The BUDU iPhone 7 Case Is The Swiss Army Knife of Cases!

Описание: So finally, I’ve come across a modular iPhone case that I’m actually excited to tell you guys about. It’s the Budu case. Short for “Be you, Do you”. Now If you’re running a gauntlet of different cases for different uses, you seriously need to consider getting a Budu case and a couple of accessories. Honestly, the Budu just makes my iPhone, that much easier to use in my everyday life.

Right off the bat, the modularity of the Budu comes from the 4 small magnets on the back of the case. Accessories easily clip into the back with two magnets while the mounting accessories snap directly onto the magnets. There are a plethora of different accessories you can get but I am particularly fond of the kickstand/ring plate, the folio case and the car mounts.

For my Budu case review, I’ve given the case a score of 4.4 Eh’s out of 5. This is one of the highest rated iPhone 7 case I’ve come across and would score higher if the case was officially drop-rated.

For design, the Budu, by itself is thin and light but the overall weight and bulk will change depending on the accessory you are using. The case fits well together as with every accessory that I’ve used. Attaching the accessories is as simple as inserting the top lip into the back of the case and letting the magnets attach. Removing the additional accessories is as easy getting your fingernail under the plate at the bottom corners of the case.

The front edge of the Budu case won’t slide around easily and the edge is larger on the Budu case than the average iPhone case. This helps with the texture and one-handed usage of the iPhone in the case. I didn’t have any issues with the wear/tear of the case.

When it comes to protection, the Budu case isn’t drop-rated but they claim to have dropped it up to 8 ft successfully. I personally would have no problems watching my iPhone suffer through any day-to-day accidents in the Budu case. The case fits the iPhone tightly so dust and debris won’t be an issue though the bottom edge of the iPhone is exposed. The edges of the case are high enough to keep the screen of a flat surface.

For functionality, I didn’t have any issues accessing the buttons on the iPhone. The thinness of the case doesn’t impede the camera or flash and the edges do not get in the way of access. One-handed usage is decent despite the slick back due to the large rubber edges along the bottom of the case. And if one handed-usage is your thing, well, there’s an attachment for that.

When it comes to extra accessories, Budu has a wallet, a folio, a suction mount, vent mount, bike/handle mount, ring/kickstand, anti-gravity mount and last but not least, custom plates. Now every accessory will cost you extra with prices ranging from $20-$30 dollars and the cases themselves costing between $50 and $60 dollars for the iPhone 7 or 7 Plus. So to get my goto set of a ring/kickstand, Folio case and the vent mount will cost me $120 dollars which is a bit steep.

So why is my preferred setup the kickstand ring, folio case and car mount?

First of all, Budu’s attachment system takes the best of the Otterbox UniVerse system and the Mophie Force Hold. The Otterbox UniVerse is incredibly secure but harder to swap accessories in and out whereas the Mophie Force Hold is easy to swap accessories but doesn’t feel that stable. For the Budu, the hybrid mechanical, magnetic system is easy to use and relatively secure. It is the best of both worlds in my opinion.

With that in mind, I love how I can quickly swap between accessories. It is a case that truly allows my iPhone to be whatever I need it to be. On the way to the office, I need my iPhone to mount easily and quickly to my car. I can’t do that with a traditional wallet case but with the Budu, I just take the wallet portion off and mount it. Once I get to the office, all I do is snap the wallet back onto the iPhone and I’m good to go.

The Budu makes using my iPhone in my life, incredibly simple. So if you want one, head over to their Kickstarter page and help them out. It’ll be worth it.
