welcome to my unboxing of the ultra thin case wait please don't hit the dislike
0:13
button okay I'm going to
0:16
confess I'm unboxing this because they messaged me on YouTube snug did that is
0:21
and they said would you like one of our cases we notic do you have an iPad and I
0:25
said sure and they said well then can you do a video about it and I said sure
0:29
So yes I am doing this video just so that I can get this iPad case for my
0:35
iPad 2 now that I've said that you've
0:39
probably already hit the dislike button and I guess I don't blame you because
0:42
I've pretty much sold out on this one but the fact that I am going to give it
0:46
a positive video is not so much an indication that I am selling out but
0:52
rather an indication that I was already interested in The Snug ultra thin case
0:57
for the iPad 2 before I asked to get one so as long as it meets my expectations
1:02
then I am expecting that my expectations will be met and I will be happy with it
1:07
okay less than 14 mm when holding iPad 2
1:12
protect both the front and back of iPad 2 and I will explain why that is
1:16
important at this time and the funny thing about this is I actually okay you
1:20
know what I'll tell the story after magnetic cover for instant on and off
1:23
cool and fold into an appro a appropriate angle for viewing and
1:27
writing okay so let's have a look first of all I'm going to show you guys
1:30
something that if you hit the dislike button already you're probably going to
1:34
hit the like button right about now okay so first there's a scratch on the back
1:38
of my iPad too because apparently I don't believe in cases can you see that
1:41
scratch no okay well it's pretty good it's pretty good it's pretty significant
1:45
but that is not the part that really
1:48
chews me up inside the part that oh
1:51
sorry hold on I got some notifications here I'm going have to go ahead and go
1:54
back to the hold on oh man really come on come on okay there we go
2:01
this is the part that really makes me wish that I was using a case on my iPad
2:05
2 at all times I broke my iPad
2:10
too I was sitting on the couch okay I was sitting on the couch
2:15
and I kind of like I had all my keys and all my stuff in my pockets and I didn't
2:20
realize that I had tossed my iPad 2 onto the floor in front of me and took my
2:23
keys in my pocket and I went like this and they
2:28
struck they struck my iPad 2 which now
2:33
has a big huge cracked horrible thing
2:36
here and it has a hairline crack that runs all the way down here turns out it
2:39
costs about 200 to 250 bucks to replace the glass so I won't be doing it but in
2:44
order to prevent any further damage I will be adding a case to my iPad too so
2:48
snug has uh allowed me to do that so yes
2:53
all right so here is a soft non-scratchy
2:56
surface so it won't scratch the back which is already scratched and it won't scratch the glass which is cracked and
3:01
horrible and uh yeah I hate that okay so
3:05
you basically take your iPad 2 and you put it in here snaps into place little
3:09
something like that okay hold on let me
3:13
just see let me just see if it snaps into place like that oh last one there
3:17
we go so it's now in place and
3:22
uh then it goes like that so oh yeah that is actually really thin check that
3:27
out so here hold on let me go get another tablet
3:30
you know what just come with me come with me okay so let's go get another tablet and we'll compare the thickness
3:35
of the iPad 2 with the snug case to the Motorola Zoom with no case and I suspect
3:42
that it will still be thinner or about as thin as the Motorola Zoom so let's
3:47
just grab that ah hold
3:50
up there we go okay let's go back let's
3:53
go back where the light is
3:57
good so here I'm going to put them on the table and you can compare the
4:00
thickness for yourself oh that's actually very similar okay so with the
4:05
snug ultra thin case for iPad 2 it is
4:08
about the thickness of a Motorola Zoom you
4:12
can go like this and I think it works the same way as that magic thing which I
4:17
don't think is Magic but you know hold on there you fold it in a
4:22
triangle and it goes like that I think is that right okay slick says I'm right
4:28
so there's like this or this or this although I have no idea how this works
4:32
okay let's try and figure this out
4:36
so really I don't think that seems very
4:40
likely hold on I think he's telling me I'm doing it
4:45
wrong
4:50
H oh yeah Okay cool so like this
5:00
see I struggle with apple things I may use them from time to time but if it
5:04
makes you guys feel any better I do struggle okay well I'm not convinced
5:08
about this one but it definitely does this and let's see if we can do this aha
5:14
it does this which is as good as this anyway so there you go and that's
5:19
actually oh hey look at that that's really solid I tried this with the magic
5:22
one before the the apple one and it actually wasn't this solid so yeah it
5:26
doesn't move like at all that's pretty good okay okay so thank you for checking
