The classic styling of the iPhone SE means you're able to use any of the leftover iPhone
0:05
5S cases you have lying around. But if you want to show your SE often style, there are plenty of awesome new cases to keep
0:11
your 4-inch iPhone looking cooler than the other side of the pillow. Let's get started
0:17
We're all praying for wireless charging to come to the iPhone 7. But in the meantime, the dog and bone wireless charging case and pad brings all that capability
0:24
to your SE. The case consists of two main parts. The main shock absorbent rubber case itself, and a removable pad which plugs into the
0:32
Lightning port to add the wireless charging. The case does add a fair bit of bulk to the SE, especially on the chin at the bottom, but
0:38
all that extra padding means it can handle knocks and drops from up to four feet
0:42
On the back there's this honeycomb type pattern, which adds a little bit of extra grip and a splash
0:46
of colour, and comes in four different variations including red and pink
0:51
Of course, the main feature of this case is the wireless charging, and for that to work
0:54
you have a removable wireless receiver which works in conjunction to the charge. charging pad or any Chi charger. The wireless receiver also has a micro USB port so you can use
1:03
any micro USB cables you have lying around. The power buttons, mute switch and volume buttons
1:08
are all accessible But the lightning port is covered with the receiver although you can just remove this if needed Due to the larger chin at the bottom you need to use an adapter to access the headphone jack which can be a bit of a pain to carry around although you can get around it by using Bluetooth headphones
1:22
Your receiver can also be switched out with the battery, which is sold separately for an extra $50
1:27
But in return, you'll get around half a charge for your SE
1:32
If you've seen the what's on my iPhone SE video, then you would have already seen the sticky case from XVida, but it's still one of my favourite cases for the SE
1:40
It's super slim and has a nice, soft, rubberised texture, which also protects the back of the phone
1:46
And the front is also protected thanks to a lip around the edge. The case also has a soft lining inside to protect from scratching your phone when installing and removing
1:54
However, the best thing about this case is if you invest into XFEDA's magnetic ecosystem
1:59
XFEDA provide a ton of magnetic mounting systems for everything from car mounts for when you're using the phone as a sat nav
2:05
as well as the bike or stroller kit, so you can secure your phone to the handlebars when riding about
2:09
And, on top of all that, if it breaks, Exvido will exchange it for free
2:14
So what's not to love? If you're familiar with this channel, you'll already know one of my favorite brands for
2:22
tech accessories is Grovemade. I've already got a ton of their products including my monitor stand and keyboard tray
2:27
But they also got an amazing wooden and leather case for the SE Available in two different color combinations you can either pick up the maple and tan leather which is great if you have a white iPhone or the black leather and walnut case
2:38
if you like me and have a black SE. Installation is easy
2:42
Simply slide in the iPhone starting at the bottom, then use the adhesive leather back to stick on the rear
2:47
It does add a slight bulk around the edges, but not enough to make the phone awkward to hold or use
2:52
Of course, with the leather back being adhesive, you're not going to be able to take this case on and off
2:56
but once you've got it on, there's not much chance you're going to want to take it off anyway
3:01
A level of detail on this is incredible. From the activated wood power and volume buttons, all the way to the awesome corners
3:07
which is all hand sanded and oiled. It's not the best case to protect your phone in the event of a drop
3:12
so if you're fairly clumsy, one of the rubber or plastic cases will be a safe for bet
3:16
But if you want to stand up from the crowd, the Grovemade case is certain to help you do just that
3:22
Signet has always been a great brand for iPhone cases. The Aero Shield is perfect if you want great
3:26
protection without hiding the gorgeous appearance of the SE. It's made out of a combination of a hard plastic shell to protect from impact and a rubber
3:34
frame for shock absorption and to make the case easy to install or remove
3:39
The rubber edges of the case make the phone a lot grippier, and it's also super slim, meaning
3:43
the compact size of the SE isn really affected All buttons and ports are accessible with the volume buttons and power button protected under the frame of the case The case comes in three different shades of either clear blue trim or this grey trim I have on here Again the case just
3:57
have a lip on the front to protect the screen when placing it face down. But Signet also offers
4:02
a great screen protector for extra security. Last but definitely not least, is the life-proof
4:07
nude, which offers the ultimate protection for your SE. Not only is it drop-proof, but it's also
4:13
So dirtproof and waterproof. As you might not expect, the screen is completely uncovered
4:18
But maintains its waterproof status by creating a tight seal around your screen, so you've
4:22
got direct access. Although it does come with a screen protector just in case you're worried about scratching
4:26
your screen. Best of all, it's rated for up to 6.6 feet of submersion for a maximum of two hours
4:32
I know from personal experience that this case really protects your phone from a drop
4:36
It does add a little bit of bulk, but it still fits into your pocket without a problem
4:40
It's an absolutely amazing case that is a must-migh if you're out of any. Well, that's it for this video, I'll make sure to leave links to all the cases below
