Thinnest iPhone Case? CaseCrown MN Review for iPhone 5/5s

Thinnest iPhone 5/5s Case? CaseCrown MN Review!

This is my review of the CaseCrown MN iPhone 5/5s case. This is a very cheap case that you can get for only a few dollars on Amazon. This case is more like a sleeve because its main feature is how thin it is. It comes in at 0.35mm thin. It is super thin, almost literally paper thin. It really only provides protection from scratches, not drops. It’s not made to be a very protective case that protects against hard falls. This case comes in 5 different colors. I have the gray version so I’ll put it on my iPhone 5s right now to show you what it looks like.

It goes on very easily and just snaps right on the iPhone. You can see it has a transparent look to it which looks really nice on my space gray iPhone 5s. I prefer cases that have a transparent back because I like to see the back of the iPhone, and this is a really nice looking case. Again, this is an extremely slim case that only offers scratch protection. It’s not really made to be durable so this case is perfect for people who don’t want to add bulk to their iPhone and who are very careful with their iPhone. It offers minimum protection that you need for scratches to keep your iPhone looking new.

It has nice precise cutouts for the camera, lightning connector, headphone jack, volume buttons, vibrate switch, and power button. This case offers scratch protection for the sides and back but not the front. It doesn’t have lay-on-the-table protection so you can’t really lay it on the table and have protection from screen scratches. However, it does offer decent protection for the rest of the iPhone. If you’re searching for a nice looking slim case that protects against scratches but is not very rugged. You don’t want to add bulk or you’re not worried about very good protection against drops or falls, this is a pretty nice case to buy for how cheap it is. It’s only a few dollars, and you get that scratch protection to keep your iPhone looking new.

CaseCrown Bold Standby Pro iPad Mini Case Review

One of the best iPad Mini cases. Highly recommended!

This is my review of the CaseCrown Bold Standby Pro iPad Mini case. This is a premium quality case that is compatible with the iPad Mini & iPad Mini with Retina Display. This case has a nice synthetic leather exterior, and it’s actually water resistant which is pretty cool. When you first open the case up you notice it does have magnetic covers built-in where the front cover just snaps right on if you close the case. It automatically puts the iPad Mini to sleep when you close the case, and it automatically wakes it up when you open it.

The inside has a nice microfiber soft interior and feels really nice. It also has an elastic nylon band for secure grip. As you can see the case does have magnets on the back as well. So the front flap snaps right on to the back when you have it open. This case offers very good protection and is very durable. It keeps your iPad Mini secure because it has a velcro connection on the inside so it doesn’t fall out.

Some more awesome features that this case has are the viewing and typing angles. You can stand the iPad Mini up so you can view or type on it easily. The front flap slides right into the clip on the back, and it holds it in there. This allows you to keep your iPad Mini in a certain position for viewing and typing. This is great for typing long notes and watching videos.

It has cut-outs for all the connections, speakers, and buttons. I did find it slightly difficult to switch the vibrate and volume buttons because of how much protection it offers on the sides, but it’s something that you can get used to. Also I like the red color, but sometimes it can look kind of pinkish in certain lights. Overall this is a fantastic case. It’s very nice and high quality. I recommend this for any iPad Mini owner who wants a good looking case with strong protection.

Best iPhone 5s Case? Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case Review

Spigen Ultra Hybrid iPhone 5s Case Review

Is it the best iPhone 5s case?

Click here to get the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case for iPhone 5/5s

I’m on my quest to find the best iPhone 5s case, and this case might take that honor. This is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case for the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5. I got this case on Amazon for a very good deal. If you click the link above that will take you to this product page on Amazon. You can get this case for $10 with free shipping right now. It’s a very affordable case that also comes with good protection (and looks good too.) The Spigen Ultra Hybrid case fits the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5. Now let’s take a look at the case itself.

It comes in 2 colors: gray and black. They call it the hybrid because it’s a mix between a regular bumper and a full case. It has a hard clear plastic backing but also comes with good protection that you would expect from a regular full case. It also has the minimalistic feel and small form factor of a small bumper. Let’s look at the rest of the accessories that come in the box. It comes with an original authenticity serial number ticket, a small instruction sheet that reminds you to take off the plastic sheetings on the front and back of the case. It also comes with a free ultra crystal clear screen protector, which is optional. Last but not least it comes with 2 free graphic design templates that you can put on the inside of the case to add some flair and flavor to your case. You can also order more graphic design templates from Spigen or you can even make your own. So that’s a nice little customizable feature there with the Spigen case.

Now let’s put this case on my iPhone 5s and I’ll show you what it looks like and how it feels. Put in your button-side first. It snaps right on there. The case goes on very easily. On the side it has an open space for your vibrate switch so you have easy access to that. It has protection for your volume controls. On the top it has protection for your power button. On the other side it has the Spigen logo. It has the cutouts for your headphone jack, microphone, lightning connector, and speakers. On the back it has that hard clear plastic backing. The cutout for the camera gives enough room for the new True Tone flash dual LED setup that the new iPhone 5s has. The case does not affect the flash at all.

Here are the things I like most about this case. The buttons are easy to press. You don’t have to add any additional force to press the buttons through the case. It gets very tactile and responsive feedback from the buttons when you press them. It has surface protection. The case raises up just enough in the front so you can lay the phone face down on a surface without damaging the screen. It has the same feature on the back so you don’t scratch up or get any smudges on the clear plastic. Also on the outside of the bumper it’s built with air cushion technology on all four corners. It’s supposed to handle the impact of drops very well.

The case is made from thermoplastic polyurethane so it feels good in the hands. It’s sleek but not slippery and provides pretty good grip. It’s not sticky like rubber. The cutouts for the ports and buttons are very precise. The bottom is very slim so it can fit third-party accessories like docks. Overall I think this is a fantastic iPhone 5s case. It’s perfect for people who don’t want to add bulkiness to their iPhone. It’s very slim, very sleek, minimalistic, and allows the back of the iPhone to be shown through the clear plastic backing. It offers very good protection for how small it is so you can you can drop it without worrying. It handles small to medium drops very well. You probably don’t want this if you’re going to be dropping it a lot from long distances, but for most people this will provide enough protection to keep your iPhone 5s or iPhone 5 safe. I hope you enjoyed my review over the Spigen Ultra Hybrid iPhone 5s case!

Alright I may have found the perfect stand for my iPhone. This is the Case Star aluminum desktop stand. This is going to be a short video review over it. This is a nice sturdy stand, and it’s very affordable. I got it for $10 on Amazon with free shipping. So if you want to get this stand click the link in the video description. This is a very nice stand. It’s made out of pure aluminum. It has rubber feet as you can see so it doesn’t slide. I wanted to make sure I got a very well made stand that wouldn’t tip over or move when I used my device. I not only wanted a dock, but I wanted to be able to have a stand that I can use my device and press the physical buttons and the screen while the device was sitting in the stand. This one does a great job at that.

What I really like about this stand is that it doesn’t tip over. It actually comes in more colors than black. Amazon had silver and blue editions as well. There are probably more. As you can see from the video when I touch the screen the stand does not move. It remains stationary, which was a big plus for me. That’s why I bought this one, and I wanted to show you that this stand does not move. You can press the physical buttons as well as tap the screen while it’s in the stand. It also has a hole in the bottom and a slit on the back where you can put your charger through so you can charge your device while it’s in the stand. In the video you can see my phone charging while it’s in the stand. It’s a very nice looking stand, and it seems pretty durable. A device can sit in portrait view as well as landscape. It not only holds my iPhone, but it actually holds my iPad Mini very well too. Plus I can actually use my iPad while it’s sitting in the stand so that’s awesome. It doesn’t move when the iPad is in there. It holds up very well, and it doesn’t rock or tip over and the iPad does not fall.

Overall I’ll give this stand a thumbs up. It looks nice, and I can see it holding up strongly over a long period of time. So again if you want to pick this up the link will be in the video description. You can get it on Amazon for a very affordable price. It’s a super good deal if you’re looking for a nice stand for your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.
