What's up guys, I'm Steve from Cult of Mac and earlier this year I made a video running
0:04
through my top iPhone X cases. If you've not seen it yet, I'll make sure to link it in the description down below
0:09
But by far the most popular case in that line up and the one I get asked about the most
0:13
even to this day is the Luxe Armor Classic. A $24 super sleek and minimalist case with no branding whatsoever
0:20
It's extremely light adding essentially no weight yet with a surprising amount of protection
0:24
for such a thin and light case. Well just a few days ago Luxe Armor launched a brand new collection of cases for the iPhone
0:31
X keeping the same great minimalist style but with added protection. So in this video I'm going to give you a quick hands on look at the new cases but make sure
0:39
to stick around to the end of the video as I've got 10 of these cases to give away to
0:42
you guys. So let's get started. Luxe Armor's latest line of cases are the Elite Collection that come in 4 different colours
0:51
including the Onyx Black and Opal White I have here as well as Ruby Red and Sapphire Blue
0:58
Just as with the Classic series these cases have zero branding to keep that super minimal look
1:03
The back of the cases is where you find the biggest difference to the Classic line
1:06
With the Elite Collection there's a single pane of ballistic grey tempered glass to help better protect the iPhone
1:12
The glass back looks great and at a distance it almost looks like there's no case on it
1:17
The glass on the back of the case is stronger than what you will find on the iPhone X giving
1:20
you the same high end look without risking damaging the body of your actual iPhone
1:25
In the hand the case feels pretty much invisible apart from the slight silicone lip that the
1:29
edges of the Elite case are wrapped in and I do mean a slight lip
1:32
There's enough there to help protect the screen in the event of a drop but not too much where
1:36
the phone becomes cumbersome to slide in and out of my pocket
1:39
I've not tried dropping my iPhone whilst in this case but I did accidentally drop my iPhone
1:43
X from just above waist height onto the concrete whilst using the previous Luxe Armor Classic
1:48
and despite it hitting face down there was just a slight knock on the case
1:52
It completely protected my iPhone X. I love the way the black Onyx case looks on the Space Grey iPhone X
1:58
From a distance it really does look like the phone doesn't have any case on and even close
2:02
up the only real giveaway is the lack of the Apple logo and the shiny stainless steel edges
2:08
One thing I do prefer is the buttons to be covered and thankfully with this case they are
2:12
There's enough protection there to keep them scratch free but the sides are thin enough that the buttons are still nice and tactile
2:18
On the bottom there's the usual cutouts for the lightning port and speakers. At $49 it is double the price of the classic case but I still feel that the case is priced
2:27
extremely competitively for what you're getting. It looks and feels really premium and it's something a bit different from the norm
2:33
The Luxe Armor Elite manages to maintain a similar aesthetic and add some protection
2:38
Plus it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the cost to replace the glass backing of the iPhone X which Apple would charge a ridiculous $549 for
2:46
