SwitchEasy Clockwork (Avant-Garde) iPhone 4/4S Case: Review

[nautbijker]

@crogmaeb24109 it's crap, not crab

[PJonathanGaming]

4:50 You've got a bit of mail...

[3koviper]

I got the switheasy eclipse and it is amazing

[NeonLunarEclipse]

I know you use iMovie... Because I use it too

[twang95]

I'm gonna probably get the blue plank one.

[cool25837005]

wanna kill it

[UTuber2310]

Awsome



[Eminicrispy]

Ordered this today! Anyone know how long it usually takes to deliver from the SwitchEasy site?

[megaton666]

I prefer the bronze version, it's much more steampunk-ish.

[crogmaeb24109]

$34.99 for a piece of crab D: that's an expensive piece of crab

[snowflakes565]

@crogmaeb24109 crab?

[crogmaeb24109]

@snowflakes565 yes crab :D

[Seergio15]

WAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTT­T:(

[Ri5004]

Switch Clock is awesome

[SuperKawaichan]

made in china hahaha

[AngelPadillaJr]

Would you recommend this case or the capsule rebel x by switch easy?

[Eminicrispy]

@AngelPadillaJr The Capsule Rebel X has to many flaws, such as the flash back, which is a real downers, because I was going to get it like you.

[AngelPadillaJr]

@Eminicrispy Thanks for replying!

[Arceus8540]

hey mike i have been wondering is the switch easy melt case cause glare?

[yash151995]

The holes on the back cover are to keep the phone cool when it heats up

[singhzking713]

@yash151995 are there holes in the iphone? dumbfuck dont act like you know shit

[yash151995]

@singhzking713 fucker I am talking about the back panel of the case and not the iphone's panel

[XxT0kY0DrfTstYlExX]

@hakrim114 anal fisting ftw...

[iHolik]

@DetroitBORG Nice case and review! By the way are you using screen protector that comes with?

[hakrim114]

Lol I think I'm sick minded.. when he said "paint job" at 3:58... If you get this.. you're probably as sick minded as I am

[YoEcko]

It's avant-garde, not avant-guard.. Anyways, good review though.

[Fender7083]

Is it flimsy?

[Seto8881]

Cool case...

[mkiitmr2]

I wish they would put some felt on the back piece. Also they need to make these like 19.99 and just planer versions.

[DetroitBORG]

@SuperZinger17 None of the Avant-Garde cases are available in red at this time...but that usually changes as they add color options.

[CrimsonStigmata]

I'm not French but it bothers me when people can't pronounce avant garde correctly. -_-"

[DimDiDima]

3:30 you changed the icons position! :D

Hate when that happens to me.

[DetroitBORG]

@DimDiDima LOL, that's what I get for trying to keep the screen on while I'm handling it.

[anniejo08WoW]

I have a question for you. Would you recommend waiting to get the new macbook pro for 2012, people are saying it is probably going to come out in March? Or would you just go ahead and get one right now? I'm just curious to hear your opinion on this, since you seem to have a lot of insight on apple products lol. I would really love to get one this Jan. But I would be able to wait if I knew I would be able to get a better computer. It would be great if you could let me know!!!! Thanks!!!!

[DetroitBORG]

@anniejo08WoW That's a tough question to answer because the MacBook line is in a state of major transition from Pro to Air. We just saw a very minor spec bump which should hold-it over until mid-next year if needed. It might be awhile before we see a new Mac Pro, longer than March. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple decides to absorb the 13" MBP into the next 13" MBA. Either way, I would be surprised if Apple redesigns the 13 MBP.

[JoePilot001]

At 4:42 Thats what she said!

[plazmatyk]

For the price, I would want this case to be made of metal. Would be more durable, have a much nicer feel, and look authentic and clean without the lines from the moulding process.

[lovewillprevail1]

I really like the incase cover I got for my iPhone 3GS.

It is a great quality case and I bought it $40 in Canada! Amazing design, fit and finish is just superb...

[juiceboxx714]

i made my own case out of tape and foil.

[DetroitBORG]

@juiceboxx714 LOL, no chewing gum?

[THEsuperjonnydude]

anything more than $10 is too much for a case...

[MsDragonRiders]

Interesting design for a case, just terrible choice of material and putting on the case looks to be a bit of work, too. Also a bit steep on price.

[SchalaKid]

Love the back design...very steampunky. ^_^ Too bad about the material choice, though.

[Latviaownzzz]

this case,sucks becouse of the a holes in the back,and the cut out for the camera,and the price is too high for this case.

[marleymops]

What is your favourite ipad 2 and iphone 4s cases thanks

[DetroitBORG]

@marleymops iPad 2, I like the SwitchEasy Coverbuddy with the Apple Smart Cover. For the iPhone I prefer the SwitchEasy Eclipse.

[marleymops]

@DetroitBORG Thanks alot.

[Sharpe340]

Awesome, detailed review but defo thumbs down for the case.

[rashadhellou]

Make a Giveaway to this;)

[superstarstarzan]

Ringke case is bether :)

[thecrazyfacility]

great video! but I don't like the case...

[Dexterham]

form over function :D

[CalenderJuiceSheena]

I love the design, to bad the case isn't great. Superb review though!

[DetroitBORG]

@CalenderJuiceSheena Thanks!

[danielgartin6993]

Cool cae dude!

[juiceboxx714]

You should do more macbook pro reviews :) pleaseeeee.

[DetroitBORG]

@juiceboxx714 LOL, How much more can I do? ;)

[ceterafan123]

Some of these cases come with headphone and dock connector protectors... great, but a camera lens protector would be awesome! ;-)

[26prahlad]

Doesn't look so interesting but it does protect the iPhone well

[JMooky97]

Awesome

[hotlatinmonkey]

Pretty nice case, but definitely not for everyday use.

[ToontownRoxGuy]

Wow. Very waste of money for just a piece of plastic!

[trentdogg88]

@MaximDBD

You think 7min is long, watch itsmemorphious do a 20min screenshield install. Hilariousness!!!

[DetroitBORG]

@trentdogg88 LOL, I don't know how I manage to make these so long but I'm so incredibly interested in the details that I didn't want to cut out too much minutiae ;) 

[Programmer7]

Very detailed review! Thanks. I don't like the design very much, but I'd prefer to use no case anyway. If I would use a case, it would be very simple and it would actually provide viable protection. This case appears as if it would scratch the phone since it allows dust inside. It's almost like buying jeans with holes in them already.

[NZappletech]

Today's "word of the video" is.... Ample! 

[DetroitBORG]

@NZappletech When I think "Ample" I think....well...nevermind.

[MaximDBD]

I have never seen a review 7 min long over a case haha, only you my man could do that. congrats

[DetroitBORG]

@MaximDBD Ha, for some reason case reviews can be incredibly long because of the details involved. I know, it sounds completely ridiculous to have a 7-min long video review on a case.

[GmStraz]

I love all of your switch easy reviews!

[DetroitBORG]

@GmStraz Thanks! You would think they would send them to me for review by now, but I still have to buy :(.

[CamiloTM1989]

i think that it's a complete waste of money you can find better cases and priceless

[Greenrules99]

No, no, and no

[pokesnorlax1]

do they make them for the iTouch?

[DetroitBORG]

@pokesnorlax1 Nope.

[henrikroxs]

not sure how these cases are Avant-Garde at all.

[Dell0304]

I don't like it. Not worth $35. more like $5.

[larrygreenberg]

Great review. Ugly case.

[DetroitBORG]

@larrygreenberg Thanks Larry!

[kockgunner]

It looks really cheap and plasticky.

[Bananas138]

Cool :D

[JMGameVideos]

Chateau ? That's what the building I live in is called. Cheateau Libertador

[slyguyaction]

Very interesting case. I agree with you that I'd be nervous with that many perforations/cutouts allowing grit and debris inside of the case and between the case and iPhone it's supposed to be "protecting" causing damage. Great looking abstract design on this case. Maybe as a 3rd or 4th case and costing $9.99 but not anything more than that. Another great review!!

[whitemsk]

why would you make a beautiful steel and glass phone an ugly piece of plastic?

[gasicus]

@DetroitBORG Have you ever tried Final Cut Pro X for Lion? If so what do you think of it before I spend $300 dollars?

[DetroitBORG]

@gasicus I own it and have used it, but I end up not needing it for the type of videos I do.

[THExR3ALxABC]

@DetroitBORG Hey, When you take the back of the case off does it scratch the glass on the iPhone? Also does the case fit in the video stand and dock adapter that come with the other Iphone 4 cases from switch easy?

Thanks!

[gasicus]

What video editor do you use? @DetroitBORG

[DetroitBORG]

@gasicus iMovie

[slyguyaction]

iMovie works well. Your HD camera shoots great video!!@DetroitBorg

[jd29858ableable]

ok

i wish that there was an ipod touch in white giveaway

[DetroitBORG]

@jd29858ableable You never know ;)

[beast109126]

53rd!

[cjx3pooh]

I can't believe this is more expensive than the Eclipse o.o

[DetroitBORG]

@cjx3pooh That's why I love the Eclipse :)

[duke91027]

Looks cool

[TechThoughts]

Looks cheap and terrible!"

[jd29858ableable]

you mean you've seen it before or is it because i gave u the link for it

[DetroitBORG]

@jd29858ableable I've seen it before.

[ketelonick92]

Yet...

[ketelonick92]

I think 35 bugs is a bit of a waste... and beside that; I don't have an iPhone

[Ethanovich11]

I was actually looking at ordering this case. I've been surfing the internet for different cases and I liked the uniqueness of this case. I was looking at the exact model and color as this. I wanted to make sure I wanted to pay the 35 for it... Im glad I didn't now because the case on video doesn't seem as nice as it was in pictures. I'll still keep it on my list because it definitely looks cool, but its nothing I'll get now. Thank you for another great review! :)

[DetroitBORG]

@Ethanovich11 Glad to have helped. It's a case I can't recommend but it is a very interesting design.

[mariokid2115]

Y U NO METAL?

[Phughy]

35 for this?

[dansterwerecool]

Ugly

[mreith95]

ugly

[AzkillerBeast2012]

We're you get your background at been trying ta look for it

[DPCB01]

I don't really like these cases.

[sonicspeedstar]

wtf?

[SirSeaKing]

a complete waste of $35 IMO

[thetechman200]

it looks cheap

[BadAssPunch]

I'm gonna translate this review

this case suxs !!

[K00L9]

@BadAssPunch I'm gonna translate this comment

to cheap to buy good cases !!

[ReviewCentralHD]

Mike,

Is the top cutout for the sleep/wake button similar to the Eclipse cutout? I wasn't too happy with it on the eclipse.

Thanks,

RCHD

[DetroitBORG]

@ReviewCentralHD Yes, very similar.

[jd29858ableable]

hey mike its me again and i got your email and i understand that there is a lot of devices or something i forgot maybe sometime you can do an unboxing of the samsung galaxy 5.0 android mp3 player

[DetroitBORG]

@jd29858ableable It's a possibility, I've been looking at it.

[appleism100]

Unique. I love Switch Easy.

[theeverything611]

Interesting, but not a good case. Are you going to do a review vid on the 4S?

[DetroitBORG]

@theeverything611 Yes, I want to review the 4S, probably in a quick video near the end of the year as part of my "Top 5 Apple products of 2011" feature.

[kkeshav74]

Ugly case but good review.

[earlbee31]

You said the case has movement !!! So I will not be picking up that case , that's my pet hate , but thank you ever so much for brining us this awesome review , I have the switcheasy capsuel rebel in white that I picked up on the back of your brilliant review of it.

[IAR440]

really eye catching case very unique

[AzureCressington]

Do you think that screen protectors are unnecessary?

[appleism100]

Yes they are. Much more than cases. @AzureCressington

[DetroitBORG]

@AzureCressington I don't care for them and I've never found a need since my front glass has never been scratched even in nasty drops.

[AzureCressington]

@DetroitBORG Thanks for the reply! :) I've had a couple of heart stopping drops too and my iPhone has remained pristine. Besides I think that anything that is capable of scratching glass won't be stopped by a thin plastic film.

[1999xaviergarcia]

kewl thanx @detritborg

[MAIzzy21]

Im not picking up that case.

[martyrization]

323 new emails. You better get crackin' on those buddy! ;D

[DetroitBORG]

@martyrization Ha, that's as low as it gets ;)

[MacMan0978]

You are doing a lot of case reviews! LOL

[DetroitBORG]

@MacMan0978 Yeah, lots of cases came out right before the holidays.

[randomrazr]

i wish they made the neo for the iphone 4. that was the best case for the 3gs

[DetroitBORG]

@randomrazr Agreed!

[MrOliver1444]

nice design but too expansive!

[TheTechMovement]

I haven't really like any of switch easys new cases, the eclipse is nice but flash back is a draw back, nice review

[DetroitBORG]

@TheTechMovement Yes, the SwtichEasy cases have never handled the flash issue well. Some are worse than others.

[BurningSofas]

Such a rad case

[pabloenis]

I'd really like to see a galaxy nexus review from you ;)

[DetroitBORG]

@pabloenis So would I...but unless it comes to AT&T or I get an unlocked GSM version from overseas, I don't forsee that happening soon.

[markybyeah]

do some ipad 2 case reviews man

[DetroitBORG]

@markybyeah Any cases you would like to see reviewed? I

[Faesalmajid]

does it fit perfectly on the 4s ? i know it says it will for both the 4/4s but what were you using ?

[OELEU]

@Faesalmajid he used an 4S

[Faesalmajid]

@OELEU thanks :)

[JMCTechReviews]

@Faesalmajid Mike is using the 4S

[DetroitBORG]

@Faesalmajid Yes, it's a universal case so it fits all versions of the iPhone 4 and 4S perfectly.

[TheiPadTwo]

Creative :)

[IdoUnboxingsAndMore]

Omg i looked at this for 30 minutes, is there a version for ipod touch 4g? Cus i really like this!

[DetroitBORG]

@IdoUnboxingsAndMore There is no version for the Touch, and I'm not sure the rounded back design of the Touch would make make this case design feasible.

[MobApple]

:D

[rockerAD96]

Not the best of cases.But still nice video Mike!

[1superalex]

Another nice case. What a good video :)

[1superalex]
