Tech Review – SPORTLINK Waterproof Drop Proof Dust Proof and Snow Proof case for the iPhone 15Pro

The  SPORTLINK Waterproof Drop Proof Dust Proof and Snow Proof case for the iPhone 15Pro is a case you might want to check out if you need a new case for your phone as this has you covered in all aspects.

First up on protection is that the case is IP68 Waterproof and stops dirt and dust getting in under the skim so to speak it is also kids proof and has no effect on the screen when in use with the built in screen protector which is good to see.

I have tested in water and drop tested and no issues were found since installing the case on my phone. The case takes only a minute to install and has a special key to remove it should you want to at a later date.

The keys all work well and slightly raised and there is also gripping points on the side of the case and decent bumpers on the corners there is also the option to use a lanyard strap if you desire to do so which is not my thing.

There is a combination of TPU and PC to give an extra layer of protection which is a good option although I prefer TPU based cases only but this is fine to use and will protect your device.

The camera area is well protected to and does not interfere with taking videos or photos which is why you should ensure there is no air trapped inside the case when installing as the lens would fog up and not only that you would then see water inside if not correctly installed.

Wireless charging still works which is good to see and tested in the video review below so be sure to check it out and tell us what you think.

All ports are accessible so your music mic and charging will be affected either the closure on the rubber flap is solid and secure and i can say no water or dirt has got in since installed so you are good to go and fully protected with this case on your expensive iPhone 15Pro

Tech Review – dbrand Google Pixel 8a Grip case and Skins

dbrand is a well known case and skins company who are very reputable and have a fantastic way of putting words to things even on social media which is great in my book they say it as they see just like me and move along swiftly often leaving a bitter taste in some people’s mouths that rightly deserve it and if you do not follow them on X you are missing out.

They have kindly sent me their newest Grip case and some skins for the all new Google Pixel 8a which I was delighted to receive after some email tennis which at first I thought was a wind up!..

It was not a wind up after all and I fucking love it that they have chosen a quite colourful character from Ireland to check out what they have to offer and we will get into it now as I have said enough..

OK so presentation is great with the Black box that opens out presenting you with some facts a cloth the grip case and skins more should do this as presentation is key but some will say it is only a case, that it maybe but first impressions last.

The first thing you will notice on taking out the Grip case is just how grippy it is and as a well season case reviewer this is the grippiest case I have held and you can be sure you will not drop this one with its textured microdots then along the sides you have got grip strips adding to the gripping power.

The buttons are tactile and work really well nice and clicky with good travel and work as expected with precision each time there is also some ridges on the volume keys on the case. A feature also not seen before is a chamfered lip and crescent arc which just makes life easier using the case over others, your fingers will love it.

All the cutouts are perfect for your ports and the camera area is well protected too, there is raised ridges on the back for the skins to be applied should you wish to install, I suggest you do as it will stop your case getting scratched.

Skins for the Pixel 8a

The back of the case is smooth to the finish but this is where the skins come in to spruce the look up and with a big range of eye catching colors you are not short of choice and the range I had to pick from was great and something for everyone here.

Yes you can still charge your phone wirelessly with no issues and I tested on several wireless chargers at home and one in my car so it works do not worry.

Overall the grippiest case I have tested with super cool skins and you should get so watch the flaming video below for the hands on experience and buy one.

Tech Review – TUDIA MergeGrip case for the Google Pixel 8a

It is Google Pixel 8a time and it is time to begin checking out some cases and first up it Tudia Products and their DualShield  MergeGrip case in several colours for the all new Pixel 8a.

I actually still have one of their cases on my Pixel 8 Pro and you can see the reviews for those cases here. Nothing has changed to the structure of the dual layered cases which is fine as they are a case I can vouch for as I use them all the time and have done for some time now, being dual layered gives you optimal protection and the softer TPU which is always a favourite of mine ensures full protection all round.

You have additional grip here with a textured back and grips on the sides and there is a nice lip on the front giving your screen some protection the raised camera bar on the back is also protected really well which will stop it getting marked as it is prone to them so with your new Tudia case on deck here your phone is in safe hands.

The cases also work with wireless charging which is great meaning there is no need to remove the case to charge your phone and if like me and have wireless chargers all over the house it is a win.

Overall you can’t go wrong with these cases and as mentioned I am a long time user and can certainly with ease recommend them to people no matter what device they have. Check out the Pixel 8a first look here too and check out the video review below.

Tech Review – Noreve – Samsung leather back cover for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

The Noreve – Samsung leather back cover for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a premium case that you can customise like most of their products today giving you the option to stand out from the crowd.

Like all their phone cases we get the well presented red and black box with a drawstring bag inside which is better than most case makers out there giving you the premium experince before you even take the case out.

This particular build on my case is called Marron Delicat and it really stands out just to look at, on the inside you will see how premium the case is and then you got to the outer shell and see the opulence presented to you.

The case will give you additional grip too and has a nice texture on the sides and back giving you more sense of security, the edges might look pointed on the very back part of the case but don’t pinch your hand and the device feels comfortable to hold.

All ports are accessible here and you can easily access your keys and charging port which in some instances all charging cables do not fit you can also wireselly charge your device with this case on despite the thickness.

Check the video below for a detailed look at the latest from Noreve.

Tech Review – Tudia Merge Grip Cases With Magsafe for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Need some new cases for your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra we have the Tudia Merge Grip With Magsafe cases here which is one of the first choices we go for when we get a new device and with any new device it is best to case up be it indoors or outdoors, I do often like to go with no case on the phone but strictly indoors where still it is not totally away from harms way and of course is a subjective choice, being a Tudia case user years now these cases are one of the best out there and we check out two of their new cases today.

Both cases come with dual layers and are magsafe compatible which is excellent if you are a person like me that has and iPhone and this means all thing will just get along together for both which is ideal. There is several colours and case styles on offer which you can find linked below.

Again as expected Tudia have delivered a nice solid care which is dual layered offering the best protection front back and side with additional grip to your phone, with your device placed face or rear down all is protected and will keep your device out of harms way and not forgetting the drop protection.

There is also anti slip material on the back of the case and some gripping points on the side making it more secure be it sat on a slippery surface or if you have a habit of dropping your phone. With raised edges on the camera array and the front you will be safe and it is also advisable to get a screen protector to be extra safe as a repair will be costly regardless if you have no case on board.

The keys work a treat too which are nice and tactile and durable and should last the lifetime of the case itself even if you are a power user like me, check out the video below for more and stay tuned for more Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra case reviews soon.
