00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:14.160
to learn more. Welcome to my unboxing and overview of some cool stuff we got

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:18.240
from minissuit.com. So, you can check them out in the video description.

00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:22.400
Basically, we needed some cases because I don't know if you guys follow me on

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:28.960
Twitter or not, but this is a case for the HTC1, which I desperately need. I

00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:30.320
recently dropped it again and scratched

00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:36.239
it pretty good. So, it comes with a little pink like bullet, which probably

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:39.280
has some sort of utility. There's a rubber thing on the top here that I'm

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:45.040
sure does something, but I'm not going to worry too much about that. Anyway,

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:50.000
uh, it also comes with a screen protector as well as a microfiber cloth

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:53.360
for cleaning off the screen before you apply it. And it comes with the case

00:00:52.079 --> 00:01:00.719
itself. So, I'm not going to worry too much about the screen protector cuz I use liquid armor. But other than that,

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:02.879
there we go. My one is now more

00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.560
protected and it looks a little something like that. Pretty snug fit

00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.400
actually. It's not bad. And it's obviously not going to protect it from

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:14.400
any kind of like, you know, 20ft falls or anything like that, but still gives

00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:17.680
you easy access to the ports you need as well as Yeah. See, it doesn't restrict

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:22.560
being able to plug anything into the 3 and 1/2 mil as well as the volume

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.159
control. And there you go. Nice and low profile. One of the things I don't like

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:29.040
about cases is that a lot of the time they're very bulky. and you know, you

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:33.200
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

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:37.280
soft touch, grippy feel to the back of it. This was the one I picked. Slick

00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:43.840
picked a different case for his Galaxy S3. So, he picked their uh case for

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:47.040
Samsung Galaxy S3 S393.

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:50.479
So, this one right here is like a more

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.560
professional style looking case. So, you

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:56.560
clip the S3 in here. It's got a spot for your flash as well as your camera and I

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:00.320
I don't know. It's probably a speaker or something. Can't remember. I've never

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:04.560
actually done an overview of the S3 in anyway. So, this goes in like this. It's

00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:08.959
got a little hinge right here and then closes over the S3 just like that.

00:02:07.119 --> 00:02:13.200
There's a little got a little mini suit logo on it. Does add a little bit more

00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:19.599
bulk than mine. So you can see mine's a lot slimmer, but includes a protective

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.480
screen cover and gives you the option to set up your phone like that if you want

00:02:20.959 --> 00:02:26.239
to view it. And I think yeah, there's just uh one angle there for that. So

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:30.640
there you go. That was the one Slick picked. And then I actually don't have

00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:35.120
my wife's phone on me, but she picked one that was very similar to mine anyway

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:39.599
for her Droid DNA. So this one's very similar to the one except instead of a

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.560
hard plastic case, it's more of a rubberized case. So, same thing,

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:48.640
minisuit branding, and that's pretty much it. Without having the phone there

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:54.480
to show you that one, I don't really have too many options. Other things that

00:02:50.720 --> 00:02:59.200
I picked up are the Design Craft

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:01.120
Angrymon smartphone, analog woofer, and

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:05.599
cradle. So, there's a few different ways you can put your phone in it. So, number

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.280
one is woofer mode. So, the idea is that

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:13.200
your speaker, depending on where it's positioned, would be somehow enhanced by

00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.280
putting it in like this. Number two is cradle. So, this will allow you to have

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:20.959
it sit there and sort of notify you if anything comes up. And last but not

00:03:19.519 --> 00:03:27.599
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

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.959
clip inside and that will be handy. So,

00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:34.560
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

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:38.319
something to sort of chuck my phone on so that I can see notifications when

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.280
they're incoming. And that is pretty much it for that. Pretty

00:03:39.519 --> 00:03:46.239
straightforward. So, the bottom has little rubberized feet on it. It's

00:03:43.200 --> 00:03:48.959
actually got kind of a a siliconey type

00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:52.959
build to it, so it's quite flexible. And there you have it. That's pretty much it

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:55.920
for that one. And then this one, this is the one that I think is actually

00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:01.120
probably the coolest thing. This is the My Vizu or Mi Vizu or whatever you want

00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:05.439
to call it. M I V IZ U universal car mount system. Compatible cradle for all

00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:10.640
types of handheld devices between 4 to 9 cm in width such as mobile phones,

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:16.560
smartphones, PDAs, mini GPS, and MP3, MP4 devices. So, this guy right here is

00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:22.079
a universal mount for your car. And I've run into the challenge lately of wanting

00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:26.400
to use my phone for GPS and having it be illegal to hold it because I live in BC

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:30.960
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

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:36.080
it without doing that. So, something like this looks like the solution. We're going to go ahead and mount this. We'll

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:39.520
be back in a moment. It is so friaking hot in this car. So, we're going to try

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:44.720
and do this pretty quickly. We're going to start with the air vent mount. So,

00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.479
this one right here goes basically like

00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:51.040
that. You attach it to It looked like it worked best to me when you hook it on to

00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:54.720
the top vent. So, there you go. That secures into place. And then this bottom

00:04:52.960 --> 00:05:00.000
one can be used to adjust the angle. So, you kind of put that wherever you want

00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:02.240
it to go. And then you take the ah the

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.759
cradle here and you just press these two buttons. This is kind of cool. I like

00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:10.000
this. It's all space age and junk. Uh anyway,

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.919
I I know I know they all work like this. Anyway, so there's uh rubber pieces here

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:17.520
that hold the phone into place. So, they've got a bit of a of a lipped shape

00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:21.680
to them. See that? And so that it shouldn't slip out once it's actually

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:28.720
secured into place there. Then you just take that and put it on there.

00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:30.560
All right. So, that, my friends, is the

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:33.919
universal air vent one, which has the added benefit of cooling your phone when

00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:37.199
it Oh my goodness, I'm like sweating here. When it's hot like this. All

00:05:35.840 --> 00:05:42.720
right. So, the next one here is adjustable in a number of different ways. So, you can undo this guy right

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:47.280
here. spin this around so that this can point in any direction you want. Then

00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:51.360
you can also twist it in any direction you want. Secure it where exactly you

00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.360
want it to be. Then all you got to do is take this.

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:59.600
Okay. So the release, open it up like that and you can stick that oh, I don't

00:05:57.280 --> 00:06:03.600
know, to your dash or to your window. So say for example, if you wanted to keep a

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:08.720
phone in the very top sort of right hand corner of your windshield, then you

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:10.400
could adjust this guy right here. Adjust

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:14.000
this guy right here. lock her into place. This is now secured. And then you

00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:17.600
can use that to release it. Then you just pull that off there and put that on

00:06:15.840 --> 00:06:22.080
there. If I can line it up, that'll help. There

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:26.720
we go. And then from there, actually, probably I wouldn't use this mount to

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:29.199
mount it vertically. I'd probably use it to mount it horizontally. It helps if

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:33.199
you turn it around the right way. Anyway, there we go. And then you could

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:39.160
use it for your GPS or whatever else you want to use it for. So, it clips into

00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.160
place. Doesn't move.

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:47.600
Oh, let's see if my bike gets hit. Here we go. Here we go. Dash cam. Dash cam. Dash cam.

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:50.880
Nope. So, here's a line. How to get a uh a traffic violation ticket instantly

00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.039
tip. There you go. That's how you actually affix it to things. So, you can

00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:59.919
see that's actually on there pretty good on the windscreen of my bike. The bike

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:01.759
itself is actually moving pretty good.

00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:07.199
And that's uh that hasn't come off yet. So then we can take our our joint right

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:11.680
here and that we'd have to be smoking if we were actually going to attach a phone

00:07:09.039 --> 00:07:18.080
to the front of our bike like this. And uh there you have it. So, in theory,

00:07:15.280 --> 00:07:22.240
which I do not recommend doing because in addition to getting a ticket, it

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:27.120
also, particularly if you're in a riding posture down here, kind of pretty much

00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:30.800
destroys any any visibility that you might have had in front of yourself,

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:35.199
which is the direction that motorbikes move. Um,

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:38.800
yeah, in theory, this this could work, but please don't do this. I just wanted

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:42.400
to find out if it would even mount to the because it's quite a curved screen

00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:47.880
here, but you can see it's quite securely mounted. See, we could look

00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.880
over here. See?

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:55.040
