Goldilocks和STM dux for iPad保護套–評論

iPad cases come in all shapes, sizes, colours and designs and I’m always on that elusive hunt for the perfect one that will suit my travel needs. It’s like the children’s story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” — porridge too hot, porridge too cold, porridge too runny, porridge too lumpy…but in my story, it’s an iPad case instead of porridge.

I’ve been a fan of STM Bags for a while now (see my other reviews on the STM Impulse筆記本電腦背包和 STM Grip MacBook Air機箱).

因此，當他們與我聯繫時，邀請我嘗試他們的新產品 Dux iPad超保護套，我很高興看到他們的想法。

Once Upon a Time…

I’ve had a few cases in the past for my iPad and have always looked at versions with lots of protection versus sleek designs and appearance. Hey, an iPad is one of those things that you take EVERYWHERE and there is a high chance that something this portable is going to get into trouble plus, it’s not cheap – so you got to look after it no matter where you are travelling to.

我在iPad保護套中尋找的東西：

• 防止跌落和濺出
• 不一定防水，但至少防濺
• Auto on and off when you open / close the cover (because I’m lazy)
• 觀看電影時能夠平穩站立而不會彎曲或翻倒
• 輕的
• 能夠站立在舒適的高度進行打字

iPad case too hot, iPad case too cold…

When I first bought my iPad I wanted a “Smart Cover”. A colourful, sleek, magnetic cover that looked so modern and enticing in all those advertisements. But, when I saw one in person my first thought was that it was only good for protecting the front from scratches and I didn’t think that it was going to protect my expensive new iPad if I should accidentally drop it. Also, just how does that cover stay put if magnets are the only things keeping it on? The shopping continued…

我實際購買的第一個箱子是帶有旋轉蓋的箱子，它可以使它垂直或水平地站立在不同的高度。太好了，但過了一會兒，它停了下來，倒塌了。

Next, I tried a waterproof cover with a ziplock type gussets for the beach/patio / or next to the pool. I wanted it to be sand and waterproof but the clear plastic front would stick and cling to the glass of the iPad and made it difficult to see through, not to mention the glare of the plastic. Plus, I never tested it but I suspect it wasn’t as watertight as it said it was because one day I noticed condensation inside.

然後，我買了一個平蓋，您可以將iPad滑入其中，但是安裝太恐怖了，iPad會移動並從窗口中間移出。我也必須小心這一點，因為外殼沒有填充物-它所做的就是保護它免受灰塵和划痕的影響。

每個案例都有其目的，每個案例都有其缺陷，每個案例讓我感到厭倦並不得不轉移到下一個案例。

iPad保護套的優點

• According to the website “Super protective polycarbonate and rubberized TPU bracket for even the most accident-prone among us. Survives extreme drop test at 6.6 feet or 200 cm. Tested to meet or exceed US Dept. of Defense Standard 810F/G protocols”
• 所有邊緣/側面/背面/按鈕均受保護
• 可定制的。案例的背面是透明的，因此您可以插入照片
• Little bumper feet on the back so the case isn’t sitting directly on the table surface
• 蓋子是防水的，並插入框架的邊緣，以提供良好的清潔效果
• When folded for typing it’s at a very comfortable angle compared to the other cases I’ve used
• 柔軟的內襯（不刮擦）
• 打開/關閉機蓋時自動開啟和關閉
• STM徽標上的微妙色調
• 獎勵RewardTag™– STM袋為每個dux盒提供免費的RewardTag™。一旦註冊並激活了密碼，您便會獲得免費的STM裝備，更重要的是，如果您丟失了物品，則RewardTag™網站將擁有所有信息，以便發現者可以輕鬆地將其退回並收取任何獎勵。

iPad保護套的缺點

• The case is a really tight, perfect fit and I found it difficult to put on and off. So I don’t think I’ll be changing my photo in the back of the case too often
• 可能只是我，但我發現嘗試找到最佳位置以使其正確站立時，磁性襟翼/支架需要一點時間來適應
• The on/off button takes some getting used to because when you push it, it doesn’t feel like you’ve done anything, which makes you want to push it harder
• It’s a little heavy and adds weight due to all the protective features of the case – according to the website weight is 0.73 lbs / 0.33 kg
• Only available in 3 colours: black, blue and red – so if you want hot pink you are out of luck

This falls under the “don’t try this at home folks” category…here is a very convincing video of the drop test where they drop an iPad 26 times. （喜歡）

So, how’s the porridge Goldilocks? (AKA my verdict)

案件是超級保護。我喜歡我可以在後面換一張照片，以展示我的徽標或我最近一次冒險的照片，它確實可以滿足我的所有需求，而且除了一個因素（重量）之外，還可以滿足更多需求。

So the hunt for the perfect porridge, ahem iPad case, will continue but for now, the Dux for iPad is the best one I’ve had yet.

我收到了 STM Bags Dux iPad超防護套 來自STM Bags的產品，以供審核。這與我對此項目的評論無關。一如既往，我所有的意見都是我自己的。
