I scanned-searched these on Chinese TaoBao, and a majority of these things cost less than $1. When I posted about it on IG and tagged some random drop-ship vendors, they messaged me REAL QUICK but there was nothing for them to say.
The downside is your iPhone can only drop on a FLAT surface for it to be protected. If the surface is not FLAT, you are screwed. If you are hiking and drop it on a rock, you are screwed. Way too minimal for me.
If their target audience is people who wouldn’t use cases anyway (or use something like a peel case) then this is isn’t really a downside since you’d have that problem regardless. Compared to a normal case, yeah, but I don’t think people who buy normal cases care about this product.
This is where a screen protector added to this will help. If you have a solid screen protector, you’re set (or as much as an “essentialist” set up like this can be “set”)
Your phone almost always drops on corners, so the shock will mostly be absorbed by the time it might get in contact with an uneven spot. In an office, or on the street, seldomly an issue I imagine. Screen protector is probably a good addition
Exactly my problem with it. BUT- I have a friend who goes caseless because he just can’t handle losing the aesthetics of the phone itself. For him, if he’d use this, he would gain protection.
@Parsa Samadani Thats some impressively wrong numbers you got there :D Also measuring a product by pure material is rather insane, unless you also argue that a smarphone is around 30 euro of copper gold glass fiberglass and aluminum.
Yes, we can put a price just based on material, but at the same time charge the same amount as the already pricey Apple cases will make it less appealing for most of potential buyers.
The case doesn’t work with the battery pack, MagSafe duo, Belkin car mount, or the wallets. I wish that was mentioned in this video since I bought the case because of the video and now I’ll be returning it since it’s not compatible with any of my MagSafe accessories other than the standard circle puck charger. In all fairness on their website under the “FAQ” it says it works with the puck charger but not all MagSafe accessories.
Just ordered one of these for my iPhone. I will keep my full cases for outdoor activities, plus I get bored of the same case over and over. Great to have this option!
A case by definition is supposed to Incase an object, keeping enclosed and contained. What you have on your phone is by best an iPhone bikini, one that is too sexy for family friendly beaches lol
I‘ve always waited for something like this. Something that doesn’t take away from the original intention of the design and feel in your hand but also makes it a little less easy to slip out of your hand and use/put down on a desk. It’s the best of both worlds.
Not enough shock absorption so you will shatter the glass if you drop it. Usually with cases the shock is absorbed by the back material, not the bumps. Bumps just protect the dents. If I buy this I’ll just use the top or bottom part.
I think Quadlock is an awesome case but even more so, it’s an ecosystem that allows me to use my iPhone in various conditions, in car, on JetSki, on Bike, at home, and it adds great protection
I live in Japan and picked up something like this for my iPad mini about 7 years ago and I love it. In fact, the only reason I haven’t upgraded to the newest iPad mini is because the company who made this minimalist rubber protector hasn’t designed a new one for the newest mini yet. I’ll have to check out this company and see if they offer this design for an iPad mini. Domo arigato.
I love this guy's reviews, I'm in tech for work, Apple reseller and occasionally clients ask for suggestions, some of these products are through the mfr only and they're often small run operations so it's not easy to process bulk purchases. We can buy from Amazon but even they have limits. Still on the consumer side this is my favorite Apple UA-camr.
Couple of questions about the Arc Pulse case. 1. Can you fit the Apple MagSafe wallet on the back of the iPhone 14 Pro Max or is the bottom to thick? 2. Do you know if this interferes with wireless charging on large wireless charging pads? It seems that this design will prevent the large wireless charging pad from making contact. If these are not issues, I would definitely purchase.
Does this work with dbrand skins?🤔🤔🤔🤔 -just started watching but im sold if it works with dbrand skins. I have the marble on the sides for my IP13PM Because i despise the stainless steel mess. This plus the dbrand leather skin would actually be kinda fire😮.
I used to use the Apple leather cases but a few years ago, I thought that I'd try going with no case on my original iPhone X. I honestly don't know if I could go back to using a case again. I love how thin it is without a case, and how easily it slides in and out of my pocket.
@@billbowman8747- 👍🤩That’s fantastic. I know what you mean about the look and feel of the iPhone without a case. In my opinion you’re pretty special because it takes discipline, focus and intention to be mindful of what you’re doing when holding / using the iPhone. I WISH I could do it because the phones are beautiful and the cases cover up the beauty. 😞 I gave up on the idea years ago when I tried using my iPhone 4 without a case. 😭 Since then, I don’t even unbox a new iPhone if I don’t have a case to put on it. 😂
I care about scratches and I bought a clear case for my 11 Pro right away. My Apple case has not yellowed at all during these years and provides the protection and look I want. When you said something about pulling the phone out of your pocket, my thought was that your case would snag. Everyone can buy what they want though.
No it doesn’t work with the battery pack, MagSafe duo, Belkin car mount, or the wallets.

I’m definitely going to pair this with the Oh Snap grip Luxe. Not trying to make an ad but it’s a nice version of a pop socket with more usability and it’s thinner than your camera bump. I used to never be a fan of pop sockets since I always had a Bulky case but now that I’m trying to get my phone to be as thin as I can this case paired with the oh snap thingy will be perfect. I won’t drop it but if I do it still has some protection.
Love your channel brother, you are so smooth in front of the camera. Thanks for staying on top of the new edc items, it’s very much appreciated. I think you have one of the best channels although your set, or lack of one needs help. Not raggin’ just good helpful advice. Greetings from Southern California, this is Alan
I love the minimalist look as well, but not sure if I would take a risk. This is something I would consider if the iPhone 15 Pro comes with a titanium finish and slightly curved edges as rumored.
Buddy usually we are similar in thinking. But this thing reminds me of all the bad Body Glove stuff of the 80's and 90's. I just can't imagine loving that day to day.
This is a case I watched in an ad some years ago and wanted it so badly. I didn’t have a new enough device to get it. As soon as I upgraded my phone, I got it. I love it. Plus very few people know about it so it looks very original. For me, an office person, it protects against 95% of surfaces I stand on.
I have the phone Rebel Cases which are great. The drop protection is also awesome. I trade in my phone every year and would worry about scratches cause Appl looks for that when trading in. Thanks for sharing
This looks good - do you have a recommendation for a minimalist magnetic wallet for the iphone pro max that would complement this minimalist iphone case?
They definitely didn’t out do Apple. The Apple Silicone case or leather case are the best in quality, look, durability, aesthetic, everything. I just stick to what they make every year.
Apple Silicone case is nice the first few months, but they have a serious durability issue. My wife and I both had to replace our cases within ~5 months of daily use.
Interesting, but doesn’t protect the screen or back if it hits any sort of uneven surface such as rocks or stairs. I’m sure its great for flat surfaces but the design is flawed.
I wish this video was here when I bought this case! The fact that I took the risk to getting a case from a small company that costs 100 bucks, was scary but holy crap when I got the case and popped it on omg I fell in love with it immediately, it’s everything I’ve been looking for, I needed the minimal look but protection for certain moments (if I dropped it which I rarely do). Overall look, the case amazing, but people ask, what about the sides? And I have two responses to that 1. I’ve had this case for over 5 months now and not once did my phone break with this case (AT ALL!) and I’ve had maybe one or scary falls. Hahahaa 2. You mainly drop the phone case on a flat terrain, that mean like a concrete side walk or on the street. Which in those cases trust me it will definitely cover you! I understand people’s fear about it but in reality most of us go on with our days in the city or town with (paved) areas. Though I will say if you are in the county and your environment is rocky, then yes I’d recommend getting one that will be more heavy duty. But this case will protect you in any flat ground situations. It really does. It’s the only case where I feel as if my money is actually converted into quality, I mean think of it go to Best Buy and want a decent case it will cost you after tax like 60 bucks! Not lie I used to work at Best Buy!!! I know I’ve said quite a bit now but I’m happy that my case is tintanium grade and not some cheap plastic flipped for 5x times the cost to maximize profit 🙄 That’s all I have to say! Hahaha
Just received and installed mine. Took forever to get here and caused a moment of panic when the shipping agent emailed to say it had been delivered and left in my letterbox, but it wasn't there. 😱 They had placed it in my neighbour's letterbox. Early days, but yes Chris you are absolutely right, this is an amazing case that allows me to feel and see the full glory that is my iPhone 14 Pro Max, yet still provide some protection. And, it works with my Moft MagSafe Wallet and my Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe for MacBook - which by the way is an awesome device - so I now have what I think is a pretty good setup. 😀 Went with the brushed aluminium (silver) option, rather than black, on my Space Black iPhone, which gives a rather nice contrast. And, I have a UltraHard Glass screen protector on the front. The Arc fits perfectly with this on.
Unfortunately I missed this when it was available.. does anyone know if other later versions fits the 12 pro? Or could suggest a similar product that’s works.. thanks!
I found this video on the 2nd of March and ordered the next day. Never knew anything about Arc Pulse let alone companies making minimalist “cases” without the encased part. I had to email and send messages from their contact form on their website to find out where my order was since there was no update. But it took a week and 3 days to arrive. Loving this Arc Pulse case for my iPhone 14 Pro would be an understatement! One thing no one talks about is the grip factor. When you purchase cases or go completely caseless, since these phones have gotten bigger over the years, one thing that matters is reachability. With the minimalist form factor of this Arc case, it allows me to use my fingers to maneuver the phone in ways you normally can’t with cases or completely caseless. If you are a little skeptic about the protection of the sides or back but still want the slim factor, I would recommend ordering a dbrand skin and call it a day! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy their phone without any restrictions or bulkiness. Thanks for reading!
3 points 1. Whenever I’ve dropped my phone it’s been on a flat surface which would damage the phone with this case on 2. It’s up to $300 for 2 pieces of plastic, you could get a much better phone case for less than half of that 3. Just looks ugly imo
I like the minimalism of the Arc Pulse. I hate the $59.00 cost for less material. I reminds me of sexy ladies night wear. I also think that the manufacture should have put in a bit more protection. By this I mean surround the sides too. I can see the edges get compressed or scuffed if the iPhone happens to be inside a backpack or a ladies purse. iPhones are too expensive to be scuffed or damaged. I can see that not everyone thinks the same. Hence, not everyone does things the same way.
@dailytekk Are the two pieces metal or rubber? I ask because I'd like it to have some stick to it to help prevent the phone from sliding out of my pocket.
I’ve never opted to buy anything I hear about on UA-cam and especially IG. But this case intrigued me. I loved the minimalist design, and my purple iphone 14 pro max is so gorgeous I wanted to protect but also see it, feel it, and enjoy its thin case. I’ve had my Arc for a week, ordered it after watching your review. I love it! It’s my main, every day protection. I bought a Casetify and and Apple case as well, to use depending on the environment that I’ll be in. But nothing beats the Arc in minimal design and elegant. I only wish I could have spent the extra $$ on the chrome one. My warning for any owner of any iPhone. No matter what case you buy, if you drop it on a hard surface, chances are you’re going to break the speakers. My iPhone 13 Pro Max had to be repaired twice for just dropping it on the carpet. Even today, as my 2nd phone, the external volume is 25% of my iPhone 14 pro max. And my 13 had the Ultimate Protection Castify case. Never a stretch or a crack, but the speakers get dislodged and you suddenly have very low volume. At least the Arc doesn’t add weight or thickness to this gorgeous phone. 👍🏻
I use an aluminum bumper case with rubber inside. At first glance iPhone looks completely naked. And what I love the most the that it has small corner bumpers so camera is protected and it lays down flat on a table. Been using the same type case since iPhone X and never a crack or even a scratch
Downside is $59… I mean I’m sure there is a ton of cost with designing and building a product. But no way this is more than $19.99. Especially since most people upgrade year to year and you will have your phone for a short time.
I seen this case earlier today and it took me 15 secs looking at it and I ordered it. I hate putting cases on phones but I want just a slight get out the car drop protection. I've been using the, Apple Silicone, Pitaka Mag EZ 3& phone rebel flex which I just returned.
i love the character cases give to phones , i dont need everyone to instantly know what im using , i just hate the materials that just suck and absorb oils , matte and soft touch cases have that issue but feel great in hand ….
No it doesn’t work with the battery pack, MagSafe duo, Belkin car mount, or the wallets. I wish that was mentioned in this video since I bought the case because of the video and now I’ll be returning it since it’s not compatible with any of my MagSafe accessories other than the standard circle puck charger. In all fairness on their website under the “FAQ” it says it works with the puck charger but not all MagSafe accessories.
For anyone who's purchased this... how does it do in your back pocket? Considering how it's two separate pieces, do they slide off in a tight pocket? Difficult to pull out?
I think it’s cool but I don’t wanna se all the scratches coz sometimes i put my phone in my pocket and I forget my lighter, keys, etc, are in. Even my jeans have some zippers and metal buttons
I switched to the smartish phone case for my iPhone 15. It has finger notches, right where you want to grab your phone so you don’t drop your phone. If I use that minimalist case, my phone would be on the pavement at least once a day. I still don’t know why they can’t make a phone ergonomically correct for your hand to fit instead of flat smooth sides that slip out of your fingers! There’s no way I could use that minimal case.
For 120 one u rather get apple which i did when i had an iphone and use it without a case feels better in the hand no worries about what to do if it breaks
Genius! Looks cool. Just one thing, it doesn’t have a cover for those gigantic lenses that are just waiting to get scratched. So I got a Spigen case that covers the lenses. Makes the Iphone feel like a camera.

@@hanselmuks I was looking for the same thing. click bait I guess.
$120 for two tiny pieces of metal and rubber which cost $10 max to make, now that is a cash grab like no other
I scanned-searched these on Chinese TaoBao, and a majority of these things cost less than $1. When I posted about it on IG and tagged some random drop-ship vendors, they messaged me REAL QUICK but there was nothing for them to say.
it's shocking that Apple didn't think of it for themselves
@@zimmejoc Because some cheap things are too expensive to make.
iPhones cost $10 to make by children slaves and they sell for $1200. So, calm down

The downside is your iPhone can only drop on a FLAT surface for it to be protected. If the surface is not FLAT, you are screwed. If you are hiking and drop it on a rock, you are screwed. Way too minimal for me.
If their target audience is people who wouldn’t use cases anyway (or use something like a peel case) then this is isn’t really a downside since you’d have that problem regardless. Compared to a normal case, yeah, but I don’t think people who buy normal cases care about this product.
This is where a screen protector added to this will help. If you have a solid screen protector, you’re set (or as much as an “essentialist” set up like this can be “set”)

The case is minimalist but the price is maximalist.

Went to the website, not available for 14. Only 14 pro and pro max. That sucks
I love the minimalist look as well, but not sure if I would take a risk. This is something I would consider if the iPhone 15 Pro comes with a titanium finish and slightly curved edges as rumored.
You got that right :)
You're officially a credible source!
I wonder if a dbrand full wrap is thin enough for this to fit on top of it
That’s awesome, would a skin work if someone wants scratch protection while also being able to retain the minimalism?
I’ve tried this with their 13 version an a dbrand one. Fit is a bit tighter but works like a charm. Love it
Does anyone know if this works with the Apple MagSafe wallet for the 14 max pro?
Yeah but $59???
I agree, it should cost less than a full case considering how little materials are needed to make it.
I like it but it’s almost as much as the leather case…pass
Does anyone know if it heats up while charging? since it is aluminum
Great idea and presentation but I like the look and feel of my leather case.
I also prefer my Apple leather case. Last year I did buy the peel based on Daily Tekk video but those cases were just not up to my standards!
I’m annoyed Apple stopped making the leather case in red. They have so many ugly, boring colors now and stopped doing red. I don’t get it.
If you lay your phone flat on the table. Does it stop the wobbling when you press the screen?
Bro $59 freaking dollars!!!!!! At most $30 but would kill the competition at $25. Smh they should be helped marketing wise.

I understand people’s fear about it but in reality most of us go on with our days in the city or town with (paved) areas. Though I will say if you are in the county and your environment is rocky, then yes I’d recommend getting one that will be more heavy duty.
But this case will protect you in any flat ground situations. It really does.
It’s the only case where I feel as if my money is actually converted into quality, I mean think of it go to Best Buy and want a decent case it will cost you after tax like 60 bucks! Not lie I used to work at Best Buy!!!
I know I’ve said quite a bit now but I’m happy that my case is tintanium grade and not some cheap plastic flipped for 5x times the cost to maximize profit 🙄
That’s all I have to say! Hahaha
What if you drop it on a non flat surface?
Just received and installed mine. Took forever to get here and caused a moment of panic when the shipping agent emailed to say it had been delivered and left in my letterbox, but it wasn't there. 😱 They had placed it in my neighbour's letterbox. Early days, but yes Chris you are absolutely right, this is an amazing case that allows me to feel and see the full glory that is my iPhone 14 Pro Max, yet still provide some protection. And, it works with my Moft MagSafe Wallet and my Belkin iPhone Mount with MagSafe for MacBook - which by the way is an awesome device - so I now have what I think is a pretty good setup. 😀
Went with the brushed aluminium (silver) option, rather than black, on my Space Black iPhone, which gives a rather nice contrast. And, I have a UltraHard Glass screen protector on the front. The Arc fits perfectly with this on.
Do you have a camera Len protector on it as well. I was wondering if it fit with a camera Len protector
How well does it fit and stay in your pocket example removing it and putting it back in?
@@jay6066 It’s okay. But, you do have to be a bit more careful not to catch the edges on the material. 😏
@@jeremyverderosa9621 works just fine with lens protectors
Unfortunately I missed this when it was available.. does anyone know if other later versions fits the 12 pro? Or could suggest a similar product that’s works.. thanks!
I found this video on the 2nd of March and ordered the next day. Never knew anything about Arc Pulse let alone companies making minimalist “cases” without the encased part.
I had to email and send messages from their contact form on their website to find out where my order was since there was no update. But it took a week and 3 days to arrive.
Loving this Arc Pulse case for my iPhone 14 Pro would be an understatement! One thing no one talks about is the grip factor. When you purchase cases or go completely caseless, since these phones have gotten bigger over the years, one thing that matters is reachability. With the minimalist form factor of this Arc case, it allows me to use my fingers to maneuver the phone in ways you normally can’t with cases or completely caseless.
If you are a little skeptic about the protection of the sides or back but still want the slim factor, I would recommend ordering a dbrand skin and call it a day! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy their phone without any restrictions or bulkiness.
Thanks for reading!
3 points
1. Whenever I’ve dropped my phone it’s been on a flat surface which would damage the phone with this case on
2. It’s up to $300 for 2 pieces of plastic, you could get a much better phone case for less than half of that
3. Just looks ugly imo
I like the minimalism of the Arc Pulse. I hate the $59.00 cost for less material. I reminds me of sexy ladies night wear. I also think that the manufacture should have put in a bit more protection. By this I mean surround the sides too. I can see the edges get compressed or scuffed if the iPhone happens to be inside a backpack or a ladies purse. iPhones are too expensive to be scuffed or damaged. I can see that not everyone thinks the same. Hence, not everyone does things the same way.
@dailytekk Are the two pieces metal or rubber? I ask because I'd like it to have some stick to it to help prevent the phone from sliding out of my pocket.
Do a drop test, dropping it from 6,7, 10 ft with that case on and record it, I'm all for amazing finds as long as there's proof to back it up. 👍
I would love to see a video of that.
The second the sides hit something sticking out your screen is screwed
I’ve never opted to buy anything I hear about on UA-cam and especially IG. But this case intrigued me.
I loved the minimalist design, and my purple iphone 14 pro max is so gorgeous I wanted to protect but also see it, feel it, and enjoy its thin case.
I’ve had my Arc for a week, ordered it after watching your review. I love it! It’s my main, every day protection.
I bought a Casetify and and Apple case as well, to use depending on the environment that I’ll be in. But nothing beats the Arc in minimal design and elegant. I only wish I could have spent the extra $$ on the chrome one.
My warning for any owner of any iPhone. No matter what case you buy, if you drop it on a hard surface, chances are you’re going to break the speakers. My iPhone 13 Pro Max had to be repaired twice for just dropping it on the carpet. Even today, as my 2nd phone, the external volume is 25% of my iPhone 14 pro max. And my 13 had the Ultimate Protection Castify case. Never a stretch or a crack, but the speakers get dislodged and you suddenly have very low volume.
At least the Arc doesn’t add weight or thickness to this gorgeous phone. 👍🏻
Hey. When you ordered it, how long did it take for it to arrive? I
@@_aisolo about 8 days. 👍🏻
How would I know if I damaged my speakers from drops? Is it very obviously quieter?
I use an aluminum bumper case with rubber inside. At first glance iPhone looks completely naked. And what I love the most the that it has small corner bumpers so camera is protected and it lays down flat on a table. Been using the same type case since iPhone X and never a crack or even a scratch
Do you have a name/link to that bumper case you reference?
@@progression_decibel there’s always a different brand that makes them but for my iPhone 15 I found it on Amazon made by AOPNN
Downside is $59… I mean I’m sure there is a ton of cost with designing and building a product. But no way this is more than $19.99. Especially since most people upgrade year to year and you will have your phone for a short time.
I like the idea of having a minimal amount of the phone covered but I’m wondering if you can use a wireless charger with this case.
Can confirm, works with the round MagSafe charger designs. For those full contact charging plates, it not all work.
Chris, thank you so much for bringing this case to light. I was completely unaware of its existence. It looks really cool too. Thank you!
How does it attach? Feels like a pretty fundamental thing not to cover.
I seen this case earlier today and it took me 15 secs looking at it and I ordered it. I hate putting cases on phones but I want just a slight get out the car drop protection. I've been using the, Apple Silicone, Pitaka Mag EZ 3& phone rebel flex which I just returned.
i love the character cases give to phones , i dont need everyone to instantly know what im using , i just hate the materials that just suck and absorb oils , matte and soft touch cases have that issue but feel great in hand ….
I like it but the price is ridiculous. How can two tiny pieces of a ‘case’ be 2-3 times more expensive than most full protection cases. 😢
Cause machined metal isn’t the same as a cheap moulded piece of plastic ;)
Can a screen protector still be used with this ?
Meh.... not really doing it for me. If we're going this route, might as well go naked
I need ventilation to prevent over heat on car play during hot days, this is a good fit for my needs
Sorry but absolutely terrible design.
Will I be able to use my car's chi charger? Just curious.
Does it work with the MagSafe battery pack - just curious with the bottom piece
No it doesn’t work with the battery pack, MagSafe duo, Belkin car mount, or the wallets. I wish that was mentioned in this video since I bought the case because of the video and now I’ll be returning it since it’s not compatible with any of my MagSafe accessories other than the standard circle puck charger. In all fairness on their website under the “FAQ” it says it works with the puck charger but not all MagSafe accessories.
They advised me it’s just with the pro sized phones. Pro max models aren’t impacted apparently
@@TheKailanmoore Thanks for the info, I didn’t realize it didn’t affect the Pro Max.
For anyone who's purchased this... how does it do in your back pocket? Considering how it's two separate pieces, do they slide off in a tight pocket? Difficult to pull out?
What about scratches from keys etc ? Looks vulnerable to me
I can't hear well. Who makes this case? Please advise...Bob
so what happens when it falls on the unprotected spot?
I think it’s cool but I don’t wanna se all the scratches coz sometimes i put my phone in my pocket and I forget my lighter, keys, etc, are in. Even my jeans have some zippers and metal buttons
What about using MagSafe products? Doesn’t fit…
I switched to the smartish phone case for my iPhone 15.
It has finger notches, right where you want to grab your phone so you don’t drop your phone.
If I use that minimalist case, my phone would be on the pavement at least once a day.
I still don’t know why they can’t make a phone ergonomically correct for your hand to fit instead of flat smooth sides that slip out of your fingers!
There’s no way I could use that minimal case.
Where I can buy this cover two pieces ???
Can you advise if this case will pair well with the Apple Mag Safe wallet. I’m thinking about pairing the two.
“I’m done promoting stuff.”
So what if the side hits the edge of a stair or smth?
How did you get the calzy widget, I’ve been trying to figure this out all day on my iPad plz help.
For 120 one u rather get apple which i did when i had an iphone and use it without a case feels better in the hand no worries about what to do if it breaks
Genius! Looks cool. Just one thing, it doesn’t have a cover for those gigantic lenses that are just waiting to get scratched. So I got a Spigen case that covers the lenses. Makes the Iphone feel like a camera.
i love that case too but cant find it anywere for the normal Iphone 14
How your accessories attach to the phone now. There is bump on the bottom. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
1:54 you unintentionally made a pun lol
I’m having a very tough time trying to remove the pieces from the 14 Pro Max. Any tips? I feel like I’m going to crack the glass!
Can you pair this with a peel case?
