00:00Hey it's Adrian and if you're looking to protect your brand new Galaxy Z Fold 6, you're going to
00:04want to check out these carbon fiber cases from Becks. So this is their Aurora Air case and if
00:09you know anything about Kevlar fiber, it's extremely durable while remaining lightweight
00:14and it offers great scratch resistance. Now these are made with 600D Kevlar fiber. Now this is their
00:19montage case which offers hinge protection. Now one thing to note about both of these cases is
00:24that the protection is limited to the back of the phone. There is no front case on these.
00:29So if you're looking to protect the front of the phone, well you can also use their Glass
00:33Warrior screen protector which is supposed to give you great touch response, excellent clarity while
00:38remaining scratch resistant, and providing edge to edge coverage. So this is really for someone
00:43who just wants a minimalist type of hand feel while having some sort of protection. So let's
00:48take a closer look at what this combination looks like and a big thanks to Becks for sending these
00:52out for review. In the Glass Warrior box we have this mounting guide for it. There's also a huge
00:59anti-static sticker, one pane of the Glass Warrior screen protector, cleaning wipes, dust stickers,
01:05and cloth. So the box comes with the rear case for the Z Fold 6. So here is the Aurora Air in the
01:10Kevlar fiber. This is the pattern and look at how thin that is and really in the hand I can't really
01:16tell that I'm even holding anything. Now the montage Air case, it's a little bit heavier like
01:21I could feel that I'm holding this but it's still very lightweight. And we can see this is the hinge
01:25protection it's built in and it's connected right to the edge of the case here and also fairly thin
01:33as well. So I'm just going to put these on and let you know my thoughts. To install the screen protector
01:38we'll first use the cleaning wipe. So I've already wiped the screen down a little bit with a lint-free
01:42cloth but I'll go ahead and use the supplied cleaning wipe on top of that. And it looks pretty
01:49clean to me so I'll go to the next step which is to put the mount down. Now it does show it has a top
01:55and a bottom so I'll just drop it on here. So we're just going to pull down on here and make
02:01sure that you leave the glass just like this so that there's no dust that can get at the bottom
02:06and then I'll just drop it gently into place just like so. And it mentions to press in the middle
02:16and that's going to help get the bubbles out so I'll just press it in the middle there.
02:20And this is what the Glass Warrior screen protector looks like once it's installed on the
02:25Z Fold 6. So if we take a closer look it covers the usable screen but it leaves the black side
02:30bezel uncovered. And taking a look at a top view you can definitely see there is a raised glass
02:38layer on there but the clarity seems pretty good. I'll just open the screen up and yeah there is
02:44still reflection on here so it doesn't have a type of anti-matte coating but yeah the screen is still
02:49very vivid and bright. And in terms of touch functionality so you can see I can just cycle
02:55through and I didn't even turn on the option for touch sensitivity but let me turn that on right
03:01now so you can see you could actually turn on touch sensitivity to just make it a bit more
03:05responsive if you find that it's impeding anything but it seems pretty fine to me even without that
03:11option turned on. And just kind of gliding my fingers down and navigating around my fingers
03:16not getting stuck or anything like that no type of friction so it seems perfectly usable just like
03:22the original screen just with enhanced protection. And this is what the Aurora Armor Air looks like
03:27on the Z Fold 6 and if we take a side view we can see that the case doesn't add much bulk at all.
03:33It is such a slim thin and lightweight case the phone almost feels stock except you have the added
03:40benefit of having protection on the back and a nice grip thanks to this weave type of pattern.
03:46Looking at the camera lens and module you can see it's nicely recessed in there so it's no
03:52problem anytime you put the phone face down it's going to be fully protected. We have cutouts for
03:57the microphone ports at the top of the phone and at the bottom along with the type-c charging port.
04:01Now looking at the side where we have the volume and power button since the case is so slim it's
04:06very easy to lock and unlock the phone very quickly. Opening and closing the phone is also
04:11a little bit easier since we now have grip on the right side here. Looking at the inner screen view
04:17the lip on the case does extend a little bit higher than the frame of the phone however if
04:22you put it face down it's not going to be protected on the cover screen side because there's no cover
04:28on there. And even though I have oily fingerprints there's no type of residue being left behind even
04:34when I look at it at different angles. When you place the phone down on a table while it's folded
04:39up there is noticeable wobble and if we take a top view you can see that's because of how much
04:44this camera protector area here juts out. Now when you open the phone up you can see there's also
04:52wobble as well of course because one side is a little bit elevated due to the case and the other
04:56side has no case at all except for the screen protector. And if I try to use the S Pen on here
05:01you can see that it does move a little bit but if I kind of place pressure on one corner here
05:07and I write I can keep it you know pretty much in place. And we still retain quick and easy
05:12wireless charging. The Glass Warrior Screen Protector does add some level of protection
05:17just for the usable screen space but if you were to drop your phone and it landed on any of the
05:22corners or on the hinge well you'd be out of luck. Now if you wanted to kind of jimmy rig something
05:28so I have this really cheap plastic front protector case and I'll just slide that on right
05:33there and it's easily able to fit it with the Glass Warrior Screen Protector. There's really no
05:38issues and I could go ahead open and close the phone so just you know in a pinch or if I really
05:43wanted to I could probably find something better matching maybe something you know fully silver or
05:48fully black and you can still place it on top of the Glass Warrior Screen Protector. But if you
05:53want the most stealth type of setup and hand feel it would be the combination of the Glass Warrior
05:58Screen Protector on the front here and the Aurora Armor Air Kevlar case. Let's remove the Aurora
06:05Armor Air case from the phone and you'll notice it's pretty easy for me to remove this case
06:10because I've just been taking it on and off to you know weigh it to do thumbnails to do b-roll so
06:15when you have yours set up it's not going to pop out that easily because you're going to have this
06:20adhesive strip which I have. It's just I've been using this you know quite a lot so it's not as
06:25effective you know removing it you know maybe 20 or 30 times while making this video. Now for the
06:30montage case same deal we have an adhesive strip here and I have been removing this on and off
06:35quite a bit as well but to put it on you're just going to snap it into place and it goes in very
06:40easily and this is what it looks like with the phone fully opened. And this is what the montage
06:44armor air case looks like on the Z Fold 6 fully closed and I really like this stealth black kind
06:50of matte type of look. Now in terms of grippability it still has really good grip it's not a slippery
06:56surface you can see as I move my thumb there's some friction however with the Aurora Armor Air
07:02case there's definitely more grip because the weave pattern is actually a texture that you can
07:06feel it's raised and here it's nice and flat. Now if I just run my fingernail across this you can see
07:12I have a little bit of lines but I can easily just you know kind of get rid of those by just running
07:17my finger along it so it's you know fairly stiff and durable. Now we have the Banks logo here so
07:24designed by Banks in the bottom corner here and if we take a look at the lens modules
07:29they're nicely recessed in that housing that protective housing so again when you put the phone
07:35down you aren't going to have any issues however there is significant rocking same as with the
07:40Aurora Armor Air case just because of this protrusion here. Now if we go ahead and put the
07:46phone flat down the rocking is still there but because we have the hinge going right down the
07:52middle you know it's not a diagonal rocking it's either on this side or this side and same as with
07:57the Aurora Armor Air opening and closing is very easy now that we have this added grippable area
08:03on the right side of the case and looking at the inside screen the lip extends ever so slightly
08:10but again you're still not going to want to put your phone face down because there's no type of
08:14race protection on the cover screen side. Since the montage case is also very slim and lightweight
08:21opening or locking and unlocking the phone is just as fluid and responsive as with the Aurora Armor
08:26Air case. When using the S Pen as long as I don't press too much it's still fairly easy to go ahead
08:32and use it now you can see I do have a little bit of rocking but if I keep my palm down on this side
08:36I can kind of keep it a little bit planted and navigating around on the phone you can see there's
08:40not a tendency for it to wobble like if I have my finger kind of in one panel since it's only going
08:46to require you know a lot of effort to kind of push it down on that side so if I was to swipe over
08:51you know go ahead tap on this you know I'm not tapping overly hard so for the most part it stays
08:57fairly stable on here. Now the hinge on here is a nice and textured hinge so you have a lot of grip
09:03which is why I prefer the hand feel on this since the hinge is so slippery on the phone when it's
09:08exposed so this is a great kind of design choice. Now one thing I noticed about this is this is
09:14actually magnetic you can see I could put this box cutter shake it put it upside down and it stays in
09:19place so yeah we have a magnetic hinge here and this just flaps or snaps right back into place
09:25really easily so opening and closing this is what it looks like top down view and you can see that
09:30slides out of the way very easily and when I'm opening it I'm kind of putting my fingers on the
09:35hinge which has the grip and opening it like that so yeah bottom view let's see and then a top view
09:46and just like the Aurora Armor Air there is no front protection with this case so you will have
09:50to run the GlassWarrior screen protector now like with the previous case you can still put on you
09:57know your preferred type of front protection if you really want to have something there
10:01and you can see that easily fits over the GlassWarrior screen protector and the hinge
10:05still functions perfectly well as it should there doesn't seem to be any type of impedance
10:12while I open and close and since this left frame on here is not held in place with adhesive you
10:19can see I can kind of shift it out of place or move it around when I do open the hinge
10:24the hinge will roll over on it which is why you're hearing that click there let's hear it again
10:29but in no way does it prevent me from stopping opening and closing the case fluidly you'll just
10:36hear that noise unless you get a case where you know the adhesive keeps this frame nicely in place
10:42same as with the Aurora Armor Air case we have quick and easy wireless charging so the Banks
10:47Aurora Armor Air and Montage Armor Air are beautiful Kevlar fiber cases that don't add a
10:53lot of bulk at all they're super slim and lightweight but I do prefer the Montage Armor
10:59Air case because it kind of widens the phone a bit with the hinge protection and I've always
11:04felt like you know the Z Fold 6 I would prefer it to be a little bit wider now on top of that
11:09we do have this hinge protector here which is nice and textured and adds to the grippability
11:15of the case because the hinge by itself you know can be a little bit slippery so it's good to have
11:20that protection and yeah we do have you know nice added grippability overall we still retain wireless
11:26charging and you know it's good at resisting smudges um fingerprint scratches and things like
11:31that now I know some of you are going to wonder why would someone buy a phone case that just has
11:36rear protection and there's no front cover protection at all and believe it or not there's
11:40actually a decent amount of users who like this type of slim and stealth look and hand feel and
11:46you know they don't have a history of dropping their phone so they just want something with basic
11:50protection anytime they put it down on a table or any type of surface where the camera lens is
11:55protected and you know just the back of the body so it doesn't get scratched and of course you know
12:00you can run the glassware screen protector or any screen protector that you like on here but if the
12:05phone is dropped on any of the corners or if you know you bump this into a wall or you know some
12:10kind of hard surface well you're not going to be protected so you do have to know what you're
12:14getting into and you do have to be you know mindful as a user of how well you take care of
12:19your phone and you know how many instances you've had of dropping it or bumping it because this may
12:24not be the case for you if you're someone who expects to drop or bump your phone but if you
12:29like and appreciate this type of look and slim and stealth setup and you want to pick up either the
12:34Aurora Armor Air or the Montage Armor Air case which I'm holding right now I'm going to leave
12:39some links down below for you to check it out and I'll also leave a coupon code DEM15 so you can
12:44get 15% off site-wide on the Banks official website and if you're looking for a phone case
12:49that has both front and rear protection and you don't want to kind of you know run some kind of
12:55MacGyver front cover like I was showing earlier well stay tuned because I have more upcoming case
13:00reviews for the Z Fold 6 but yeah let me know what you think of the Banks Aurora Armor Air and the
13:05Montage Armor Air cases you know how do you feel about the look would you consider a setup like
13:11this where you're just having back protection and minimal front protection with a screen protector
13:16or is this just you know an absolute you know no from you straight out of the gate because of that
13:21curious to hear what you guys have to say and as always if you found this video helpful please
