Pavel Jelic Protective covers or cases are among the accessories for smartphones that we buy most often. For some, a protective cover is an absolute must, primarily to protect against damage. Other users may perceive protective covers only as a fashion accessory. If you buy a cover, it usually doesn't end with just one piece, which is definitely true, especially women who have a huge collection of protective covers. In short and simply, there are never enough of them - because there is a different one for every occasion, and above all, new types and new manufacturers are constantly appearing, so it is impossible to resist.

Together, as part of this review, we will look at a total of three covers provided by the Swissten.eu online store. In this online store, in addition to covers, you can also find, for example, power banks, cables, stands, car holders, protective glasses and much more. As for the covers we will review, they are the MagStick, Clear Jelly and Soft Joy variants. Each of these covers is unique in something, but if you decide to buy one of them, you definitely won't break the bank - you'll only pay a few hundred. So let's get straight to the point.
Official specification
As mentioned above, in this review we will look at three different covers. I personally own an iPhone XS, so I received covers for this model for the review, but in the offer you can find covers for practically all Apple phones. Let's start this review with the official specs, just like we do with other reviews - although it's true that there aren't many of those specs when it comes to protective covers. The first cover we look at is called the MagStick - and it's the most interesting. You might guess from the name that it will have something to do with MagSafe, which is true. Specifically, with this cover, you can add the option to use MagSafe even on older iPhones. The second cover that can be considered such a classic is Clear Jelly. It is transparent and flexible, so the original appearance of your iPhone stands out. The third cover we're going to look at is the Soft Joy – this cover is silicone and opaque, and you can choose from a few different colors. The red variant arrived at our editorial office.

Packing
If we look at the packaging of the protective covers, it is completely typical for Swissten products. The covers are packed in a predominantly white box, where the cover you have chosen is shown on the front, together with the name and type of device for which it is intended. There are also some basic features, as well as on one of the sides. At the back, you will find additional information, together with a description of the product in several languages. The covers are placed inside the box separately and you won't find any other unnecessary things in it, which is definitely ideal. You don't need any documents for the protective cover, and you don't create unnecessary waste. After unpacking, you can simply take the box and throw it in the paper without any worries, which will be used for recycling.

Processing
Since the covers reviewed are different from each other, we will look at the processing of each cover separately below. As already mentioned, we received iPhone XS covers that are identical to iPhone X covers. Each of the reviewed covers has a different use and I think you will definitely choose your favorite, even considering the very low a price that seems unbeatable compared to other online stores. In general, the processing of all covers is at a perfect level and I had no problem with anything.
MagStick
The Swissten MagStick protective cover is probably the most interesting of all the covers, thanks to the fact that it can equip your older iPhone with MagSafe technology. Of course, this is not a full-fledged technology, but on the other hand, thanks to the magnets, you can use practically every MagSafe accessory - whether it's holders, chargers or power banks. It is only necessary to take into account that you will continue to work with 7.5 watts when charging, which is offered by classic Qi wireless charging. The MagStick cover will not support 15 watt MagSafe charging, but that is the only drawback. Otherwise, this cover is completely transparent, all the holes are cut precisely and the magnets hold very firmly. The case is slightly raised around the camera, so surrender to possible damage to it, in addition, the case has raised edges, so it also protects the display. In the corners, the material is adjusted for a better distribution of energy during a fall. The price of the cover is 349 crowns.

Clear Jelly
The second cover reviewed is the Swissten Clear Jelly, which is completely ordinary and will not excite you, but on the other hand, it will definitely not disappoint. It is therefore a classic transparent cover, which in my opinion has the ideal thickness to hold well, but at the same time to provide sufficient protection in the event of a fall. Compared to the aforementioned MagStick cover, the Clear Jelly cover is therefore much less thick, which may be important for some. The cutouts in this cover are also well made and you can look forward to a raised edge around the camera and display, so the device is protected in this respect as well. So, if you are looking for a simple and cheap cover, where the design of your iPhone will stand out, then this is the right one. The price of the cover is 149 crowns.

Soft Joy
The Swissten Soft Joy protective cover is the last cover in the series. We have this cover available in red in the editorial office - and I have to say that I was really surprised by it. I think I have never seen a red cover that has such a strong and rich color. The red color used on this cover is really perhaps the most red possible. In addition to red, Swissten has Soft Joy covers available in dark blue, pink, black and gray, so if you like this type, you will definitely choose your favorite color. In terms of processing, this cover is of high quality – the cutouts are processed smoothly and accurately, the buttons are pressed well. The cover is slightly raised around the camera, so it protects it, so the cover also has raised edges, which protects the display. In the lower part of the cover there is a discreet Swissten branding. The price of the cover is 279 crowns.

Personal experience
I tested all the above-mentioned covers on the inverter for several weeks and, as you can probably guess, I had no problems with them. Apart from the fact that the clear covers will turn yellow over time, I'm not sure if there is any downside to the cover at all - if it's well made, of course. The Clear Jelly and Soft Joy covers are intended for ordinary individuals who are looking for a simple cover, either transparent or colored, for little money. The most interesting of course is the MagStick, which will add MagSafe support to your older iPhone. Personally, I fell in love with this option and I definitely appreciate the fact that I can start using MagSafe accessories, for example in the form of a car holder or a power bank that clips onto the back of the iPhone and charges the device. The only downside to the MagStick cover is that it's relatively rough compared to the Clear Jelly and Soft Joy, but it's nothing you won't get used to. The covers otherwise hold very well in the hand and you have no problem using classic wireless charging with them.
