In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the improved usability and security provided by a case with a strap for their phone. They explain how the case transforms their use of the phone by offering a better grip and preventing accidental screen touches, which were common when handling the phone without the case. The case includes small adhesive strips that keep it attached securely but are not too difficult to remove, offering some level of protection but not comprehensive coverage. The speaker advises adding a screen protector for extra security. They note the drawback that the strap prevents the phone from sitting flat on a tabletop, making it less stable when placed down, especially if the user frequently puts it on and off.

In this segment, the reviewer discusses a specific phone case, praising its functionality and durability, which makes it feasible to use the phone as a primary device without worrying about damage. The case has a hand strap, a standout feature for the reviewer. The segment also mentions another case designed for the S Pen, which lacks the hand strap but provides a slot for the pen. The reviewer then evaluates a Spigen case, noting its higher cost and the inclusion of an adhesive pad for secure fitment. While the case offers good edge and camera protection, it is awkward to hold when closed and does not sit flat on the table, leading to some dissatisfaction despite its minimalistic design.

In this part of the video, the presenter reviews the Unicorn Beetle case, emphasizing its robust protection ideal for users who are frequently in rugged environments or prone to dropping their phones. The case includes a built-in screen protector for the cover screen, though not for the inner screen. It features a rugged look, extensive protection around the phone, and a kickstand for viewing in landscape mode. Additionally, it comes with a belt clip that can snap the phone in face-in or face-out for easy access while on the job.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses two phone cases, emphasizing their strengths and weaknesses. The first case offers exceptional protection and includes features like a belt clip, making it ideal for users prone to phone damage. The second case, from Humix, is praised for its thin fit and smoky finish that reveals part of the phone’s back. It includes a cover screen and a thoughtful design that carves out space for easier thumb access. However, the speaker notes that the Humix case, while offering basic protection, lacks additional functionality and has a flimsy edge that may snap with frequent use. The segment concludes with a mention of upcoming reviews of cases from VRS Design and Taurus.

In this segment, the presenter demonstrates assembling a phone case that provides hinge protection but adds noticeable bulk to the device. They describe the initial difficulty encountered when trying to snap the phone into place and the inclusion of a magnetic cover for the hinge. Despite its protective function, the hinge cover seems fragile and is awkwardly positioned when opening the phone. The presenter notes that part of the case does not stay on well without using the included adhesive strips, which they initially avoided using. They appreciate some design elements like the cutout for the thumbprint but ultimately find the case cumbersome and less secure.

In this segment of the video, the reviewer discusses their opinions on various phone cases, specifically highlighting their critiques and preferences. They express dissatisfaction with a particular case from VRS Design for the Galaxy Fold, noting it does not offer the desired protection.

However, the reviewer finds the S Pen slot’s placement challenging for fingerprint access and holding comfort. They contemplate preferring an S Pen holder on the back for better grip.
