**Aries Case Drop Test: Protecting Your iPhone**

The Aries case is designed to protect your iPhone in four different ways, making it a great investment for anyone looking to safeguard their device. The case has an unbending polycarbonate shell that provides impact protection, a clear back that protects the glass while still letting you appreciate your phone's design, deeply raised bezels and corners, and comes with a built-in screen protector. But how does it perform in real-world drop tests?

**Drop Test Results: Backdrop**

The first test was conducted on a smooth surface, with the iPhone 12 pro facing upwards. Unfortunately, the rear glass cracked, while the textured matte glass on the iPhone 12 pro remained fully intact. This result may be attributed to chance, as this is just a sample size of one. However, it's an interesting outcome that shows how different phones can react differently to similar drops.

**Drop Test Results: Corner**

The next test was conducted with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 pro facing downwards. The corner drop scuffed both phones, but surprisingly, neither cracked. This result is a testament to the case's ability to absorb impact and protect the phone's internal components. The stainless steel band on the iPhone 12 pro did suffer more damage than expected.

**Drop Test Results: Face**

The final test was conducted with the iPhone 12 pro facing downwards, simulating a face drop onto concrete. To everyone's surprise, the ceramic shield made a difference, and both phones survived without any cracks to the screen. The aluminum frame on the iPhone 12 and stainless steel frame on the iPhone 12 pro showed signs of damage from the impact.

**Drop Test Results: Bonus Round**

After surviving the face drop, both phones were put through additional tests, including multiple drops onto different surfaces. In a bonus round, both phones were dropped from just under 1.5 meters onto a smoother steel surface. Despite being subjected to multiple impacts, neither phone cracked or broke.

**Impact and Shock Resistance**

The Aries case's impact and shock resistance was put to the test by conducting additional drops, this time with the iPhone 12 pro facing downwards. The initial damage from the backdrop on the iPhone 12 became more pronounced, but it still managed to survive. However, when the camera was activated, cracks and shards of glass appeared, suggesting potential damage to the lens.

**Bonus Drops: A Final Test**

To further assess the case's performance, two additional drops were conducted, this time onto a concrete block for a rougher surface. Despite being dropped from greater heights, both phones still remained fully intact, proving that the Aries case is effective in protecting your iPhone even in extreme conditions.

**Conclusion**

The Aries case performed exceptionally well in our drop test series, demonstrating its ability to protect your iPhone from impact and shock. While individual results may vary, this test shows that the Aries case can provide a high level of protection for your device. We recommend purchasing this case if you're looking to safeguard your iPhone from accidental drops or other forms of impact.

**Disclaimer**

It's essential to note that this is just a sample size of one, and individual results may vary. Drops onto different surfaces or angles can result in cracks or breaks. Therefore, it's always recommended to use a protective case when carrying your iPhone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enby now we're all used to hearing apple claim that the latest version of the iphone is using the strongest glass ever but this year apple went even further claiming the iphone 12 series brings the biggest jump in durability ever to an iphone with four times better drop performance they say this is achieved through introducing nano ceramic crystals which apparently are harder than most metals into the glass on the front of the phone to make what they're calling ceramic shield on top of that because the iphone 12's new design has the front cover sit flush with the edge of the phone it's supposed to help protect it even more which only has me more excited to see what happens in this drop test let's get right into it this video is sponsored by iblazon at just 20 dollars the aries case protects your iphone in four different ways it has an unbending polycarbonate shell it has a clear back that protects the glass while still letting you appreciate your phone's design it has deeply raised bezels and corners and it comes with a built-in screen protector an effort to be 20 foot drop test certified by cnet you can find it on amazon by searching iphone 12 case by ibizan or iphone 12 mini or iphone 12 pro max case by ibizan depending on your model or by hitting that first link down below round number one backdrop in three two one after the backdrop unfortunately the iphone 12's rear glass cracks while somewhat surprisingly the textured matte glass on the iphone 12 pro still remains fully intact now neither of these phones are using the ceramic shield on the rear glass here that's only on the front glass so it's an interesting result this is just a sample size of one so the difference could just be random luck for the iphone 12 pro or bad luck for the iphone 12 depending on how you're looking at it but either way it's an impressive result at least for the iphone 12 pro in round number one round number two corner drop two one the corner drop scuffs both phones with the scuffs actually looking a bit worse on the stainless steel band of the iphone 12 pro usually it's the other way around but both phones still remain fully functional without any cracks to the glass which is good news considering the iphone 12's thinner bezels round number three face drop after the face drop ceramic shield looks like it made a difference after all both phones survive without any cracks to the screen which is what one could only hope for after a drop flat onto concrete and if you take a closer look you can actually see the aluminum frame on the iphone 12 and the stainless steel frame on the iphone 12 pro took some damage from that face drop there's some scuffing right along the edges of each which while not necessarily pretty no doubt helped protect the glass so an excellent result overall for both iphones in round number three bonus round with both phones still remaining fully functional with their front class intact we move on to the impact and shock resistance part of the test where we'll drop each phone from just under one and a half meters onto a smoother steel surface alright first drop in three two one after the first drop from higher up both phones still look good with their screens unaffected and everything seems to be working just fine so we'll keep on going five drops in and the initial damage from the backdrop on the iphone 12 has gotten worse although nothing has changed on the front the phone still remains fully functional so we'll keep on going final drop three two one a full ten drops into the bonus round and the screens on both phones seem to be completely unaffected with both phones still being able to make a phone call and the touch screens being fully responsive so an absolutely incredible result the iphone 12 pro survived that round like a champ although the standard iphone 12 did fare worse the cracks on the back of the phone obviously got worse that's kind of normal when you drop an already cracked phone repeatedly but the camera is now affected as well with cracks and shards of glass showing up on that main camera now when you look at it on the back though it doesn't seem like there's any damage to the lens but it shows up when you actually try to use the camera we tried looking at it under the microscope and we just couldn't see anything on the lens itself so i'm not sure if this is due to the rear glass shattering or if it's damaged to the lens itself but outside of that everything else on the phone is fully functional bonus bonus round so with the screens on both phones still remaining uncracked we decided to add another layer to the drop test bringing back the concrete block for a rougher surface but dropping the phone from that higher height of just under 1.5 meters and after that much harder drop the glass on both of these iphones still remain fully intact the bonus drops are onto steel so you kind of expect it to survive if it doesn't have a crack already but this drop was onto that concrete block now i do want to stress that this is just a sample size of one and this is a controlled environment if you drop one of these phones from eight different heights a different angle or onto a rough or angled surface the phones could crack glass is glass after all so i'd still put a case on it but with that said a really really impressive result anyways that is it for me in this video thank you guys for watching and as always i'll see you in the very next episode youby now we're all used to hearing apple claim that the latest version of the
