Hello all

Just in case anyone was after a new case for their AIR, I played around with the Freewell Rugged Case and a cheaper hold-all from Sunnylife.
Using a garden hose, my (svelte) weight and some eggs, I put them through their paces...

** Edit: I've put this up for a giveaway; see bottom post... Cheers, Ian

A great video Ian, well done again.

I soaked my bags with waterproofing spray that I use for my fishing coats, bags well and truly waterproof, even zips material waterproof now.

"Real life everyday tests" made me smile ;) All in all nice test, I'd not want to be caught in the rain with any of them, though I was surprised to see both eggs untouched in the Freewell! Thanks for reviewing!

Great that it waterproofs the zips too.... I don't plan on leaving them out in the rain, but I have actually done that with my phone before

I know right, but as it rains here, like a lot, I waterproofed the cases for when I'm out in the middle of nowhere.  Half way up or down a mountain and it rains, going to get a soaking lol Did I tell you it rains here.

"Simulated" Real life tests   But truly, nothing is getting damaged inside the Freewell case....  It's solid and genuinely very rugged..

And for anyone that wants a go, I've set up a free giveaway for this case on my YouTube channel; trying to bump a few numbers up so I thought it would be fun to do a giveaway and also introduce the family of pups...
Cheers
