Enough days have passed since the one in which I unboxed the new Apple TV and I presented the main news that Apple had included in it. As you know, the device has the same shape as its predecessors, although it has grown a little in height due to the heat sink that has to have inside by the increased power of the A8 chip that it carries.
As for the remote control, it is an evolution of the aluminum Apple Remote and is renamed Siri Remote. A remote control made in this case with white aluminum and black glass on its surface. It has five buttons, a microphone and a touch surface on the upper front.
The user experience provided by the new interface of the XNUMXth generation Apple TV It is very good but for the time that I have been using the remote control, the only thing that worries me is that it will fall from my hands to the ground and finish with its glass surface in a thousand pieces.
Keep in mind that we can get this command loose in the Apple Store online at the chilling figure of $89 if we are unlucky it will spoil us. However Apple has realized that this remote is very elusive and has also launched a strap that It is connected to the lightning charging connector and then hooked to our wrist.
This strap has been called Remote loop and it is very similar to what we saw with the arrival of the fifth generation iPod touch that has finally ended up being discontinued. The Remote Loop is priced at 15 euros in the Apple Store itself online.
Now, the fact that we have this strap does not mean that the remote cannot accidentally fall to the ground and it is that we will not have the remote hooked on the wrist at all times. That is why I decided to search the net for some feasible and cheap option for a cover for this remote. The fact is that after searching a bit in the different online stores that exist I arrived at the well-known Aliexpress where I was able to order a silicone case which makes my precious Siri Remote protected as it should.
The price of this silicone case is lower than that of the Remote Loop and shipping costs are free. The price can range between 9,47 and 11,36 euros depending on the quantity we order. There is the possibility of ordering it in photoluminescent colors.
As you can see, it is a very good option to have your Siri Remote except for possible drops that make you have to shell out a large amount of money to buy a new one.
The only thing is that you have to wait 3 months for it to arrive, and before 3 months there will be more covers in Amazon, even for this month or December others are on sale.
