What’s it?
The Torras Ostand O3 Air case is an iPhone case that gives tons of throughout safety, in addition to the stand on again that serves the dude goal of a telephone stand in virtually any orientation you’ll be able to think about, and a grip for simply holding your telephone one handed. Which is getting more durable and more durable with there being no finish in sight to the ever-increasing sizes of smartphones.

- (As you’ll be able to see plenty of what they wish to discuss is the airbags on the highest and backside of the case. The web site had no data on the completely different supplies utilized in making the case, any point out of the actual fact that there’s a bodily digital camera management button, or the ring stand.)
Design and options
>I’ve seen these ring-stand circumstances for some time now, and I’ve to say that I used to be by no means even as soon as . It simply didn’t look like one thing I might need or use all that a lot. And for some purpose I figured the case itself can be lower than ideally suited when it got here to safety and appears. I actually thought they seemed low-cost. I actually don’t know why. However this case virtually immediately modified my thoughts!
Let’s begin with the buttons. They really feel nice and are extremely clicky. They’re additionally fairly onerous to get out of the case. Which is an effective factor. A pair years in the past I acquired an inexpensive case with replaceable buttons, and sooner or later after not more than 3 or 4 days one of many quantity buttons simply fell out, and I by no means discovered it. I’ve a tough time believing these ones are going to fall out although. They’re very safe. That mentioned, with a little bit effort you’ll be able to push them inwards and out of the case to exchange with completely different colours that they provide on their website. And the brand new ones push proper into place as effectively. I just like the customization, however despatched me some orange ones that I don’t take care of on the coral pink case. Possibly a special coloration would look good.
Sure, I acquired the coral pink case. I’m usually an earth-tone type of man so I virtually at all times go together with a bland case coloration. This time I made a decision to modify it up. The colour jogs my memory of when Apple launched the iPhone XR, that they had a coral possibility that I used to be actually drawn to, however didn’t wish to sacrifice the options of the professional telephone. This case if very paying homage to that telephone coloration, and I like itI
It’s additionally value noting that they’ve a bodily digital camera management button, versus a cutout that the majority cheaper circumstances are likely to go together with. It’s a small element, however a pleasant one which undoubtedly provides to the premium really feel of the case general. It simply looks like extra of a whole case versus one thing with an enormous gap there.
The case itself fairly massive. It provides a major quantity of weight, top, and width to the telephone. As I discussed earlier than, I usually bounce backwards and forwards utilizing my telephone with a case and with out (extra so at residence). I determine it’s not going to fall far, and even when it does it’s solely going to be onto a hardwood ground or a rug. I don’t get the Professional Max telephone as a result of I simply don’t wish to be dealing with a telephone that huge. This case doesn’t make it as huge because the Professional Max, however it makes it greater than I would favor. But it doesn’t really feel unwieldy both. Many of the measurement comes from these “airbags” they ever so subtly talked about on their website. That mentioned, it’s nice for defense, and the fabric considerably provides to the grip of the case as effectively.
There’s a slight texture on the perimeters of the case across the buttons that considerably provides to the grip. As a result of there’s extra room on the amount button aspect of the telephone there’s extra of the feel there. And fewer so on the ability button aspect due to that digital camera management button.
Across the digital camera array there’s a raised lip that may shield the lenses from resting on no matter floor you set it down on. On the opposite aspect there’s a slight lip rising above the display screen as effectively. It’s very minimal however that may very well be because of the display screen protector I’ve on my telephone. Nonetheless, there’s loads of clearance to guard the display screen from injury should you despatched it face down.
Proper subsequent to the cameras cutout you get some refined branding; I’m not a fan. It’s not big and never in your face, however it appears pointless and virtually prefer it was thrown on there on the final minute as an afterthought simply to get the model title someplace on there. On the within of the Ostand is a few branding as effectively. It says “Ostand” on the backside of the circle in very small print. You possibly can virtually miss it, however it’s there. This one looks like they gave it extra thought. It’s on what I assume is an aluminum insert and appears fairly good.
The ring is simply wonderful. It’s very stiff, however in a good way. That means it should maintain its place at any angle so you’ll be able to stand it up anyway you need. As a finder maintain its okay. It’s a must to put two finger via it as an alternative of 1, which isn’t an enormous deal, however as a result of its skinny steel it should begin to dig into your fingers after a protracted scrolling session. The sides of the ring should not precisely sharp, however they aren’t precisely rounded both. I discovered I wanted to maintain adjusting each couple minutes so it didn’t maintain digging into the identical spot on my fingers for too lengthy. Once more, not an enormous deal. The truth that it serves double obligation is unbelievable. There’s additionally extraordinarily satisfying clicking as you spin the ring round, and it’s extremely clean.
Another small however notable particulars must be addressed as effectively. The cutout for the USB-C port is spacious. I didn’t have any cables with connectors that will not match, which will be a difficulty on some cheaper circumstances. Additionally there’s an extra small gap subsequent to one of many speaker cutouts on the underside. I assume that is to connect a lanyard if you need a wrist strap or one thing. An awesome addition although I don’t suppose I’ll ever use this myself.
Meeting, Set up, Setup
There’s not a lot in the way in which of setup right here, however I’m leaving the part in to say that placing the case on the telephone is sort of satisfying. It very securely snaps on with no fear that it’ll by chance come off. And as soon as on it’s onerous to get it again off. Which for somebody that places a case on and leaves it on for the lifetime of getting the telephone that’s high quality. I have a tendency to love to take my case off every now and then and use the telephone bare. These telephones had been made to be stunning objects and utilizing them with no huge case is very nice at occasions. This case doesn’t make it simple to leap backwards and forwards. A minor gripe. Nonetheless I do know I’m within the minority in relation to this and I contemplate it a promoting level that it doesn’t come off simply. It simply implies that the case is just not going to pop off randomly.
Efficiency
After a pair days of utilizing the case and attaching it to MagSafe mounts and chargers, the flip out ring began to bend ever so barely It’s so slight in truth that others might not even discover, however my OCD is a bit triggered and I can’t unsee it!
Whereas I like the look of the frosted clear again it did slip out of my fingers a pair occasions. Even down onto concrete as soon as. However the case protected it effectively. Not a single mark on the telephone. Some on the corners of the case however that’s what it’s meant to do.
The magnets are fairly sturdy. Not amazingly so, however they get the job carried out. I didn’t have something by chance knocked off whereas hooked up to the again of the case.
Remaining ideas
On the finish of the day this can be a nice case if you’re in search of good general safety with some very good extras. On this case, these being the built-in stand and finger grip, in addition to swappable buttons (for all however the digital camera management button). The colour is vibrant, and I assume the opposite colours wouldn’t disappoint both. The worth level is a tad on the excessive aspect, however I actually consider you might be getting what you pay for right here; an important wanting, feeling case that may shield your telephone for its runtime as your every day driver.
