WEBVTT

00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:07.279
now the first time we checked out the Pelican 1065 hardback case which is an

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

00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:15.000
chance to really look at it Hands-On and

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

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:23.199
so I am actually like super hoping that

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:27.039
uh this case survives the stress test I've got the brightness turned way down

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

00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:37.360
there you go working iPad so uh no scratches or dents of any sort of

00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:41.079
reasonable level because I have a snug case which I absolutely love by the way

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

00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:50.520
watertight Crush proof legendary Pelican lifetime guarantee case so it's got an

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:55.199
easy open latch which is sealed shut under pressure and impact a foam liner

00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:58.160
which has a unique mold to protect iPads and tablets and a watertight gasket

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:01.879
around the outside which has a Tight Seal when the case is shut the automatic

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.159
purge valve keeps water and dust out while balancing air pressure and it is

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

00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:15.439
survive just looking at having seen the case already in person I suspect it'll

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

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:25.400
way to find out crazy crazy unboxing so there you go

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

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

00:01:31.520 --> 00:01:36.840
nothing inside there's that purge valve

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

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

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:51.479
out how to do it uh okay what else we got here oh yeah

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.040
rugged hinges so like five pieces of

00:01:51.479 --> 00:01:56.719
overlapping this and then there's a little feet here so you can put it down

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

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

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:07.759
they sent me this one so I didn't actually purchase it but there you go

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:10.879
Pelican protector case and the storm case care and instructions so you know

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:16.360
make sure that you maintain your o-ring and don't let

00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:19.599
it become sort of cracked and and and let it go bad over time because that

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

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

00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:34.560
neoprene like in terms of what the material feels like so what you can see

00:02:31.239 --> 00:02:36.879
is that uh rather than having like a a a

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:41.840
flat surface against a rubber o-ring it's more like an indented surface here

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:46.440
against like a neoprene seal so this should actually be very very waterproof

00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.040
and then the pieces here are going to prevent the screen from getting

00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:52.480
scratched or anything else like that so let's go ahead and chck the tablet

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

00:02:54.519 --> 00:02:59.519
have to take off your uh like you don't

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

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

00:03:05.640 --> 00:03:12.400
pristine 16 gig iPad which I really really hope I'm not about to break so

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

00:03:14.799 --> 00:03:21.040
doesn't really look like it all right so we're going to leave

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

00:03:23.239 --> 00:03:30.560
do to it do not destroy it we'll be back

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:32.840
I have to confess the shaking is inside

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.879
doesn't really Inspire confidence to the extent that I would normally have with a

00:03:34.519 --> 00:03:39.519
pelican product but here we go here's a 3ft drop

00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:46.120
test okay

00:03:42.920 --> 00:03:49.519
so the tablet survived our 3 foot drop

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:51.439
test let me do a four foot drop

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

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:57.840
goods you guys so uh actually here you can see what happened to the corner on

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

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:04.879
let's go ahead and hit it again four feet all

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:13.000
right okay yeah okay no cracks no uh no

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

00:04:15.200 --> 00:04:20.160
additional impact resistance okay so

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

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

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:30.880
that's how tall I am ready

00:04:30.919 --> 00:04:37.840
okay all right well the latch hasn't come open which was the problem we had

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:44.240
with our Otterbox iPhone case and you can see that our tablet has indeed

00:04:40.919 --> 00:04:47.120
survived however when we dropped it from

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

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:55.400
as much as it was perfect for the 3ot

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

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

00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:07.479
would have liked to see this case a little bit more um a little bit more

00:05:05.960 --> 00:05:11.960
padded right around the edges so you can actually see the spot where that corner

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:16.560
impacted but other than that it did keep the screen from cracking it did keep it

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

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

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

00:05:27.039 --> 00:05:31.639
reviews and other iPad tossing videos

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

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:45.440
more let's do iPad bowling here we

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

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

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:03.319
hinge no okay the hinge because of its double lock actually doesn't have any

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:07.520
problems cool okay yeah survived that's good see screen's still on still works
