Alpaka Elements Tech Case Mini Review:
I've been using the regular sized Elements Tech Case from Alpaka everyday since 2023, and I was curious to see if most of my accessories can fit the Elements Tech Case Mini. There are definitely days when I try to minimize my carry most especially since I don't need to bring most of my dongles, cables and chargers all the time. I reached out to Marlim Gear, the first official online retailer of Alpaka here in the Philippines, and they were kind enough to send this Tech Case Mini to test and review!
This is my review of the Alpaka Elements Tech Case Mini in Ocean Blue X-Pac, based on a 2 week testing period. Hopefully this review is useful enough that it allows you to make a good purchase decision.
Price and where to buy:
If you're in the Philippines, on Marlim Gear's Lazada, this Ocean Blue X-Pac is P3200. While the Black Axoflux version is P2,600. www.lazada.com.ph/shop/marlim
Globally, at Alpaka's official website, Black Axoflux is $45.00. While the Ocean Blue is $55.

I love the blue and orange color. This is the perfect size for me I want to start carrying less and I like how it sits flat on the body

@shanebellare Месяц назад

The size is perfect ! Thank you for watching and please don’t forget to like and subscribe! Currently planning for a comparison video for the regular Elements Tech Case vs this one!

I have the Tech Case Mini as my tech pouch, Zip Clutch and the Zip Pouch Pro as my travel wallet and daily wallet respectively in RX30 Ocean Blue. I may get whatever is in RX30 Ocean Blue depending on my needs😅

@shanebellare Месяц назад

it's such a nice color! how are the Zip Clutch and Pouch Pro? Haven't looked into these!

@KelvinHew7 Месяц назад

@@shanebellare initially I bought the Zip Clutch to replaced my retired Tru Virtu clamshell wallet, but it was too big to be used as a daily wallet. So I bought the Zip Pouch Pro for basic EDC and daily wallet. The Zip Clutch will only be used during my travels as it can hold my passport and offers more space.

@shanebellare Месяц назад

That’s cool! Smaller and less bulkier wallets are certainly the way to go! My old leather wallets just serve as storage now for extra ID’s and back up credit cards .

@@shanebellare I even use a Topo Designs Micro accessory bag to store my Indonesian Rupiah notes.

@shanebellare Месяц назад

Topo designs is also another interesting and creative brand!

Hi u think i can fit the Lenovo y700 2023 in there its almost the same Size as Ipad Mini 6 (208.9x129.5x7.6mm / 8.22x5.10x0.30in) but i measured with the Keyboard case i have it would be just more Height instead of 12.9cm ~16cm / 5.10 ~6,29in the lenght is the same as IPad Mini just the Height will be more, its the only Sling pouch i found that is small Compact looks good and has good room just the Height is abit Tricky

@shanebellare Месяц назад

Hi! If you need a bit more height, you can’t go wrong with the regular sized Alpaka Elements Tech Case. The size is just right and you can compress it if you don’t need the extra space. You can check out my channel because I did a review about it last year. Hope this helps and please don’t forget to like and subscribe!

@pippip1799 Месяц назад

so does it fit ipad mini or not??

@shanebellare Месяц назад

Hi there, thank you for your question! Yes, an iPad Mini can fit in the main compartment if the case is a bit thick, like if it has a magic keyboard attached. Then if the ipad case is slim, then it can fit the tech sleeve, similar to the Kindle that I demonstrated in the video for EDC loadout (You can check out the timestaps). But if you need a bit more space, I suggest the regular sized Alpaka Tech Case, which I also reviewed here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6_i4UiRX9DQ.html Hope this helps! Kindly like and subscribe as it allows us to make more reviews like this one, and so we can reach our goal of 1000 subscribers. I'll be reviewing more Alpaka products soon!

does it stand on its own?

@shanebellare Месяц назад

Thank you for your question! It doesn’t stand as easily as the regular sized Alpaka Elements Tech Case because of its extra middle compartment, which makes it stand on its own. I did a quick demo before the end of the video to compare the two tech pouches. Hope this helps and please don’t forget to like and subscribe as it allows to make more reviews like one. I’m also shooting Alpaka Tech Case comparisons!
