A premium Leather iPhone case that uses suction technology? Sounds weird but trust us, its awesome!nnCheck out the blog review: http://mreh.ca/1EOtR3VnnNeed more reviews? http://www.mobilereviews-eh.cannnToday we’re going to do a review of a couple of cases for the iPad Air and iPhone 6 by a company called NODUS. These are basically portfolio style cases that don’t use stickers, velcro or straps to keep everything together. If that wasn’t enough to keep you interested, I’m also going to use the word, suction, a lot in this review.nnThe Access cases for the iPhone 6 and iPad Air are quite unique as the devices attaches to the cases through the use of micro suction technology. They are leather cases that definitely add a bit of class to to your devices. We’re definitely sold on the iPhone version of the case but there’s usability issue with the iPad version.nnBased on our time with these two cases, I’m the iPhone case two thumbs up and the the iPad Air almost two thumbs up. I’d give them numerical values but since we don’t really review wallet cases or iPad cases just yet, I’ll just tell you what I think about them. If you’d rather read the rest of this review, head over to our website!nnAt MobileReviewsEh, we base our reviews on real usage which means that if a manufacturer says there’s something special about their case. We’re going to see if its special.nnWith these Nodus cases, the main draw for us is the micro suction. Does it work? I’d say so.nnThese Access cases are actually a product of Nodus’s successful kickstarter campaign which is pretty awesome.nnIn terms of design, these are fairly low profile leather cases. There is an outer leather exterior with a micro-fibre inset. Unlike other leather accessories that we’ve seen, the stitching is pretty solid and the entire case seems very well built.nnThe case wears as well as any leather case does as the initial period will showcases scratches very easily but should wear better over time. nnThe micro suction technology works well. According to Nodus, the pads on their cases contain millions of microscopic suction cups which grip to a device by forming millions of partial vacuums. These micro suction pads are a little more user friendly when compared to adhesive based cases as they’re not sticky to your hand. They can handle a bit of grease before needing to be cleaned which is quite simple as all you have to do is wipe it down with a damp microfiber cloth.nnIn terms of protection, the Access cases will fare better than some portfolio style cases if dropped but on a day-to-day basis as the case isn’t going to flay apart but there isn’t anything protecting the edges of your iPhone which is a downside this style of case. There is a bit of distance between the iPhone and the edge of the case so its something most people won’t need to worry about. With that being said, not having a cradle makes the Access look way better than a Book Book.nnIn terms of functionality, we wouldn’t consider this as a wallet iPhone case as the capacity of the pocket on the iPhone version of the case isn’t large. The most you’ll get out of the pocket is may 1-2 cards or several business cards. You could pack more into the pocket but then the suction pad on the cover of the case doesn’t have enough area to make a solid connection with the iPhone so it’ll flap open easier. The iPad Air case, though similarly designed, doesn’t look like it was meant to keep much in terms of the sleeve.nnWhen taking a call with the Access case, there is a bend on the iPhone version which allows you to crumple the case together which works and looks better than trying to talk to a tiny book.nnNow at the beginning of the video, we mentioned that we liked the iPhone case better than the iPad version. I feel that the iPad version needs to have magnets incorperated into the cover. I personally have gotten use to putting my iPad to sleep by closing the cover on it but the Access case can’t do that. Now, your iPad goes to sleep after a while which isn’t a big problem but still, I get a little frustrated having to change how I interact with my device because of an accessory.nnOn the bright side, the case has hands free viewing which is something we usually don’t find on other leather portfolio style cases.nn-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------nSubscribe to stay in the loop!
