from minissuit.com. So, you can check them out in the video description.
Basically, we needed some cases because I don't know if you guys follow me on
Twitter or not, but this is a case for the HTC1, which I desperately need. I
recently dropped it again and scratched
it pretty good. So, it comes with a little pink like bullet, which probably
has some sort of utility. There's a rubber thing on the top here that I'm
sure does something, but I'm not going to worry too much about that. Anyway,
uh, it also comes with a screen protector as well as a microfiber cloth
for cleaning off the screen before you apply it. And it comes with the case
itself. So, I'm not going to worry too much about the screen protector cuz I use liquid armor. But other than that,
there we go. My one is now more
protected and it looks a little something like that. Pretty snug fit
actually. It's not bad. And it's obviously not going to protect it from
any kind of like, you know, 20ft falls or anything like that, but still gives
you easy access to the ports you need as well as Yeah. See, it doesn't restrict
being able to plug anything into the 3 and 1/2 mil as well as the volume
control. And there you go. Nice and low profile. One of the things I don't like
about cases is that a lot of the time they're very bulky. and you know, you
buy this slim phone and then you put a huge case on it. It's like, what was the point of that? So, it's got a bit of a
soft touch, grippy feel to the back of it. This was the one I picked. Slick
picked a different case for his Galaxy S3. So, he picked their uh case for
Samsung Galaxy S3 S393.
So, this one right here is like a more
professional style looking case. So, you
clip the S3 in here. It's got a spot for your flash as well as your camera and I
I don't know. It's probably a speaker or something. Can't remember. I've never
actually done an overview of the S3 in anyway. So, this goes in like this. It's
got a little hinge right here and then closes over the S3 just like that.
There's a little got a little mini suit logo on it. Does add a little bit more
bulk than mine. So you can see mine's a lot slimmer, but includes a protective
screen cover and gives you the option to set up your phone like that if you want
to view it. And I think yeah, there's just uh one angle there for that. So
there you go. That was the one Slick picked. And then I actually don't have
my wife's phone on me, but she picked one that was very similar to mine anyway
for her Droid DNA. So this one's very similar to the one except instead of a
hard plastic case, it's more of a rubberized case. So, same thing,
minisuit branding, and that's pretty much it. Without having the phone there
to show you that one, I don't really have too many options. Other things that
I picked up are the Design Craft
Angrymon smartphone, analog woofer, and
cradle. So, there's a few different ways you can put your phone in it. So, number
one is woofer mode. So, the idea is that
your speaker, depending on where it's positioned, would be somehow enhanced by
putting it in like this. Number two is cradle. So, this will allow you to have
it sit there and sort of notify you if anything comes up. And last but not
least, you can use it for storage. So, they've got the idea being here that you can throw like a thumb tack and a paper
clip inside and that will be handy. So,
basically, I grabbed one of these so that I'd have something that I could put products on to show them off, as well as
something to sort of chuck my phone on so that I can see notifications when
they're incoming. And that is pretty much it for that. Pretty
straightforward. So, the bottom has little rubberized feet on it. It's
actually got kind of a a siliconey type
build to it, so it's quite flexible. And there you have it. That's pretty much it
for that one. And then this one, this is the one that I think is actually
probably the coolest thing. This is the My Vizu or Mi Vizu or whatever you want
to call it. M I V IZ U universal car mount system. Compatible cradle for all
types of handheld devices between 4 to 9 cm in width such as mobile phones,
smartphones, PDAs, mini GPS, and MP3, MP4 devices. So, this guy right here is
a universal mount for your car. And I've run into the challenge lately of wanting
to use my phone for GPS and having it be illegal to hold it because I live in BC
and the law has recently been changed. So, you're not really allowed to touch it. So, you have to find a way to mount
it without doing that. So, something like this looks like the solution. We're going to go ahead and mount this. We'll
be back in a moment. It is so friaking hot in this car. So, we're going to try
and do this pretty quickly. We're going to start with the air vent mount. So,
this one right here goes basically like
that. You attach it to It looked like it worked best to me when you hook it on to
the top vent. So, there you go. That secures into place. And then this bottom
one can be used to adjust the angle. So, you kind of put that wherever you want
it to go. And then you take the ah the
cradle here and you just press these two buttons. This is kind of cool. I like
this. It's all space age and junk. Uh anyway,
I I know I know they all work like this. Anyway, so there's uh rubber pieces here
that hold the phone into place. So, they've got a bit of a of a lipped shape
to them. See that? And so that it shouldn't slip out once it's actually
secured into place there. Then you just take that and put it on there.
All right. So, that, my friends, is the
universal air vent one, which has the added benefit of cooling your phone when
it Oh my goodness, I'm like sweating here. When it's hot like this. All
right. So, the next one here is adjustable in a number of different ways. So, you can undo this guy right
here. spin this around so that this can point in any direction you want. Then
you can also twist it in any direction you want. Secure it where exactly you
want it to be. Then all you got to do is take this.
Okay. So the release, open it up like that and you can stick that oh, I don't
know, to your dash or to your window. So say for example, if you wanted to keep a
phone in the very top sort of right hand corner of your windshield, then you
could adjust this guy right here. Adjust
this guy right here. lock her into place. This is now secured. And then you
can use that to release it. Then you just pull that off there and put that on
there. If I can line it up, that'll help. There
we go. And then from there, actually, probably I wouldn't use this mount to
mount it vertically. I'd probably use it to mount it horizontally. It helps if
you turn it around the right way. Anyway, there we go. And then you could
use it for your GPS or whatever else you want to use it for. So, it clips into
place. Doesn't move.
Oh, let's see if my bike gets hit. Here we go. Here we go. Dash cam. Dash cam. Dash cam.
Nope. So, here's a line. How to get a uh a traffic violation ticket instantly
tip. There you go. That's how you actually affix it to things. So, you can
see that's actually on there pretty good on the windscreen of my bike. The bike
itself is actually moving pretty good.
And that's uh that hasn't come off yet. So then we can take our our joint right
here and that we'd have to be smoking if we were actually going to attach a phone
to the front of our bike like this. And uh there you have it. So, in theory,
which I do not recommend doing because in addition to getting a ticket, it
also, particularly if you're in a riding posture down here, kind of pretty much
destroys any any visibility that you might have had in front of yourself,
which is the direction that motorbikes move. Um,
yeah, in theory, this this could work, but please don't do this. I just wanted
to find out if it would even mount to the because it's quite a curved screen
here, but you can see it's quite securely mounted. See, we could look
over here. See?
There we go. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more unboxings,
