2:53
now it's charging but you could hear
2:55
from the beeps it's not a great
2:58
connection so the Qi charging systems
3:00
like you're connected you're not really
3:02
connected you're connected you're not
3:03
really connected that would drive me
3:05
insane so the thing is is that even
3:07
though I love Qi charging and think it's
3:09
really cool a lot of people actually
3:11
aren't using it so you know if you're
3:14
gonna just charge it through the bottom
3:15
anyway just like you would any other
3:17
iPhone then you won't even care but if
3:20
you are using Qi charging then be aware
3:22
that this particular wallet case with
3:24
all of its nice thick heavy materials is
3:27
not extremely cheap charging friendly
3:31
may be a big deal maybe not now
3:34
otherwise there's also a built-in metal
3:36
plate because that that's what's
3:37
actually causing the trouble here is
3:39
that there's a metal plate here so if
3:41
you have a magnetic mount in your car
3:43
boom you can do that and it'll work that
3:46
is so cool
3:47
I mean they've really done everything
3:48
right Qi charging is a little dicey but
3:51
I'm not sure how many people are using
3:52
it yet particularly since Apple isn't
3:54
yet sharp um shipping their Cheech Arjun
3:57
pad which supposed to come out soon who
4:00
knows anyway so this is the veena
4:03
commute comes in four different color
4:05
combinations they have a really nice
4:07
gold one that kind of wish they had sent
4:09
me instead of this all black and grey
4:11
but be that as it may it's very nice and
4:15
I really like the fact that I can store
4:17
a credit card or driver's license and a
4:20
you know in a $20 bill and it actually
4:23
really does not at all obvious that
4:26
there's something in the back there
4:27
so this is a nice firm connection
4:29
nothing's fallen out and I can just use
4:31
it as a regular rugged phone case very
4:34
nice
