For the past few weeks, I’ve been putting the Vault case for the Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm), model number ACS08610, through its paces. This matte black case promises robust protection with a stylish design, and I’m here to share my in-depth experience.

The Vault case boasts a number of features designed to protect your Apple Watch. The raised bezel around the screen is a welcome addition, providing crucial protection against scratches from accidental drops or bumps. The sandstone texture feels great in the hand, offering a secure grip that prevents slips. The precision cutouts are perfectly aligned, ensuring easy access to all buttons and features of the watch. Installation and removal are incredibly simple thanks to the flexible TPU material.

In terms of performance, the Vault case has exceeded my expectations. The TPU material is surprisingly durable, absorbing minor impacts with ease. I’ve accidentally knocked my watch against various surfaces, and the case has consistently protected the screen and watch body from damage. The grip provided by the textured surface is noticeable and appreciated, particularly when using the watch during physical activity. The case also doesn’t impede the functionality of the watch in any way; the touchscreen remains responsive, and all buttons are easily accessible.

However, I did notice a very slight increase in the size of the watch, though it’s hardly noticeable and acceptable given the level of protection it offers. The matte black finish is prone to dust and fingerprints but cleaning it is simple with a microfiber cloth.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent protection, comfortable grip, easy installation and removal, stylish design, maintains watch functionality.
• Cons: Slightly increases watch size, matte black finish shows fingerprints and dust.

Overall, the Vault case for the Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm) – ACS08610 – provides a compelling combination of robust protection, stylish design, and ease of use. While the minor drawbacks are present, they are easily outweighed by the significant advantages. If you are looking for a reliable and aesthetically pleasing case for your Apple Watch, I highly recommend this one. It has proven to be a worthy investment in protecting my device.
