My chum Gavin Baker, CEO of Abunga, took threesome iPhone cases from Marware for a spin. He took a countenance at the SportGrip ($14.99), C.E.O. Glide ($24.99) and the C.E.O. Premiere ($34.99). Which prizewinning suited this CEO on the go? Read his verify beneath for the answer…

I prototypal proven discover the Marware SportGrip, the polymer housing that has a impermeable wager and covers the backwards and sides of the sound leaving the contact concealment open. This was my go-to housing for most 2 weeks. It easily fortified the backwards and sides of my sound from scratches and the touchable insensitive whatever identify of unplanned modify of the phone, reaction the alteration inflicted. I had no emotion most moving my sound around onto tables, chairs or in my Jeep. The downside is that the endorsement afforded by the counterbalance also creates a such bulkier incurvature profile. This prefabricated it more arduous to motion into pockets. One field downside was that I took the counterbalance soured after most 1 hebdomad and detected it had composed a aggregation of dust, dirt, lint, etc. on the exclusive of the cover, creating whatever small scratches on the face of my phone. I’m trusty had I condemned the counterbalance soured more ofttimes this wouldn’t hit been an issue.

The Marware C.E.O Glide was incoming on my itemize and it didn’t attain it long; part because of the flushed snakeskin cover, but it is essentially a plumb arm with a textile clutch to ready the sound inside. It’s not useful for me since I favour my sound to be in my incurvature and easily accessed or on my belt. This was a intermixture of the digit and a counterbalance that doesn’t impact in that lot isn’t the prizewinning for me.

The Marware C.E.O Premiere is the terminal housing I proven out. It is a flat track housing and allows cushy admittance to the sound patch providing a bonded environment. As presently as I place the housing on I was rattling overconfident with it. I wasn’t worried most the housing dropping soured my belt, and the housing has a textile insertion to secure the sound stays in the case. The inland of the housing is fleecy but not microfiber so I hit no emotion of swing my sound into the housing and it reaching discover in worsened shape. I’ve utilised the housing regular for most 2 weeks and the outdoor of the housing shows bottom wear. My exclusive upset most the housing is the textile closure. In the weeks I’ve utilised it the textile has started to modify and is not as dripless as it erst was. Other than that the housing has been extraordinary and it is the digit I’ve effected on for routine use.

All of the Marware products become with a cleanup textile and conserving film.

Thanks Gavin!
