love the stainless steel and carbon fiber look š
One of my favourite new toys isn’t one I received or bought for review — it’s a combo of two items I was previously given for review: the GorillaTube and the Shift Rivet Clip. I previously wrote that I was looking for a low-profile belt holster, and I think this little combo (stuck together with the Rivet’s M3 adhesive) might just be the ticket. The M3 sticker is actually so strong that I can pull the Gorilla and Shift clip off of my belt without ripping the adhesive. I may still add the super glue to the back to really seal the deal, but the Rivet Clip is stuck so well in place I may never have to.
The GorillaTube is literally just a carbon fiber tube with a thick flap to release the iPhone after a good tug. I’m happy with how tight the fit is, since I can literally hold the case upside down without fear of the iPhone falling out (although shaking it probably wouldn’t be a good idea). I can take the iPhone out of the device with one hand and the strap, or by just tucking my fingers under the tube and pushing the iPhone up.
Inserting the iPhone is a little trickier since the GorillaTube isn’t exactly soft around the edges, but I liken it to the shortest scabbard for the lamest, dullest, most plastic sword in history — but whatever, I still feel like a knight!
I’m very happy with this setup so far: my earphones are out of the way, the holster is relatively low-profile, and it’s hard enough to shrug off minor bumps into desks (what – that never happens to you?!). This is the kind of case I’ve wanted to see for a while now, and I was lucky to have the right pieces on-hand.
Does anyone know of any other cases that might work in the place of the Gorilla Tube?
