Omnicase 2 & ; 2 Pro – Usage and Performance
Both hubs are relatively compact for the number of ports they provide, and can be carried in your pocket if necessary. However, we recommend storing the Omnicase 2 in a bag, as if dropped, the magnetic compartment may break and your adapters and cards may fall apart.
A quick drop test confirms this, and a few knocks on the case reveal that the Omnicase 2 is a bit hollow inside and mostly plastic, so we recommend keeping it safe while in transit.
However, this is a portable set of products considering that you can fit so many things in this space.
Both Omnicases handle heat well, even though both models have plenty of ports. This is especially important since users don't want the SD and TF cards inside to get damaged.
A notable detail is that port descriptions are provided at the bottom of the hub, which can help differentiate the charging port from the USB-C port intended for the host device.

The HDMI and DisplayPort ports work well, and the Pro has the added potential of mirroring your MacOS device to other monitors or projectors. Another benefit of the Pro is the additional USB-C port, which we used a lot on our keyboard during our review.
Even in the regular version, the adapters included with the Omnicase 2 can help convert your devices from USB-C to USB-A or micro-USB. The 90 degree adapter is also very useful for making the most of your desk space.
The Ethernet port provides decent speeds and does what it should.
