 Welcome to my unboxing of the ultra thin case. Wait! Please don't hit the dislike button. Okay, I'm going to confess, I'm unboxing this because they messaged me on YouTube, Snug did that is, and they said, would you like one of our cases? We noticed you have an iPad. And I said sure. And they said well then can you do a video about it? And I said sure. So yes, I am doing this video just so that I can get this iPad case for my iPad 2. Now that I've said that, you've probably already hit the dislike button, and I guess I don't blame you because I've pretty much sold out on this one. But the fact that I am going to give it a positive video is not so much an indication that I am selling out, but rather an indication that I was already interested in the Snug Ultra Thin Case for the iPad 2 before I asked to get one. So as long as it meets my expectations, then I am expecting that my expectations will be met and I will be happy with it. Okay, less than 14mm when holding iPad 2, protect both the front and back of iPad 2, and I will explain why that is important at this time. And the funny thing about this is I actually, oh okay, you know what, I'll tell the story after. I'll take the back cover for instant on and off, and fold into an appropriate angle for viewing and writing. Okay, so let's have a look. First of all, I'm going to show you guys something. If you hit the dislike button already, you're probably going to hit the like button right about now. Okay, so first there's a scratch on the back of my iPad 2 because apparently I don't believe in cases. Can you see that scratch? No? Okay, well it's pretty good. It's pretty good. It's pretty significant. But that is not the part that really chews me up inside. The part that, oh sorry, hold on, I got some notifications here. I'm going to have to go ahead and go back to the, hold on. Oh man, really? Come on. Come on. Okay, there we go. This is the part that really makes me wish that I was using a case on my iPad 2 at all times. I broke my iPad 2. I was sitting on the couch. Okay, I was sitting on the couch and I kind of like had all my keys and all my stuff in my pockets and I didn't realize that I had tossed my iPad 2 onto the floor in front of me and took my keys in my pocket and went like this. And they struck. They struck my iPad 2, which now has a big, huge cracked, horrible thing here and it has a hairline crack that runs all the way down here. Turns out it costs about 200 to 250 bucks to replace the glass, so I won't be doing it. But in order to prevent any further damage, I will be adding a case to my iPad 2. So Snug has allowed me to do that. So yes. All right, so here is a soft, non-scratchy surface so it won't scratch the back, which is already scratched and won't scratch the glass, which is cracked and horrible. And yeah, I hate that. Okay, so you basically take your iPad 2 and you put it in here. It snaps into place with something like that. Okay, hold on. Let me just see. Let me just see if it snaps into place like that. That's one. There we go. So it's now in place. And then it goes like that. So oh yeah, that is actually really thin. Check that out. So here, hold on. Let me go get another tablet. You know what? Just come with me. Okay. So let's go get another tablet and we'll compare the thickness of the iPad 2 with the Snug case to the Motorola Zoom with no case. And I suspect that it will still be thinner or about as thin as the Motorola Zoom. So let's just grab that. Hold on. There we go. Okay, let's go back. Let's go back where the light is good. So here, I'm going to put them on the table and you can compare the thickness for yourself. Oh, that's actually very similar. Okay, so with the Snug ultra thin case for iPad 2, it is about the thickness of a Motorola Zoom. So you can go like this and I think it works the same way as that magic thing, which I don't think is magic. But hold on. You fold it in a triangle and it goes like that, I think. Is that right? Okay. Slick says I'm right. So there's like this or this or this. Although I have no idea how this works. Okay, let's try and figure this out. So really? I don't think that seems very likely. Hold on. I think he's telling me I'm doing it wrong. Oh yeah, okay, cool. So like this. See, I struggle with Apple things. I may use them from time to time, but if it makes you guys feel any better, I do struggle. Okay, well I'm not convinced about this one, but it definitely does this. And let's see if we can do this. Aha! It does this. Which is as good as this anyway. So there you go. And that's actually, oh hey look at that. That's really solid. I tried this with the magic one before, the Apple one, and it actually wasn't this solid. So yeah, it doesn't move like at all. It's pretty good. Okay, so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Snug ultra thin case for iPad 2. Don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech Tips for more videos like this. Yeah, I'm gonna do it.
