– I’m Andru Edwards and
you’re watching Gear Live. (upbeat music) One of the most trusted names for protecting expensive
camera gear is Pelican. Pelican is the brand trusted
most by creative professionals to protect expensive equipment, like cameras, lighting,
et cetera, when on the go, and now, that same level
of protection is available for your iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro. In this video, I give you a look at some of my personal, favorite cases that will keep your iPhone 11,
11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max safe with military grade protection.
What’s going on TechSquad? Andru Edwards here,
Editor-in-Chief of GearLive.com, and as I mentioned, in today’s video, we are taking a look
at some Pelican cases. As I said in the open, Pelican is the brand trusted
by creative professionals to protect their more expensive gear, like cinema cameras, lighting
gear, laptops, et cetera, when they’re on the go. And now, we’re getting that same level of military grade protection
on our smartphones. And in this video, we’re
talking about the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro in particular, and
the offerings that Pelican has for that series of device. So if you’re looking for the perfect case for your iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro, I’ve got seven cases to
show you here from Pelican. But before we get started,
big shout-out to Pelican for sending over all these cases and for sponsoring this video.
Now, before we get started
with the individual cases, you should know that all
Pelican cases are tested to a minimum Military Standard 810G, which means they are rated to survive military grade drop tests up to three meters or up to 10 feet while keeping your device
completely protected. And Pelican even has some cases that are three times military standard that will survive drops of
up to nine meters or 30 feet. And in fact, let’s kick off this video with one of those stronger cases, that being the Pelican Shield.
The Pelican Shield offers an
even higher level of protection for those who need it. You’ve got five protective layers that will protect against
any drops or falls, and this is one of the ones that’s rated at three times
the Military 810G Standard, which means, it will
protect you from drops up to 30 feet high. It incorporates Kevlar
brand aramid fibers as well to add to the toughness.
It’s also got easy access covers to keep your phone
protected from the elements and multiple latches to lock
and secure your phone in place. In addition, it also includes a holster with swiveling belt clip and
a kickstand for media viewing. Up next, let’s take a
look at the Voyager Clear. This is a clear case for those who like the
look of their phone enough that they don’t want a case that hides it, and I’ll include myself in that group. It’s got a raised lip that protects your iPhone
display from drops and scratches, preventing it from cracking or breaking in the event of a drop.
Next up, the Pelican Traveler. The Pelican Traveler
offers lightweight casing with enhanced grip stitching
at the edges of the device. I think this gives it a bit of a more refined and professional look, giving you additional
grip in a low-key way. The finish feels smooth as well, almost reminiscent of suede. If clean lines are your thing, then the Pelican Mogul
case might be for you. This one has a sleek look
made from flexible rubber and protective polycarbonate, giving you a double line
of defense against drops. The slim design and soft-touch finish also feel great in the hand. Up next is the Ambassador. The Pelican Ambassador
case features a clear back with dual-beveled edges. Power button is machined out
of aircraft-grade aluminum and the case itself
features an HPX material that’s 10 times more shock absorbent than standard TPU and TPE rubber.
The Pelican Rogue case is
one of my favorite designs even though I’m more of
a clear case guy myself as I said earlier. It offers the same
protection as the others but features a waffle-style casing. It’s a unique construction
that absorbs, redirects, and disperses the force of impact to shield your iPhone from damage. Up next is one of the most
unique cases of the bunch. This is Pelican’s Protector EMS Recharge. Not only is it a case that
protects your iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max, but this case also comes with a battery that will wirelessly
charge your device as well. That’s right, this case allows
you to get a wireless charge whenever you need it no
matter where you are. Protector case itself
features a sturdy design, along with a built-in magnetic plate, and the package includes
a magnetic battery pack. Whenever you need power, just attach the battery
pack to the back of the case and your phone will start charging. When you’re done, you can easily remove the
pack to reduce the bulk. To me, this is a much better solution than carrying around one of
those bulky battery cases that just stays bulky whether
you need the power or not.
The battery itself gives you
up to 40% additional power when you’re on the go, and
like all other Pelican cases, it’s also tested to
military specifications to survive multiple drops. Now, you should also know that no matter which Pelican case you buy, all cases come with a you break it, we replace it forever policy. So, if you ever do something that ends up damaging your Pelican case, Pelican will send you a new
one free of charge for life. There you have it, guys. That was your look at Pelican
cases for the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Let me know what you think of these. Have you ever dropped
your phone and broken it? Are you a case person? Are you a caseless person? Hit the comments below, I’ll meet you there
