The Pure Gear Fab Folio: A Unique Case Design with a Magnetic Clasp

As I began to review this case, my mind was at the moment but I got to say that it's very nice and I just like how it looks overall. This is the first impression I have of the case, and it's definitely an interesting design. With its unique magnetic clasp, the case is designed to keep the screen secure when not in use.

The magnetic clamp is a standout feature of this case, with a little flap covering the screen that prevents it from moving around. Boom, the clamp works great, and I can promise you that it won't mess with your iPhone. The clamp is definitely effective at keeping the screen in place, and I appreciate the attention to detail that went into its design.

Another unique feature of this case is the fact that it comes with a folio-style cover that holds a couple of cards. For this review's purpose, I used a $50 Amazon gift card which I still need to give away. Boom, shut the case and you're on your way. The folio cover does indeed slip in and out smoothly, and it's a nice touch to have something to hold my credit cards or gift cards.

However, I'm not a huge fan of the idea of having my credit cards and phone all in one place. Maybe you are, but for me personally, it's just not something that's big with me. If I lose my phone and my credit cards in one shot, then yeah, that's pretty much not cool. But if you do plan on using this with something less important than credit cards, such as maybe gift cards, then perhaps that could work just as well.

Of course, like all cases out there, you do have access to ports and buttons, such as the lock switch, volume buttons, the lightning port on the bottom, speaker microphone 3.5mm, sleep wake button on the top, and both cameras. These features are definitely convenient, especially when it comes to taking photos or videos.

One of the coolest features of this case is its built-in kickstand. To activate it, you just open up the case, push your phone forward, and there you go – it's now a kickstand! The magnetic latch does go backwards in case you want to just put it back there and doesn't get in the way.

Now, let's talk about some of the cons of this case. Thankfully, there are only two, but they're still worth mentioning. The first con is that when this case is closed, you do unfortunately have limited access to features on your phone. This should come as common sense – the case is covering the screen, so you don't have access to it. But for me personally, I prefer my screen to always be exposed, and if you're buying this case, you should know what you're getting yourself into.

The second con I got to say using this phone when the case is open does feel awkward at times, especially when trying to type. When opening up the case like so to snap the magnetic latch backwards, it just doesn't feel right because it's not flush with your hand and you're kind of typing at an angle even though you're holding the phone yourself.

The final verdict is that the Fab Folio does sell for $29 available in both denim and oatmeal – unfortunately, no oatmeal flavor version is edible. It's worth it if you're looking for something unique and you like this whole cover-the-case thing with a magnetic latch and want something to hold your credit cards or gift cards. However, for me personally, I'm just not a fan of this case design really that much at all. That's why I chose to review it because I know there are people out there who do prefer this style of case.

In conclusion, the Pure Gear Fab Folio is definitely an interesting and unique case design. While it may not be for everyone, especially those who like their screen always exposed, it's still worth considering if you're looking for something different. And who knows – it could make a great Christmas gift for someone who's looking for this style of case. Thank you to Pure Gear for making this review possible, and thanks to all the guys out there for watching.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys are you David def Frank here from gearpur gear fat folio case for the iPhone 5s as well as the iPhone 5 now snapping it in let's begin the review all right so I am very long overdue with this review guys and I apologize I've just been so busy with all the Christmas stuff going on but I found some time to get this done real quick so let's jump right into it pro number one is the UN Pro in a very crowded market now I got to say there are hundreds upon hundreds of iPhone cases left and right but pure gear was nice enough to go with a unique approach whereas they're going with the whole cover the screen magnetic latch built-in kick stand it's overall a pretty cool and unique product and next up I got to give props of pure gear again for going with a unique material yes this is indeed denim also known as jeans material as I called it in my boxing video the word denim which is kind of skipping my mind at the moment but I got to say this is very nice and I just like how it looks overall next up is the magnetic clamp because with this little flap covering the screen obviously you don't want it moving around like this so Boom the clamp works great and no this magnetic clamp will not mess with your iPhone I can promise you that right now all right so another unique feature about this case is the fact that yes the Fab folio hence the whole folio thing pu goes is going with it does indeed hold a couple cards and for this video's purpose I will use this $50 Amazon gift card which I still have to give away and boom as you can see it slips in boom shut the case and you are on your way now I got to say I'm not a huge fan of the idea of having my credit cards and my phone all in one place maybe you are but me personally it's just not something that's big with me cuz if I lose my phone and my credit cards in one shot then yeah that's pretty much not cool but if you do plan on using this with something less important than credit cards such as maybe gift cards yes gift cards are still important but they're obviously not as severe as losing a credit card then perhaps that could work just as well and of course just like all cases out there you do have access to Ports and buttons such as the lock switch your volume buttons the lightning port on the bottom speaker microphone 3 and half mm sleep wake button on the top and yes both cameras and finally wrapping out the list of Pros for the Fab folio from Pure gear this does have a built-in kicks in without having to use an external accessory which is pretty cool all right so to do this you just open up the case you push the phone forward and there you go it's now a kickstand and yes the magnetic latch does go backwards in case you want to just put it back there and it doesn't get in the way if I can get it right really David you know I practiced for the review there you go it's not easiest thing but once you get a hang of it it's not that bad a hang of it the hang of it my mind is all over the place today all right so now let's talk cons thankfully there are only two cons and the first con is you do unfortunately have limited access to Features when this case is closed now this should come as common sense I mean look the case is obviously covering the screen so you do not have access to the screen this is not rocket science so if you're buying this case you obviously know what you're getting yourself into but for me personally I prefer my screen to always be exposed it's just how I am but if you are into this form factor and in its overall case design and style then yes this definitely isn't an issue with you and now my second con I got to say using this phone when the case is open it definitely feels awkward for instance opening up the case like so you can snap the magnetic latch backwards which is definitely handy but when you're still trying to type like this it just doesn't feel right because it's not flush with your hand and you're kind of typing at an angle even though you're holding the case SL phone yourself but again buying a case with this kind of form factor and style you should know what you're getting yourself into so perhaps this is not a problem for you personally okay so the final verdict the fat folio does sell for $29 available in both Denim and oatmeal interestingly enough but no sorry to disappoint you the oatmeal flavor SL verion is not edible so is it worth it I would say yes if you're looking for something unique and you like this whole cover the case thing with with magnetic latch and you want something to hold your credit cards or gift cards then I mean yes it is worth it for you but for me personally I'm just not a fan of this case design really that much at all hey I'm just being honest but that's why I chose to review it because I know there are people out there who do prefer this style of case but for me I just prefer a simple case design like this where I have access to all of my ports and buttons right away without having to open anything in the first place there you go all right so that wraps up my review of the pure gear Fab folio as always huge thanks to Pure gear
