Video Review: Moshi's iGlaze iPhone Cases Are Sturdy Without Adding Too Much Bulk

In our latest video review, we went hands-on with two iPhone cases from Moshi, a well-known accessory maker that develops cases, cables, screen protectors, and more for Apple's line of iOS devices.

Moshi's iGlaze Armour and iGlaze Napa, two of the cases we looked at, are available for both the iPhone 6/6s and the iPhone 6/6s Plus. The iGlaze Armour, with its aluminum backplate, is solid and sturdy without adding too much bulk to the iPhone. It offers a good amount of protection, with rubber sides to add padding in case an iPhone is dropped.

The iGlaze Napa features a design that's similar to the iGlaze Armour, but with a vegan leather backing in a variety of colors. It isn't built quite the same way, but it's just as sturdy.

The iPhone cases in the video are available for purchase from the Moshi website. The iGlaze Armour for the iPhone 6s is priced at $39.99, while the 6s Plus version is available for $44.99. The iGlaze Napa for the iPhone 6s is priced at $44.95 and the iPhone 6s Plus version is $49.95.

Note: Moshi provided an iGlaze Napa and an iGlaze Armour to MacRumors free of charge for the purposes of this review. No other compensation was received.

sigh, why do manufacturers insist on putting the hole for the Apple logo. It ruins the design.

I agree. I call it the Apple Glory Hole, and I dislike cases with it.

HAH. I'm using this now. I never buy cases with that. It screams "Look at me, look at me, I have an iPhone" even though nobody is impressed by that any more. In addition, I often find cases that have an Apple hole are usually crappy cases on Amazon. So it just makes me think cheap and show-offy.
