day its and the whole and here's a few things that we've had to do to the
Lunatik Taktik extreme in order to get you this review
we installed the case and spent in total for all the things that we did about
nine minutes worth I'm installing screws
into this case we did it ok rap water test which required us to
actually put a phone in this case and tossed into a bucket of water we also
talked to cross this wonderful room
to see if they would actually protect arrival from shocks and drops
and well it did 30 usage ok
abuse of all reviews
a .ca now this is our first Lunatik cases actually I think our
fourth one we've done a review for the original Taktik extreme for the iPhone 5
we've done one for the strike we've got one for the seismic
and we've also done stuff for the Lunatik touch ally paint we really like
Lunatik stuff
if you haven't figured that part out yet Lunatik cases most definitely will
protect your phone from everyday bumps and drops in and the occasion submersion
this case isn't waterproof but how is designed of
it offers a higher level and water resistance the best thing about this
case is that has a gorilla glass screen protector so using your iPhone inside
this case
is a breeze and almost a joy from a design standpoint
Lunatik did an incredible thing with this case there build quality as well as
design
up the case just makes it the nominal but it does come with a pretty hefty
price take this is a hundred twenty five dollar case and you have to ship it
outside the state
we got doing on the customs fee so this thing came up to about 150 bucks
it does I could have been a balkan way to your phone back because of how it's
designed it doesn't feel
cumbersome like a lot of the other bigger cases that we've reviewed now
based on our rating system we gave this case a score 4.1 A's
out of 5 which means that this case we rated higher the left for free which is
a fully ruggedized case
as well as the Incipio Atlas ID ideal another case has a glass screen
protector
now if you've already made up your money you want to get this case sent us a
direct message and we'll hook it 40 20 percent off discount
of a Lunatik site now we've broken this review into three categories and
there on this side we're going to talk about the design we're going to talk
about the protection as well as the functionality of this case
I'm also included time stamps in the bottle the description section below so
you can easily navigate to whatever section
you want to go out look at so let's get started
now for the design category as I said before the design of this case is
incredible
in terms of weight and bulk this is basically a silicon sandwich there's two
piece is a hard polymer plastic on the outside and they're screwed together
the polar the silken doesn't actually touching you that but
it's a very thick case and it will add about twice as much thickness to your I
thought
to add to that thickness your tie rifle is surrounded by nine millimeters a silk
or so
this is a very very big case now install the case is no easy feat
either because you that's Kors they have to install and we did fine with the
insulation at this case
it seemed a little more finicky than the previous generation a Lunatik Taktik
extremes
Lunatik does provide you with a installation to an into assembly to us
what they call an
it takes a lot effort you can a screw everything and then
because we take our phones out of cases like for all the shoes that we do it's a
big hassle for us
to us all the screws the one thing we did notice was that if you install the
to take on the corners you need to lose sensitivity
from the corner of the iPhone or you would actually but contact between the
touch screen and the gorilla glass would actually create the rain going up XO
Lunatik does include a installation video so if you do have this casing you
do have that problem I do recommend that you go check it out
now been praising the design in this case and you must be bored if it by now
but I just have to say one last thing is that everything fits so incredibly well
with this case
even after dropping it several several times the case still feels incredibly
solid
that fit is just it's possible the front in the case is this hard polymer plastic
as well as the back
so it makes it quite easy to put into europe pockets will happen if you put
this on the table there's
a rubber piece to help that from not sliding around so again Lunatiks just
figured it all out
now in terms of protection is one of the things we don't quite like about Lunatik
is that they don't tell you how far you can actually do stuff to the case
it is marketed as an ultra rugged extreme protective case but they don't
tell you they can drop it from a certain height
they don't tell you that you it's a IQ waterproof to that a certain amount
rate and so you when you look at the case you might think well they don't
tell you how far you can drop it or how much water can keep out
let me tell you that you can do a lot of stuff to despite the fact a Lunatik
doesn't tell you that you can
interval shock protection the first case that we read with rule against a brick
wall on the icon was five
for this case we tossed around in this room in the phone again is safe we also
did this to it
and damn still recording you know what let's do it one more time
ok
so yeah the full works which is pretty crazy given that we just
did that to an I for now in terms water resistance this case is very very water
resistant to it
the designer the case there's all these readers along the inside the case and so
when you screw everything together it doesn't quite create a waterproof seal
but it will keep water out
especially in an emergency some urgent we didn't know crap test which was just
putting a phone into this case and then threw into
back in water and pulling out right away and the only places that the water kinda
stirred
to go through was you know where there was actually no seals which was the cam
reports
and water did start going through some other hydrophobic meshes but again
you did if you drop in toilet saying you pull it right away
your phone is gonna be okay there is nothing in the hardware port which was
a really good thing now in terms of screen protection this
is like the mother a ball screen protectors at another piece of Gorilla
Glass it sits on top your iPhone touchscreen
the only other case that we have seen with a glass screen protector isn't a
few hours and this screen protector and Lunatik Taktik extreme
is an entire magnitude better than the one on the Incipio Atlas ID ID
the entire glass pane runs along the entire length ok the
iPhone and it's good on the inside very well and it's about a millimeter
thick now in terms of the functionality it accessing your iPhone inside this
case is also a joy because it's so huge
but you can still get to everything easily except for the touch it. sensor
we did not the case court down a bit because that but he now you're just
unlocking your iPhone like you used to be for the iPhone 5s
accessing the power button as well as appalling but just requires you to push
through the impact Russ
when the neatest things about this case is how the access to me
ringer switch on the side of the Eiffel know most other cases requires you to
flip it on the side of the case
Lunatik us figure out a way where you just kinda push this black button on the
front
and on the back at the case to access your mean ringer switch which is a
really neat design feature
for my opinion anyways accessing your headphone port is done through this
you know cooling colored aluminum plug-in I do have to note that
on the plate for the original one for this case we cannot work in 10 the drug
test
so we're using the red one right now from the old Taktik extreme that we do
have
now the type of headphones that you can install it fits the Apple standard ones
but that's about it
I do have a city had was that are just slightly bigger the plug for the apple
headphones and it does work but if you got anything larger than that
year you kinda like in the know including adapter
for you to use now in terms have listening to your iPhone inside this
case we don't have any problem with the earpiece speaker
listen to voice calls as well as listen to music from the speakers at the bottom
in the case
it doesn't disc the Lunatik Taktik issue does not distort and you vs sound coming
from the act or
and term the screen is ability it's like a naked eye for or like a lifeproof new
you don't really notice that there's another layer between your finger
and your touch can have your iPhone it is that awesome
nine-term scream do believe there is virtually no difference between how you
see things on your iPhone with or without the case
there's no additional glare and there's no additional we're reflection tapering
going affect
it is really really nice the one thing we will add is that
there seems to be some sort and type fingerprint smudge in coating on this
case which makes it so much better than the other glass screen protector
done on the Incipio Atlas ID which is like a magnet for Greece taint
but not for the TaktikLunatik Taktik extreme so again we gave this case a score 4.1
is out of 5 it is a very good
rugged case it is a bit large and it does require you to use cruise but if
you're looking for something that looks
really awesome a fright a great amount of protection do check this case so
again if you want this case soon as a direct message he will hook you up with
a 20 percent discount of Lunatiks website
