Welcome to JDTechTV, where I try before you buy.
If you haven't been here before
on this channel I put out weekly reviews
on tech that you need.  Do if you're new

In this week's video I'm going to
be talking about my new favorite cell
phone case and that's the Evo Wallet
made by Tech21.
Let's get into the review.
The Evo wallet case is obviously a wallet
style case with a folio front designed to
protect the front face of your phone
when closed
It's made from a TPU polycarbonate as
well as Tech21's  version of a flex shock
material. Now what I think sets this phone
case apart from other wallet phone cases
out of the market is on the inside of
the folio here you have an additional
flap which is magnetic on the top strips
and bottom strips here, it will reveal
two slots on the inside to hold cards.
Now normally in other wallet cases if you
have a slot it will barely hold one
credit card but in this one it was very
easy to get two cards in each slot.
When you have the cards on the inside you can
just close it, it's magnetic, and on the
backside there's nothing there so you
won't have to worry about your card
scratching up the front face of your
cell phone when it's closed.
Additionally, its most unique feature is
this little section right here. So all you have
to do is you just pinch in these two
markers here and this will slide right
out when you don't want to have the
wallet portion of it and there's an
extra piece that comes with that will
just slide right into that slot. And now
you can use it as a regular case.
Now on the front side of the folio flap there's a small
cut out for the ear speaker that allows
you to listen to phone calls even when
the folio flap is closed. On the side you
have two little buttons for the volume
rockers as well as when you open the
folio there are the two volume rockers
there which actually have some really
nice tactile feedback. On the opposite
side there is a power button as well as
on the bottom there is a three sections
that allow you to have the lightning
port connection and space for the two
speakers.
The folio flap is secured close with a
plastic clasp, that just all you have to
do is just push in and it stays secure.
Which brings me to the only downside
that I have with this case. When its
flipped over and you want to keep it
open
what I really would have wish is that
they had a magnetic clasp here instead
because you can see on the outside of
this clasp
there is no way to secure it and keep it
open. If they put a little magnetic clasp
there, I feel like that would have been a
simple solution to securely lock the
folio open. Now if you carry your phone
in a purse this next section shouldn't
really affect you one way or the other.
But if you're like me and you carry your
phone in your pocket either sometimes
I'll carry to my side pocket sometimes
they'll carry in my back pocket.
Either way something that I look for in
a case is how easy it is going to slide
in and out of my pocket. I don't want it to
just get caught in my pocket but I also
don't want it to slide in and out so
easily that it's just super slippery and
when I do slide it out of my pocket, it just
falls out of my hands.
So these two materials combined it will
slide in and out of your pocket very
easily without you feeling like you're
going to lose your grip on it.
Now this one specifically is for an iPhone 7 plus,
but Tech21 does offer this case in an
iPhone 7, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6s.
I'll place all of those links down in the
description below so it makes it easy
for you to find this case for your
specific phone.
Lastly Tech21 claims that there is a
3 meter drop protection on this
which is 9.9 feet if you
don't quite know the conversion and
that's pretty much on par with a lot of
the other high price brands and
well-known brands like otterbox which
are designed specifically to help you
keep your phone safe for things like
accidental drops. Now I've had my phone
in this thing for about a week and a
half and I've dropped a couple times
just because that's what I do I'm pretty
close to do with my phone unfortunately
but it's held up pretty well and there
hasn't really been any like things are
scratches on this or anything my phone
has been fine so I could feel really
secure having my phone in this and the
fact that is JD drop proof is a pretty
big thumbs up in my book. I mean
overall I'm pretty impressed with this
case the Evo Wallet offers a lot of
different features that other wallet
cases just don't have.
A lot of times they tend to be pretty
bulky and as you can see this one is pretty
thin so that's just another reason why I
really like this case and why I highly
recommend it. If you're looking for a way
to kind of lighten the load in your
pockets or in your purse when you're
carrying around things for day-to-day
for a wallet and for your phone the Evo
Wallet is the way to go.
Well that's it for another review on
JDTechTV and for no other reason if you
like Star Wars give the video a thumbs
up and make sure to hit the subscribe
button so you don't miss out on any of
my new videos that I post weekly about
detect that you need.
Thanks again for watching see you guys
next week. I mean it says 3 meters
of drop protection. So do you want to
test it? Really?! All right! Oh God, this is terrifying.
Okay, all right, ready? One. Two. Three.
Whew! All right. Did pretty good.
