In 2025, we welcome the iPhone 17 series.
This year, our phone cases are still from the renowned American military-grade protection brand Pelican.
Thanks to Pelican for their support last year.
Pelican Military-Grade iPhone 16 Case - Simple Unboxing and Usage Review
Pelican's luggage cases are often used to carry and transport various expensive precision equipment.
So, protecting phones more securely is practically in their brand DNA.
This year, Pelican has three models available in Taiwan, from left to right in the image above:
Protector ~ 4.8m Drop Protection
Shield ~ 7.3m Drop Protection
Voyager ~ 5.4m Drop Protection
A typical Taiwanese two-story house floor is about 3 meters, and standard military specs are 1.2 meters.
So, these drop heights provide perfect protection for your phone.
Now, let's take a closer look at these cases with me.
We'll start with the entry-level Protector series.
This is the slimmest and lightest of the three models.
It's ideal for those who like to keep their phone in their pocket.
The texture continues to use the style from Pelican's luggage cases.
The lens area has a large coverage to minimize potential friction damage.
The lens opening is thoughtful ~ our phone's lenses also have individual lens protectors installed.
You can see it perfectly reserves enough space ~ any market-available lens protector can fit in.
The surrounding area also has raised edges, so even the protector won't touch the desk ~ greatly enhancing protection.
The button design is integrated with the case frame.
This avoids issues where some cases with separate aluminum buttons cause extra friction due to poor installation.
The camera control sensor area has an angled enlargement to prevent unreliable finger presses.
This entry-level case's design and drop strength are more than sufficient for most people.
But if you feel your work environment or activities require even higher protection,
choosing Pelican is a decision you'll never regret.
Because the Voyager and Shield, with their special clamps, offer even stronger protection.
This year, we got the black Voyager.
The exterior looks similar to the Protector, both inspired by their luggage case design.
The texture difference is in the edge accents.
The Shield maintains its rugged, chunky style.
The shape is still robust.
Both cases have even larger openings for the camera control sensor area,
making sliding operations smoother.
MagSafe is built into the case, visible only inside.
This year's two higher-end cases still come with a versatile phone stand/clip.
Just twist it like this, and you can prop your phone on any flat surface.
It has two angles.
You can use it as a desktop camcorder.
Or as a media viewing platform.
Besides that, you can clip it onto yourself for hands-free use.
A belt clip might feel too old-school ~~~ but you can use it like I do.
I always record videos like this while hiking.
The operation is that simple.
Finally, a quick summary.
Modern phones come with pre-applied splash and water-resistant coatings from the factory.
Not just rain ~ even dropping into a regular pool won't be a big issue.
In this state ~ the biggest vulnerability is still drop damage.
There are plenty of cases on the market claiming drop protection.
But few dare to specify the exact free-fall height they can withstand.
And naturally, higher drop heights are better ~ that's Pelican's design strength.
Plus, buying a mid- or high-end drop-proof case comes with this super convenient dual-purpose clip, which is really practical.
For you ~ is drop protection a top priority?
If yes! Then Pelican is your safest choice.
