The Omoton cases offer great quality on a budget. This is a dual-layer case offering a shock-absorbing polyurethane inner layer surrounded by a rigid polycarbonate outer shell, and it fixes the biggest “feature” of the Moto X Pure: it’s curved back!

TRANSCRIPT:
1
00:00:01,780 –> 00:00:14,920
I ordered this from Amazon
2
00:00:09,070 –> 00:00:18,070
it’s the omelet on Moto X pure case this
3
00:00:14,920 –> 00:00:22,150
is it’s like ten bucks on Amazon stuff
4
00:00:18,070 –> 00:00:25,840
like that and it promises to give you a
5
00:00:22,150 –> 00:00:30,970
flat back now if I just get blasting
6
00:00:25,840 –> 00:00:34,360
open promises to give you a flat back on
7
00:00:30,970 –> 00:00:38,350
your phone which can be useful for
8
00:00:34,360 –> 00:00:41,320
things like wireless charging okay so
9
00:00:38,350 –> 00:00:53,110
it’s in the box and then it comes in
10
00:00:41,320 –> 00:01:08,530
this kind of a plastic zipper top kind
11
00:00:53,110 –> 00:01:11,159
of bag here and when I feel hard just a
12
00:01:08,530 –> 00:01:11,159
business card
13
00:01:11,619 –> 00:01:18,009
Oh gonna come a little mock up going
14
00:01:14,619 –> 00:01:20,829
inside it’s got a nice feel to it it’s
15
00:01:18,009 –> 00:01:23,920
not it’s not super slick but it’s not
16
00:01:20,829 –> 00:01:27,670
like you know doesn’t feel like hard
17
00:01:23,920 –> 00:01:32,380
tough plastic so you know that’s or
18
00:01:27,670 –> 00:01:33,750
whatever it’s got this put the two-piece
19
00:01:32,380 –> 00:01:42,329
here
20
00:01:33,750 –> 00:01:42,329
thank you so it is a two-piece case and
21
00:01:42,450 –> 00:01:48,700
okay so you know you’ve got you’ve got
22
00:01:44,590 –> 00:01:53,560
this soft internal part and then you
23
00:01:48,700 –> 00:01:55,390
have this harder and you know it’s
24
00:01:53,560 –> 00:01:57,450
pretty rigid you know fairly rigid so
25
00:01:55,390 –> 00:02:00,039
it’s pretty you know seems like it’s a
26
00:01:57,450 –> 00:02:02,950
seems like it’s okay now you got some
27
00:02:00,039 –> 00:02:04,750
some weird sort of like I guess these
28
00:02:02,950 –> 00:02:08,979
are drip marks or something like that
29
00:02:04,750 –> 00:02:11,760
from where it was I assumed this was an
30
00:02:08,979 –> 00:02:16,720
extrusion but I’m not entirely certain
31
00:02:11,760 –> 00:02:21,459
looks like it may have been stamped into
32
00:02:16,720 –> 00:02:24,430
the shape so probably what this is and
33
00:02:21,459 –> 00:02:26,380
we’re just you know hot stamp you know
34
00:02:24,430 –> 00:02:30,370
press it into place of course it presses
35
00:02:26,380 –> 00:02:32,349
in this little lot with little branding
36
00:02:30,370 –> 00:02:35,040
knots you know which one it goes to of
37
00:02:32,349 –> 00:02:43,569
course it matches the inside of this one
38
00:02:35,040 –> 00:02:47,859
here so first things first is as we put
39
00:02:43,569 –> 00:02:50,519
this guy inside here and you know if
40
00:02:47,859 –> 00:02:50,519
it’s pretty snug
41
00:02:50,790 –> 00:02:56,400
it’s pretty stuff it is not form-fitting
42
00:02:54,120 –> 00:02:59,010
as you see I’m thinking there was going
43
00:02:56,400 –> 00:03:00,840
to be a spacer or something here but
44
00:02:59,010 –> 00:03:03,690
there’s there’s not there’s just the
45
00:03:00,840 –> 00:03:05,670
booster just a void here and I don’t
46
00:03:03,690 –> 00:03:08,240
know if I like them or not
47
00:03:05,670 –> 00:03:11,870
I will probably do something here to
48
00:03:08,240 –> 00:03:15,480
[Music]
49
00:03:11,870 –> 00:03:17,940
shore that up a little bit but there’s a
50
00:03:15,480 –> 00:03:23,340
little bit of a void there and then if
51
00:03:17,940 –> 00:03:25,260
we take that and we can snap that right
52
00:03:23,340 –> 00:03:27,720
over it
53
00:03:25,260 –> 00:03:30,000
you know the little beefier feels beep
54
00:03:27,720 –> 00:03:34,829
here now and doesn’t feel quite as bad
55
00:03:30,000 –> 00:03:36,510
right there where that point is but it’s
56
00:03:34,829 –> 00:03:40,829
definitely beefier it’s definitely
57
00:03:36,510 –> 00:03:45,450
heavier than this little guy is falling
58
00:03:40,829 –> 00:03:46,950
apart if you got buttons right here so
59
00:03:45,450 –> 00:03:50,459
you’ve got nice access to your power
60
00:03:46,950 –> 00:03:53,940
your plus and minus volume hold that
61
00:03:50,459 –> 00:03:56,099
down and that turns the screen on just
62
00:03:53,940 –> 00:03:57,630
fine it actually feels a little bit
63
00:03:56,099 –> 00:04:00,000
better than the buttons on here which
64
00:03:57,630 –> 00:04:02,280
are raised and they tended to not hit
65
00:04:00,000 –> 00:04:03,650
the button right so that feels a little
66
00:04:02,280 –> 00:04:09,209
bit better
67
00:04:03,650 –> 00:04:12,419
our button works just fine and volume
68
00:04:09,209 –> 00:04:16,070
seems to work really nicely so looks
69
00:04:12,419 –> 00:04:21,530
like we’re good at nice access to the
70
00:04:16,070 –> 00:04:24,389
power power supply port the USB port
71
00:04:21,530 –> 00:04:25,979
yeah everything seems to be good you got
72
00:04:24,389 –> 00:04:27,450
got your camera and your flash
73
00:04:25,979 –> 00:04:29,789
everything none of this is actually
74
00:04:27,450 –> 00:04:31,919
impeded by anything that’s just open
75
00:04:29,789 –> 00:04:33,120
well there’s your head from your
76
00:04:31,919 –> 00:04:36,900
headphone jack right there and that’s
77
00:04:33,120 –> 00:04:40,530
available there’s no flaps or anything
78
00:04:36,900 –> 00:04:43,200
to really deal with here the real test
79
00:04:40,530 –> 00:04:46,410
is going to come from carrying into my
80
00:04:43,200 –> 00:04:50,280
pocket and of course when it starts to
81
00:04:46,410 –> 00:04:52,520
get warmer carrying having this mounted
82
00:04:50,280 –> 00:04:55,699
in the windshield of my car
83
00:04:52,520 –> 00:05:00,319
I normally do see how well this stands
84
00:04:55,699 –> 00:05:04,360
up to heat and ultraviolet so I will
85
00:05:00,319 –> 00:05:07,569
report back on that when I get there
86
00:05:04,360 –> 00:05:07,569

TRANSCRIPT:
1
00:00:02,389 –> 00:00:07,680
okay so today we’re going to look at a
2
00:00:04,470 –> 00:00:10,110
very simple non hack that you can do
3
00:00:07,680 –> 00:00:14,340
more of more of a pro tip that you can
4
00:00:10,110 –> 00:00:17,940
do to turn a non wirelessly charging
5
00:00:14,340 –> 00:00:19,560
phone into a Qi compliant wireless
6
00:00:17,940 –> 00:00:22,289
charging phone that you can use with
7
00:00:19,560 –> 00:00:26,310
pretty much anything available market
8
00:00:22,289 –> 00:00:31,289
now I have tried this already with a
9
00:00:26,310 –> 00:00:34,980
piece of trash deal right there and of
10
00:00:31,289 –> 00:00:38,430
course it wasn’t she complained so do
11
00:00:34,980 –> 00:00:40,950
not recommend what you should do you
12
00:00:38,430 –> 00:00:44,910
should do the smart way and grab
13
00:00:40,950 –> 00:00:46,140
yourself a party grab this the case in
14
00:00:44,910 –> 00:00:49,050
the case of patriotism
15
00:00:46,140 –> 00:00:52,079
so I got the helmet on case here and you
16
00:00:49,050 –> 00:00:54,870
can see overview of that I’ll put a link
17
00:00:52,079 –> 00:00:57,180
somewhere as you can see the view of the
18
00:00:54,870 –> 00:01:00,270
case it’s a good little case that with
19
00:00:57,180 –> 00:01:04,100
no cream for a protective mouthpiece
20
00:01:00,270 –> 00:01:04,100
fishing form and then sort of a harder
21
00:01:05,810 –> 00:01:10,660
hair
22
00:01:07,560 –> 00:01:13,220
so the Carter classic partnership
23
00:01:10,660 –> 00:01:16,370
it’s nice because it steps look it
24
00:01:13,220 –> 00:01:19,700
allows the phones except last slide
25
00:01:16,370 –> 00:01:23,540
expenses which going to be imperative if
26
00:01:19,700 –> 00:01:25,190
we’re going to get a good connection and
27
00:01:23,540 –> 00:01:27,920
then I got this wireless charger on
28
00:01:25,190 –> 00:01:30,110
Amazon for in a couple bucks it’s not a
29
00:01:27,920 –> 00:01:32,870
big deal decreasing all over the place
30
00:01:30,110 –> 00:01:38,210
make sure you get one that she compliant
31
00:01:32,870 –> 00:01:44,990
as most of them are the long time most
32
00:01:38,210 –> 00:01:48,710
of them so I think this is a super
33
00:01:44,990 –> 00:01:50,540
simple not not even a real hack so we’ve
34
00:01:48,710 –> 00:01:54,470
got our little charging pad as you see
35
00:01:50,540 –> 00:01:57,320
it’s got the key icon air so you do know
36
00:01:54,470 –> 00:01:59,710
that it is Qi compliant or at least we
37
00:01:57,320 –> 00:02:01,790
hope that is Qi compliant you know but
38
00:01:59,710 –> 00:02:05,960
all we got to do is just plug this
39
00:02:01,790 –> 00:02:07,820
little guy here into BA and I’m going to
40
00:02:05,960 –> 00:02:09,950
actually put it I’m actually going to
41
00:02:07,820 –> 00:02:11,150
put the charger down here towards the
42
00:02:09,950 –> 00:02:13,430
bottom not actually going to Center it
43
00:02:11,150 –> 00:02:15,380
up on the phone on this particular model
44
00:02:13,430 –> 00:02:18,140
simply because you’re going to create
45
00:02:15,380 –> 00:02:21,350
there’s a little bit of thickness here
46
00:02:18,140 –> 00:02:24,049
with there’s a little circuit board in
47
00:02:21,350 –> 00:02:25,250
here and of course the antenna that adds
48
00:02:24,049 –> 00:02:27,350
a little bit of thickness so I’m going
49
00:02:25,250 –> 00:02:30,560
to stick it down here where the phone
50
00:02:27,350 –> 00:02:32,840
curves in just so it doesn’t create the
51
00:02:30,560 –> 00:02:34,370
bulge on the back of the phone that
52
00:02:32,840 –> 00:02:36,530
would allow that would make the phone
53
00:02:34,370 –> 00:02:40,970
sit and rock and do all the annoying
54
00:02:36,530 –> 00:02:44,180
things anyway so then so all we’re going
55
00:02:40,970 –> 00:02:48,580
to do is just place that there they’re
56
00:02:44,180 –> 00:02:48,580
going to that
57
00:02:49,140 –> 00:02:54,880
[Music]
58
00:02:50,790 –> 00:03:02,460
over them play nice and or Center down
59
00:02:54,880 –> 00:03:09,300
there on top slide enter squishy parked
60
00:03:02,460 –> 00:03:13,060
over that have an enforce lift the
61
00:03:09,300 –> 00:03:16,330
harder outer shot onto a mic back now we
62
00:03:13,060 –> 00:03:21,160
have a Moto X pure a little extra beep –
63
00:03:16,330 –> 00:03:24,550
that looks perhaps to it but it is it is
64
00:03:21,160 –> 00:03:27,190
flat on the back that’s nice it’s kind
65
00:03:24,550 –> 00:03:30,490
of nice weight – I like I like kind of
66
00:03:27,190 –> 00:03:33,100
this bp4 debuff that’s throwback to the
67
00:03:30,490 –> 00:03:36,730
old track very like – mom you know
68
00:03:33,100 –> 00:03:39,520
pulling up inside your head Zack Morris
69
00:03:36,730 –> 00:03:43,060
phone anyway so I liked a little bit of
70
00:03:39,520 –> 00:03:44,950
weight there it adds a substantial bit
71
00:03:43,060 –> 00:03:46,120
there and when I’m when I’m traveling
72
00:03:44,950 –> 00:03:48,010
when I’ve got this gun mounted it
73
00:03:46,120 –> 00:03:50,540
doesn’t shake quite so much just get a
74
00:03:48,010 –> 00:03:52,849
little more inertia to
75
00:03:50,540 –> 00:03:54,890
so that’s that and it really that is
76
00:03:52,849 –> 00:03:56,540
that is all there is to it is very
77
00:03:54,890 –> 00:03:59,780
simple hack I’ll throw it on the charger
78
00:03:56,540 –> 00:04:03,230
here so you can see what happens so here
79
00:03:59,780 –> 00:04:05,209
we have a G compliant charger that I
80
00:04:03,230 –> 00:04:07,909
picked up at IKEA me has this section
81
00:04:05,209 –> 00:04:11,900
from ten bucks on the way over there I
82
00:04:07,909 –> 00:04:14,959
don’t really care but it works we got to
83
00:04:11,900 –> 00:04:18,650
do is just stick that on there and as
84
00:04:14,959 –> 00:04:21,680
you see it’s now charging I mean that’s
85
00:04:18,650 –> 00:04:23,270
really all you got to do so if you liked
86
00:04:21,680 –> 00:04:26,120
the video and I’ll give it a thumbs up
