1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:07,279
now the first time we checked out the Pelican 1065 hardback case which is an

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:13,240
iPad case or 10-in tablets case was at CES but this is our first time having a

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:15,000
chance to really look at it Hands-On and

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:21,000
yeah we're going to stress test it so I brought along this is my personal iPad 2

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,199
so I am actually like super hoping that

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,039
uh this case survives the stress test I've got the brightness turned way down

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:33,280
so uh you guys probably can't even see that it's a working iPad but uh

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:37,360
there you go working iPad so uh no scratches or dents of any sort of

9
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:41,079
reasonable level because I have a snug case which I absolutely love by the way

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:46,160
uh but that's a slim case this is more like uh an extreme ruggedized dust proof

11
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:50,520
watertight Crush proof legendary Pelican lifetime guarantee case so it's got an

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,199
easy open latch which is sealed shut under pressure and impact a foam liner

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:58,160
which has a unique mold to protect iPads and tablets and a watertight gasket

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,879
around the outside which has a Tight Seal when the case is shut the automatic

15
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:06,159
purge valve keeps water and dust out while balancing air pressure and it is

16
00:01:04,119 --> 00:01:11,320
tested for impacts up to 3 ft and submersion to 3 ft now I suspect it'll

17
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,439
survive just looking at having seen the case already in person I suspect it'll

18
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:21,000
survive a drop of more than 3 feet to be perfectly honest but there's only one

19
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:25,400
way to find out crazy crazy unboxing so there you go

20
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:29,280
let's have a look at the case itself it's Pelican so you know it's awesome

21
00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:34,799
it's a nice strong plastic it has kind of a Hollow sound to it because there's

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,840
nothing inside there's that purge valve

23
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:41,960
here's the latch that has kind of a two-stage latch so it's one two just

24
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:45,640
like that okay so we're going to try and open this up if I can actually figure

25
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:51,479
out how to do it uh okay what else we got here oh yeah

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,040
rugged hinges so like five pieces of

27
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:56,719
overlapping this and then there's a little feet here so you can put it down

28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,240
on stuff I don't know all right let's see if I can ah yes there we go so it

29
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:04,640
had kind of a a bit of a seal going on so thank you for purchasing Pelican uh

30
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,759
they sent me this one so I didn't actually purchase it but there you go

31
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,879
Pelican protector case and the storm case care and instructions so you know

32
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:16,360
make sure that you maintain your o-ring and don't let

33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,599
it become sort of cracked and and and let it go bad over time because that

34
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:24,239
will not be a good thing so speaking of the O-ring the O-ring seal is right here

35
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:28,720
and is actually more like a instead of like a rubber it's more like a a

36
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:34,560
neoprene like in terms of what the material feels like so what you can see

37
00:02:31,239 --> 00:02:36,879
is that uh rather than having like a a a

38
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:41,840
flat surface against a rubber o-ring it's more like an indented surface here

39
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:46,440
against like a neoprene seal so this should actually be very very waterproof

40
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:49,040
and then the pieces here are going to prevent the screen from getting

41
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:52,480
scratched or anything else like that so let's go ahead and chck the tablet

42
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:57,519
inside I wonder if it'll fit with the snug case oh look at that you don't even

43
00:02:54,519 --> 00:02:59,519
have to take off your uh like you don't

44
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:04,040
have to take off your regular day-to-day case although I don't think it sealed

45
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:08,360
100% when it was like that so here we go let's take it out of there so this is my

46
00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:12,400
pristine 16 gig iPad which I really really hope I'm not about to break so

47
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:16,159
we'll go ahead and put that in there does it go in a particular way uh

48
00:03:14,799 --> 00:03:21,040
doesn't really look like it all right so we're going to leave

49
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:27,440
that on and I'm going to cross my fingers that the things we're about to

50
00:03:23,239 --> 00:03:30,560
do to it do not destroy it we'll be back

51
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,840
I have to confess the shaking is inside

52
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:36,879
doesn't really Inspire confidence to the extent that I would normally have with a

53
00:03:34,519 --> 00:03:39,519
pelican product but here we go here's a 3ft drop

54
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:46,120
test okay

55
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:49,519
so the tablet survived our 3 foot drop

56
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:51,439
test let me do a four foot drop

57
00:03:49,519 --> 00:03:54,640
test we're going right we're going right for the corner here we're going for the

58
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,840
goods you guys so uh actually here you can see what happened to the corner on

59
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:01,720
it last time if you want to check that out so that's our three-foot drop test

60
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,879
let's go ahead and hit it again four feet all

61
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:13,000
right okay yeah okay no cracks no uh no

62
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:18,639
no damage of any sort inside got some grass in here that's probably a you know

63
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,160
additional impact resistance okay so

64
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:23,960
I've had a lot of people ask how tall I am especially in the context of how I'm

65
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:30,880
a lot shorter than slick so we're going to do a 5 foot 6 in drop test because

66
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:30,880
that's how tall I am ready

67
00:04:30,919 --> 00:04:37,840
okay all right well the latch hasn't come open which was the problem we had

68
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:44,240
with our Otterbox iPhone case and you can see that our tablet has indeed

69
00:04:40,919 --> 00:04:47,120
survived however when we dropped it from

70
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:53,520
that height you can see that we did get some wear on this corner right here so

71
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:55,400
as much as it was perfect for the 3ot

72
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,160
and the 4ot drop test sorry I might be too close to the camera for them to see

73
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:03,800
that so there you go that's what the uh the wear on that corner looks like so I

74
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:07,479
would have liked to see this case a little bit more um a little bit more

75
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,960
padded right around the edges so you can actually see the spot where that corner

76
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:16,560
impacted but other than that it did keep the screen from cracking it did keep it

77
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,479
from being damaged and I mean the case is waterproof so if we were to say for

78
00:05:18,479 --> 00:05:25,280
example I don't I don't really want to dig it out of this puddle so I'm not

79
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:31,639
going to do that but uh don't forget to subscribe to L's Tech tips for unboxings

80
00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:31,639
reviews and other iPad tossing videos

81
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:42,120
I mean that that probably wouldn't break it even actually that probably would break a tablet wouldn't it we can do one

82
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:45,440
more let's do iPad bowling here we

83
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,080
go I mean that's the kind of thing that would break your tablet and that's the

84
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,120
kind of thing that I would expect to you know we should drop it right on the

85
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:03,319
hinge no okay the hinge because of its double lock actually doesn't have any

86
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:07,520
problems cool okay yeah survived that's good see screen's still on still works
