So, I've got another Snug product here, you guys. And this one is actually kind
0:12
of interesting to me because it is an
0:16
iPad case that serves the purpose of
0:19
holding your iPad when it's in the car.
0:24
So, obviously, it's not intended for the driver. It doesn't come with any
0:27
instructions, which maybe maybe I got like an OEM version or something. And
0:32
there's there's one that that does come with instructions or something. But, uh,
0:37
I guess we'll just have to kind of go on a voyage of discovery here and figure
0:40
out how this works. So, I'm going to try putting it in a snug ultra thin case,
0:44
which I happen to have lying around, and see what the intended usage model here
0:50
is. So, okay. The idea is that this is for passengers. So, this is for if your
0:54
kids are in the back and you want them to, you know, sit down and shut up and
0:59
you're trying to drive. So, you put this on the seat,
1:05
the front seat, and then it hangs off the back and then they watch videos on
1:08
the on the iPad. So, there's a few different straps on here. So, there's
1:12
these these ones, which are in kind of a cross pattern here. There's this guy,
1:17
which is uh an elastic one. Oh, these are there's a couple paper clips in
1:22
there holding this together. Oh, okay. So, here this gives me a Oh, okay. Okay.
1:26
This gives me a clearer idea of how it works. Look at all these paper clips.
1:30
Sheesh. Okay. And then there's these guys right here. So, it looks like this
1:34
sort of goes around the seat and then this goes uh you have your headrest
1:40
um pegs that go through these too. You know, we're going to have to install
1:43
this in order to have any idea how it works. Okay. And you know what? I don't
1:48
think this is intended for use with an additional case. So, I'm going to go
1:52
ahead and see what happens when I put
1:55
the iPad in here. So, I guess the idea is you take your iPad, you throw it in
1:59
here, and then you go like this. And in
2:03
theory, you watch a video. So, why don't we fire up our video and see? Okay.
2:08
Quantum of solace. Sure, why not? Okay.
2:12
And play.
2:16
Okay. Okay, why don't we go install this in a car and see what we think of it at that point. Okay, guys. So, I'm trying
2:21
to figure this out. I'm in my Super Civic right now. So, I took out these
2:25
two straps here. Then I think you just take the whole thing. And haha, that's
2:29
how it actually works. So, this cross strap goes on the headrest. These guys
2:34
go here. And then these two straps,
2:38
we can lift that up. Come around the bottom. And oh, I didn't have to take
2:42
those out all the way. But what you do is you just run those through on the
2:46
other side. I'm just going to do one of them because this is just for
2:49
demonstrative purposes and since you guys probably can't really see what I'm
2:53
doing anyway. H yes you can. Okay. So then you bring that back around the
2:56
front and there's velcro right there. So uh you know what? Here. Hand me the
3:00
camera and I'm just going to show you guys what it looks like once it's
3:04
installed. So there's the headrest. So, I know the
3:08
video quality is uh probably not that good in here cuz it's really really
3:11
dark, but uh there. So, I go ahead and I'm sitting in the back seat. So, this
3:16
gives you a pretty good idea of what I see. Play my video. I'd say it's not
3:20
perfect due to the fact that um this strap covers up like my progress bar as
3:26
well as some of the movie. But, uh I mean, it's very usable. Sorry, my Wi-Fi
3:31
is not very good down here, so I'm not having too much luck with my video
3:34
streaming. But uh if I wanted to go ahead and play something like Fruit
3:37
Ninja, then I should I should be able to do that pretty easily and I can sit very
3:42
comfortably and operate the uh the iPad
3:45
like this. Here we go. There we are.
3:48
Yeah, looks like that kind of works. Neaty keen. So, thank you for checking
3:53
out my unboxing of the Snug Headrest case for the iPad 2. My suspicion is
3:58
this might actually work for other tablets as well cuz it's uh the fitting
4:01
is pretty generic. So, uh
4:05
yeah.
