Torras iPhone case review.

The Torras Ostand case made me a kickstand convert and the Ostand Q3 Air improves upon on it in every way that matters. The MagSafe-compatible iPhone case offers better protection and improves the kickstand to make it more durable and useful without sacrificing pocket-ability. Too bad the price is nearly double at $65.99 / €56.95

Check out the images and captions below for my quick review.

<em>The metal kickstand and hinge briefly click into place at 90-degree intervals as you rotate the assembly, making it easy to find the most stable orientation.</em>
<em>It strikes a good balance between protection for my iPhone 15 Pro and pocket-ability. </em>
<em>The kickstand can hold your iPhone when using <a href="https://thevergenews.pages.dev/23440538/apple-macos-continuity-camera-how-to-use">Apple’s continuity camera feature</a> during video calls</em>.
<em>The 18N MagSafe-compatible magnet is strong with “fourth-generation airbags” in all four corners. It has an 8ft drop rating.</em>
<em>That N52 magnet creates some interesting mounting possibilities. </em>
<em>Torras’ buttons are springy and easy to locate, and actually improve the feel over no case at all.</em>
<em>The case uses scratch-resistant materials that offer good grippiness as well.</em>
<em>Importantly the case rises 1.4mm above the phone’s glass display to protect it from falls.</em>
<em>The lip rises 1mm above the camera array</em>.
<em>All my USB-C cables fit through the case’s opening, but the bulkiest connectors (like the USB-C cable that came with my MacBook charger) need a push.</em>
<em>The case fits Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro / Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max.</em>
<em>Torras includes replacement buttons in the box if you’re not feeling this Miami Dolphins color scheme.</em>
<em>That hinge feels solid and has held up to blowing sand and dust without issues... so far.</em>
