not to burst your bubble but you dropped it in mud, just saying. and it wasnt even direct impact it was attached to something and only had direct impact with the ground after it was already on the mud and the latch broke so you succesfully dropped it from about an inch in mud at high speed.
and on another note, why waste money dropping it from space just throw the damn thing at a sidewalk as hard as you can case closed. is it scratched? does it turn on? is everything in order? good buy our shit it works.
***** Yes. What is that an unreasonable standard? NASA can dock to the ISS, so then why do people get into fender-benders while parking their cars? Hahahaha
and it was never dropped it was attached to the device that broke its fall should have had camera turn on and video fall and impact, i see the iphone glass brake from 4 feet so i know the case is nice uag always had a nice case.
***** There are many of these videos of mobile phones reaching high altitudes like that on youtube. But no one used it to promote a case or claimed that 30 km would be space. Beside that there was almost no chance that the case itself would hit the ground first and it looks they even used a large parachute to land (you can see the ropes hitting ground after touchdown). Overall not a goddam video but a terrible shot in the foot for the advertising of a protection case.
Terminal velocity is much greater at 100,000 feet than at the height of a cliff. Remember that Austrian guy who jumped off a balloon and exceeded the speed of sound?
Zephyr López Cervilla The air is much thinner up there. You can't reach the speed of sound at sea level by just falling. You would slow down considerably. So, yeah, dropping it from a cliff is practically the same thing.
Juan Carlos Solórzano We tried to be clear on what this video was about from our description. When other websites reposted the video they made up their own descriptions on what the video was instead of following ours. Thank you for watching!
Urban Armor Gear Inc. You have to understand that most people in this world are dumb animals, who simply follow the crowd, neither thinking or asking questions for themselves.
+Juan Carlos Solórzano Worst customer service and line of products Ive ever come across. I recently bought a maverick case for my iphone 5 and 5s, and also a maverick for the iphone 6. These cases are so tight on the phone they ripped the screen off of all three phones! I luckily was able to get the iphone 6 replaced as its still under apple care but the 5 and 5s were not covered. So now Im left with the responsibility of repairing the devices. When I contacted UAG to let them know of their faulty product they didnt even bother to ask which case it was or anything about the events. The literally have no regard for their customers property or their own customer service. I strongly recommend that anyone looking to keep thier phone in one piece or avoid paying phone repairs stay away from this company! Each of these phones cost around $800 and these cases are destroying them in one day!
No usable case will protect a phone from a terminal velocity drop onto a *hard* surface. Something has to absorb the energy from the fall. A good case can absorb most of the energy from a head level (5-6ft) fall. Once you go above 8 foot your phone will feel a lot of that energy and it'll start breaking things. _Source:_ Smartphone repair technician
So we drop a phone, from space, with a parachute, and it lands about as soft as a human jumping. Then you mean to tell me it lands perfectly in camera view and upright? Great test.......
A lot of factors are not being considered here. With the phone attached to the flight rig, it has more surface area which equals more drag, and ultimately less speed. The ground it hit was also soft mud from the looks of it which absorbs SO much energy. Lastly, the flight rig absorbed 90% of the impact; the only reason the phone actually made contact with the ground is because of the momentum it had from the fall releasing it from the grasps of the flight rig. If they would have dropped it from that height without anything attached to it (besides a small gps tracker) on to a concrete parking lot it would have been decimated.
Reading comments and OMG.....! The force applied on the phone is not changed during the fall. It is P=mg (mass x gravity acceleration, 9.8m/s2). The energy the phone contained b4 the fall W = mgh (mass x g x height) The energy of the phone, at ground W' = (mv2)/2 (mass x velocity squared). W = W' therefore we can compute v when it touch the ground: F = ma = m( 0 - v )/(1second) and so the height where you drop it DOES affect the force that applied on the phone at touch down BLA BLA BLA
Hardly a "drop test" from space. The phone was mounted onto something that controlled it's decent, and prevented it from making any real impact on the ground. The actual drop test produced no more shock to the phone and case than dropping it from your pocket, if that.
*Space doesn't measure temperature using degrees since there is no air , molecules behave differently. -300°C would feel like 300°C since there would be the same exchange of molecules during both interactions.*
waste of time, there was a parachute on it... throw it from a 22 floors building without any parachute, and you will see the real damage... 9.81 m/s rules
landed on a softer surface (in this case mud), the arm landed first, the arm had a parachute, maybe it was just for stabilization but it looks more like it was an actuall parachute and then they speed up the footage to make it seem falling faster
Any one else notice the lack of a curve? 100k ft is a lot higher than any plane flies, and don't people claim to be able to see the curve in a airplane?
LOL! The phone was dropped with something that is keeping the video upright! Meaning, it was most probably dropped with a balloon or parachute to soften the landing.
What ever it was on absorbed the crash. And a missed opportunity to show the screen. I own a UAG case and it can take a fall really well without a scratch on the case or damage to the phone. UAG has nice large tactile buttons. The only problem is that it is very slippery and has slipped out of my hand 5X more often than the Speck candy shell grip that I used for a year and a half. The UAG case I've used for 3 mths. I own an iPhone 5S. UAG is a protective case but beware its slippery.
The point wasn't to have it fall and survive it wasn't a drop test they even said in the description that there was a parachute the point was to bring it into space
this video is the total proof that earth is not flat like some crazy ppl believe.. the cellphone's shape is not curved by the lens, it is clearly straight yet the earth is curved, this must be a solid proof and it looks legit.
I had this case but returned it because it was too slippery. Used UAG for my Galaxy s3 and iPhone 5 and they are great cases. Just not a fan of it for the 6.
Perhaps you should check out the video Colin Furze did last month doing the same thing with an HTC One M8. Btw, neither video had anything to do with a drop test but the fact that it reached over 100k feet above and withstood artic temperatures is astonishing enough.
Even though the phone hit the ground slowly I've had this case for a few months and dropped it lots of time even off a balcony before and still NO cracks.
Remember to always show parameters in your system and international system (UR system: Feets, International system: meters UR system: °F, International: °C
Droped with all the equipement and the balloon also! The impact speed was like is droped from your pocket, and the impact was with the equipement probably. It was a crash test or something else?
No, kid, stop playing minecraft and learn. People were saying "look at that flat earth" because it was a setup. Stop educating people and educate yourself
Seem to be a cotrolled drop. Enev though the balloon popped, seems there was no tumbling! Just a little spinning. And before impact the whole unit seems to make a dramatic slow down as if a shoot was opened to lessen the impact. You want to do something dramatic, have Red Bull do it.
This is pointless. The frame it was attached to was what took most of the impact. You probably got the equivalent force of dropping it from 3ft onto mud.
Publicado el 04/01/2015 On November 28th, 2014 we sent a brand new iPhone 6 on the ultimate adventure to the stratosphere. On its journey, the iPhone reached a height of over 101,000 feet and encountered temperatures as cold as -79 degrees F and winds as strong as 70 MPH. During the descent the iPhone 6 and flight rig withstood a 150 PRM rotation as the parachute deployed and the rig fought to stabilize. Read the description, never said drop test
Uh, a parachute deployed during it's decent for safety reasons (so it wouldn't hurt someone if it dropped on them). This test in regards to a 'drop test' is 100% useless. However, it did test the iPhone's health following sub-zero temperatures and high winds (cross-winds in the upper atmosphere).
