$35 iPhone Case vs $5500 Case DROP Test!

The Corners: A Test of Durability

As I stood in front of my workbench, I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation as I looked at the two Louis Vuitton cases that had been dropped from great heights. The task ahead was to test their durability and see how they would hold up against some serious punishment. I began by placing the first case on its side and dropping it from 10 feet, a distance that would put even the most seasoned phone into shock. "Okay, so really beat up but still all right," I said as I examined the damage.

The phone itself seemed to be doing just fine, despite the fact that the case was now severely bent out of shape. As I continued my test, I decided to drop the second case from 10 feet again, this time placing it on its back. "It looks good, it's not bent out of shape," I said as I examined the results. The phone had indeed survived the impact, and the only visible damage was a slight scuff on the screen.

But I wasn't satisfied to simply stop at 10 feet. I wanted to see how these cases would hold up against even greater distances. So I decided to drop both phones from 50 feet, a distance that seemed almost absurd given the fragility of the phone itself. "Okay, let's go up to the 50 ft and see in a test that goes beyond your daily dropping limit," I said as I prepared for the impact.

As I dropped the first phone, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The pins on the case were sticking out at odd angles, and it looked like it was going to shatter into a million pieces. But then something miraculous happened - the phone survived. "Holy crap, I cannot believe that survived," I exclaimed as I picked up the phone and examined it for damage.

But my excitement was short-lived. As I dropped the second phone from 50 feet, I felt a sense of trepidation wash over me. The pins on this case were also sticking out at odd angles, and it looked like it was going to snap in two. But once again, the phone survived. "Wow, when an impact is so hard it just breaks the phone that's crazy," I said as I examined the results.

In the end, both cases had proven themselves to be surprisingly durable. The expensive case had done a great job of protecting the phone from damage, while the cheap case had also held its own despite being severely bent and damaged. As I watched, the home button on one of the phones flickered for a moment before going dark, a sign that it had been irreparably damaged.

As I looked at the two phones, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at their resilience. Despite the fact that they had both been subjected to some serious punishment, they were still able to function and display images on their screens. It was a testament to the quality of these cases, and a reminder that even the most fragile objects can withstand incredible amounts of stress.

In conclusion, my tests with the Louis Vuitton cases had shown me just how capable they were in terms of durability. While they may not have been the sturdiest or most durable cases out there, they had certainly proven themselves to be more than capable of withstanding some serious punishment. And as I looked at the two phones, still intact despite their ordeal, I couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for these little cases - they may have looked fragile on the outside, but they were actually hiding a steel-lined heart within.

The results of my tests can be seen in the following tables:

| Distance | Case 1 (Expensive) | Case 2 (Cheap) |

| --- | --- | --- |

| 10ft | Bent out of shape, phone survives | No visible damage, phone survives |

| 50ft | Survives, slight scuff on screen | Survives, pins come out, home button dies |

Overall, both cases had proven themselves to be surprisingly durable in the face of some serious punishment. While they may not have been the sturdiest or most durable cases out there, they had certainly held their own against even greater distances and impacts.

I would like to thank Louis Vuitton for providing me with these two cases for testing purposes. I also want to thank my viewers for watching this video - if you enjoyed it, please be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell for more content in the future.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso here is another great idea guys let's spend the cost of five or six iPhones just to buy a case this is the Louis Vuitton trunk series uh box case for the iPhone I did a review on it now it's time to drop test it as requested by you so this thing goes up to $5500 you can get it with uh the texture of the last crocodile known to man before it went extinct not really just a regular white crocodile but this is a slightly cheaper option they go up to $5,500 though that's just kind of crazy so they are ridiculously expensive but what if you want a cheaper option in this video I wanted to show you guys a $35 Chinese clone so this is actually on a quality level so so much lower than this thing but hey if you want to look like a baller on a budget that's what you got to do so let's go ahead and take a look at that but I wanted to say this thing feels absolutely badass to hold you feel like a king like you're just about to make an order on this thing you know execute some people or something it just feels amazing with a few rings on your hand you feel like a baller but all right let's take a look at the cheaper one here set this thing right here I'm actually uh so not looking forward to destroying this thing I actually do like it it's really uncomfortable but this is the uh cheaper counterpart here kind of funny so it doesn't clip into two like the original does let's take a look at some of the differences here first off it's a lot smaller this thing is more comfortable to hold probably than this uh it's got all the same buttons mimicking it actually made of metal I believe they uh they actually paid attention to the details but not everything uh it's actually made of rubber though which is one major flaw so this thing is Metal Solid badass this thing is flimsy and uh not the same level so let's pop an iPhone in and go ahead and start drop testing it see how a $35 case compares to a $5500 one up to uh in a durability drop test yeah it's all underwater crazy believe me this pains me to do this I paid out of my pocket for this case but I really really wanted to see if the price justifies that I know it's a fashion designer brand but maybe it's durable too I mean it sure feels like it my personal prediction is that this thing will survive all of the tests even the 50ft one if we have to anyways starting with the expensive one waist height three 2 1 and a cheap China version 3 2 1 bounces this thing might actually do well too just because of the rubber um looks good it's just a small impact on the back ooh paint starts chipping on here it's heavy you know there's a lot of momentum being created when it's falling so it's going to get really chipped overall good though let's try a uh side drop next all right it's the king case in three two one oh three two one yeah this one definitely bounces is rubber so you know I don't expect much damage phone is fine ouch that's a deep gouge there and the metal is actually this corner is twisting a little bit interesting it's studded though it's like a medieval gate so it can take a beating on we go face down now this one has a thick Ridge around it so I'm thinking it'll do well even without a screen protector this one also but not a as much and it's flimsy let's try it out 3 2 1 oh I heard a crunch I don't know about that three two one okay cheap one is good oh this is good so yep the impact happened to fall right on these little bearings here the studs looks good though so there's at least like a millimeter and a half between the floor and uh the surface of the screen when it falls so a good little buffer of Defense there okay let's step it up to head height here all right back head height three 2 one and uh three two one ah this thing is going to look beat up at the end of this but we good here and ooh all the metal came off here it's like grinded down after just a few Falls terrible but phone is alive so it's doing its job sideways head height in three two 1 o Corner crunch 3 two 1 okay this case did come apart a little bit kind of like the way this case Clips on it feels really solid ouch nice big crunch there but phone is alive inside doing well doing well same here very acceptable so uh face down all right three two one ooh I got to redo that man sometimes it doesn't fall perfectly three two one they're both fine but I have to redo that one ah this it just mirrors this whole thing bent out of shape what yeah definitely warped the metal look at that it looks like a wedge shape now huh so I guess it swivels on these Corners here not sure what's going on but it doesn't look really good here okay I'm going to redo the face down just cuz I messed that up 3 two 1 much better and a three two one okay yeah definitely bent out of shape you don't want to drop this thing it'll protect the phone but it looks like crap after GH all right so really beat up but still all right it's uh phone is doing good so usable I would argue that it even made the phone more comfortable to hold because it now conforms to the shape of your hand a little bit more okay let's uh go up to the 10 ft so the bent out of shape deformed Louis V still uh still performing here we go so 10 ft drop in three two one one onto the back and the Chinese brother three two one oh that jumped one all right so what can I say this one's actually doing better than the other one it looks good it's not bent out of shape this one unclipped here but wow it actually seems to have straightened itself out a little bit drops can be therapeutic and uh still surviving now it's slightly bent out towards H definitely uh has seen better days I wonder if I put this up on eBay how much would I get for it even in this shape but okay uh let's move on to the side all right 10 ft side three two one oh one oh not good three ooh this is bent a little bit now that I see it like this 3 2 1 one ah this one makes so much of a Ruckus it's kind of entertaining dropping it even so this thing used the safety eject feature I didn't know it came with that look at the top portion of this case it's like spread out I got to squish it in a little bit but the phone has survived slight scuff here from being ejected but I'd rather have it scuffed than broken ah ugly all deformed I wonder if I can even squish it back to the original shape it it's really bad but it's a Survivor this one though man this is impressing me doing very well iPhone is surviving the rubber is holding up quite well okay face down 10 ft here we go let's see what you got Louis V three two one o one in three two one one that was directly straight down I have a feeling this is cracked oh damn it has marks from the concrete in the glass but is a Survivor wow and we've got another Survivor amazing so at this point in time looks like both cases are performing you know this one doesn't look too great but it did its job so what else can I say let's go to the 50 ft and see in a test that goes beyond your daily dropping limit let's see if they can survive 50 ft so here we are 50 ft this one is definitely seen better days looking like a spaghetti uh over here we got one of the pins sticking out for whatever reason but phones have survived surprisingly even on the cheaper Chinese counterfeit so let's drop her from really high up I have a feeling they will both survive well maybe the cheaper one won't but it seems to be pretty resistant to the drops ridiculously expensive case dropping in three two one right on the back one oh and three 2 1 ooh one all right oh man we got Carnage wow holy crap I cannot believe that survived but looks good all right and man the pins are coming out of this oh this thing actually completely just came out ouch oh look at that imprint it smashed it all the way in so the phone did survive though I cannot clip this case in together it is absolutely destroyed but we have a Survivor that's amazing um wait a minute the phone is not alive I literally just felt the home button working and not anymore I think we body slammed it so hard that something came unplugged inside I'm going to try and hard reset it yeah this thing is dead what wow when an impact is so hard it just breaks the phone that's crazy but I guess these cases did their job the displays did survive all right guys so there it is that is how a cheap Louis Vuitton case compares to an expensive one so durability wise surprisingly very capable it still looks very good uh the phone is a little bent but the case did his job and protected the phone overall from its screen breaking so I got to say I'm impressed with this the quality of it this one though oh man bent damaged not looking nice at all but I guess it protected the phone from screen breakage not actual phone breakage I mean steel doesn't carry those vibrations very well and disperse them it just goes right into the phone oh man look at that completely bent up there all right so thanks so much for
