Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15 lineup earlier this week, and if you wish to defend your new iPhone from scratches dents, and different perils, you’re going to wish to use a case. However a case is a case, proper? Properly, which will have been true in earlier mannequin years, however standard case and accent maker Speck has taken instances to a brand new degree with its ClickLock™ Magsafe-compatible line of instances and equipment.
Speck has been within the case and equipment enterprise since 2001, and I’ve been utilizing Speck instances for a number of years to guard my iPhones.
Now, the venerable case and accent maker has launched an enormous variety of new instances. particularly 169 new instances in 17 completely different designs and 20 colours. Plus, it has launched three new MagSafe-compatible equipment for the iPhone 15.
57 of Speck’s new instances use the corporate’s patent-pending ClickLock™ interlock system, which prevents your iPhone from by accident slipping off from the corporate’s new Automobile Vent Mount, Pockets, and StandyGrip™ – all of which have been introduced a number of weeks in the past.
All 169 Speck instances at the moment are out there and may be discovered on the Speck web site, different on-line retailers, and at main retail areas, and they’re out there for the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Professional, and iPhone 15 Professional Max, all of which debuted earlier this week.
What’s ClickLock™?
Earlier than we take a more in-depth take a look at Speck’s iPhone 15 case and accent lineup, I’d wish to clarify what “ClickLock™” is and the way it protects your iPhone 15 when you’re charging your gadget or have it mounted in your car.
I’m not going to badmouth Apple’s MagSafe charging and mounting system. MagSafe permits a quick connection to wi-fi chargers whereas additionally offering a comparatively safe technique of mounting the gadget in your automotive, on a charging stand, or on a mount to make use of your iPhone for continuity digicam help together with your MacBook.
Nonetheless, I’ve had a number of experiences the place my iPhone will get knocked off its vent mount after I hit an particularly deep freeway pothole. I’m additionally relatively clumsy (okay, I’m very clumsy), and I’ve been recognized to knock my iPhone off its mount within the automotive or when utilizing it with my MacBook. That is the place Speck’s ClickLock™ system involves the rescue.
“Final yr we began methods to essentially enhance the person expertise of utilizing an iPhone,” stated Bryan Hynecek, Chief Design Officer of Speck Merchandise, “After extensively utilizing MagSafe magnetic mounts and equipment we knew there needed to be a option to make the bond extra strong.”
Speck’s designers created a way to forestall MagSafe equipment from slipping by together with an interlocking ‘bolt’ in its ClickLock™ iPhone equipment, which works with a mated slot in its ClickLock for MagSafe iPhone instances. The bolt system makes use of a magnetically attracted bolt that mechanically extends any time a ClickLock™ MagSafe iPhone case is introduced near it, inflicting the mechanical interlock to forestall the iPhone from slipping. The bolt engages the receptacle, making an audible and oddly satisfying ‘click on’ sound. “ClickLock.” get it.
Speck’s ClickLock™ equipment lineup contains three equipment that provide help to maintain your iPhone protected from unintended slipping. The lineup features a Automobile Vent Mount, a Pockets, and the “StandyGrip,” which is a multi-purpose accent that acts as a finger grip, a stand that enables portrait or panorama viewing of your iPhone 15, and as a continuity digicam mount to be used together with your MacBook.
The ClickLock™ system will not be meant as a substitute for Apple’s MagSafe system however is as an alternative meant to boost Apple’s mounting system, offering further safety towards having your iPhone slip off of its mount.
Along with being designed to work with ClickLock™ equipment, Speck’s ClickLock™ case lineup can also be suitable with customary MagSafe mounts and chargers. As for the ClickLock™ equipment, they can be utilized together with your new iPhone 15 each with and with no customary MagSafe case. Nonetheless, these mixtures don’t present the added ClickLock™ safety.
