TORRAS Ostand Q3 Air for iPhone 17 Pro Case with 360 Magnetic Stand, Fit for MagSafe, Mil-Grade Drop Tested, Camera Control Button, Shockproof Phone Case Review -i don't even know where to start with this case design wise -there's giant air pockets along the top and bottom of the case -the PC back has a frosted finish that has a bit of tack to it -the edge has 2-3 types of TPU I think -this frosted stuff, the air pocket stuff and the bright blue stuff -lots of stuff -Torras has added a ton of prints to the case which seem extraneous -prints like this corner thing that looks like the feet you'd find on other cases -this case has this annoying stand build into it -I really don't like this -BUT with Torras newer cases, they have a rotating stand which works way better -now visually, you'd think this case is super grippy -it has a TPU edge -there's these grip strips -BUT the reality is the case is super slick -almost handles like a wet bar of soap -the only saving grace are the air pockets that have a tacky finish to it -case is going to add 53g to your iPhone, which is pretty average -bulk wise, going to increase the size of your iPhone by 71% -alright, for drop protection, -Torras claims this case has a 100% rebound rate -so somehow these plastic airbags defy the laws of physics -or Torras has magically developed a system were there is no energy loss? -the intial impact at the corners at 3ft was 11.0N -that's 14% higher than average -now despite the airbags, the case didn't rotate as much as I thought -because the rotation rate was average -when it came to settling down, the rate was 55% faster than average -and because of that the total force going into the iPhone was a hair below average -so is this a good result? -I don't think so -a good case dampens the drop, the air bags on this case act like springs -the only thing the air bags are good for is preventing the case from looking damaged which is what most case manufacturers are going for -for face drops -the edges of this case have very little flex -so it passes -intial impact is 42% lower -settling rate is 34% better -and the total force is 14% lower for face first drops -marvelous! -for the camera lump, Torras only has the PC back around it -though it looks like it's multiple layers -which helps because -the initial I'm pact is 30% lower -but because it its a PC back, the settling rate is 7% worse -BUT the overall force is 15% lower than average -so the case is decent for face and camera lump drops -but given corner drops are the most common, the high initial impact for each drop is worrisome for me -corners on the case are big at 3.7mm -mind you most of the corner is air -the back is 2.9mm thick which is a hair above average -for rigidity -this case was average -which is neat to see because the stand is baked into the back -for magsafe, takes 7.1N to pull, 6.9 to push -that's 30% below average -these magnets are so weak that I'd be wary using a simple wallet on it... -maybe I got a bad case because what I see is far from whatever 18N marketing fluff torras touts -case has flow thru buttons -there's a bit of lateral wiggle that's a bit more noticeable compared to other Torras cases -prot cutout can handle any size cable -and is pretty comfortable for the pinky -screen access is great because of the super low edges
