More on that in a minute, first let us tell you a bit about the finish of the cases. These magnets consequently allow you to mount your iPhone or iPad to what Nodus calls a Micro-Dock. This added feature is also found on the new Shell Case and it is this feature that has made us reconsider our relationship with cases.īoth the Access Case 2 and the Shell Case feature hidden magnets in the middle of the rear under the Nodus octopus logo. We reviewed the original Nodus Access case in October 2014 and the company has since brought out the Access Case 2 with the same idea as the original but with an added feature and an extra colour. We can't say we usually enjoy covering up some of the beautifully-designed devices we have sitting around, but we recently came across a case that helped us fall into the love camp when it comes to cases. You either love the idea of protecting your device and making it different from everyone else, or you hate the fact that you essentially have no choice but to put a case on to protect your device from the inevitability of you dropping it. Folding the folio into a stand and resting it on my lap to watch shows or play games is too perfect.(Pocket-lint) - Smartphone cases are funny things. I can't see me changing this setup for a long while. And when I remove the X from the folio, I am covered from drops. Now I have absolutely no fear of dropping my X, even if the cover opens. I think the next time I remove the X I will place it outside a little more. The bottom outer EDGE does push up against the micro suction strip. As a side note, my friend has an Apple Folio and I was closely inspecting it, and the cover is also bowed in the middle. But, to me in day to day use, pulling it out of my pocket, opening the case, laying it on my desk and holding the cover with my left hand and using the X, I don't notice the imperfection. You can see in the close up photos that the Access Case is extended. On close inspection, the front cover is slightly bowed and the back of the case on the outer side is ever so slightly extended on the corners. When I have the X flat on the table the Access Case appears to lay flat. IMO, it is close to a match made in heaven. I don't like having the X without any protection so for the heck of it, and I had them, I decided to try out the Utomic EDGEs together with the Access Case. I have a dji Osmo Mobile so when I use it I have to remove the X from the Access Case. I have a little bean bag iPhone holder, but the case beats that. Just about everyday I watch shows on my X. I especially appreciate the ability to fold it into a stand. the inside pocket is vertical, so if I place a card inside I don’t think it will touch the iPhone screen, only the soft leather pocket (call me weird but I usually never place anything in the pockets) I’m really pleased with the Access Case 3 and highly recommend it. In comparison, the Zover wallet case has magnets and the cover does stay shut, but the magnets mess with the camera. There are no magnets in the case so the X doesn’t automatically wake or sleep. It’s also really nice to feel the sides and bottom of the X when swiping. I love the ability to quickly fold the Access Case into a stand. The front cover lays flat against the screen. The leather looks, feels and smells really nice.
#Nodus access case 2 plus#
Last year my 7 Plus did slide out of my pocket with the Access 2 and it landed closed. If you drop your iPhone and the front cover opens, there is no screen protection.

The folio is slightly longer and wider than the X, so all sides are protected with the case closed. With the Access Case 2, the hold was perfect after several months of on and off use. The iPhone attaches to the folio via a strip of micro suction material. I did have an Access Case 2 for my iPhone 7 Plus. Long story short, the Nodus Access Case 3 is my favorite folio. I have several bumper cases, which I place my phone into when using the gimbal. My main desire is being able to easily remove my iPhone from the folio to use in my DJI gimbal. This year I ordered an Apple folio, Zover wallet and the Nodus Access Case 3. I usually end up with a case from Vaja Cases. I have purchased them for years from numerous companies. I also like the cover protecting the screen when in my pocket and while on my desk. I like being able to hold my phone by the cover in my left hand and use my right hand to type, etc.
