LifeProof Water Proof Cases Can Take on The World

By Harold Fassett


LifeProof is in the business of protecting Apple iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches. More specifically, they're in the business of protecting these devices against four hazards that want to destroy these wireless devices: water, dirt, snow and shocks.

Owners of Apple's various mobile devices love their gadgets so much that they want to take them everywhere. Everywhere includes in the pool, on the surfboard, while snorkeling and while yachting. However, if that iPad gets dunked into a chlorine-filled pool without a case, the next place it will go with its owner is into a repair shop.

LifeProof's incredible waterproof cases protect devices against simple hazards, like rain and spilled coffee, or iced tea, along with serious hazards, like oceans and Olympic swimming pools. Not only are the wireless devices protected underwater, they can actually still be used to send text messages, take pictures, record video and even listen to music. LifeProof makes companion waterproof headphones for users to listen to music while sitting at the bottom of a pool.

Beaches and mountainsides are also places where LifeProof cases thrive. The cases are specifically designed to seal the mobile device off against any type of intruding sand, dirt or dust. That means an iPhone can be used by a mountain biker as a GPS device without the cyclist needing to worry that all the road dirt might damage the device or scratch the delicate iPhone screen.

Other types outdoor sports that LifeProof has in mind for its customers include skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. If a wipe out into a six-foot snowdrift or a wayward pine tree occurs, one can still easily use his or her iPhone to dial 911 or the ski patrol. While making a call for help might not be nearly as fun as shooting underwater videos, it's still nice to know that the LifeProof cases are designed to be snow and ice-proof.

For the iPhone user who never pours water onto his phone, goes mountain biking, buries it inside a sandcastle or drops it into a snowdrift, it's still nice to know that LifeProof cases, like most top cell phone case brands, protect against the basic fumbles and drops of everyday life. Whether it's bumped off of a table or dropped down the stairs, LifeProof can take it.

Along with it's slim unassuming design, LifeProof cases for Apple products meet or exceed two important protection standards: Military Standard 810F-516 and the Ingress Protection 68. The first standard refers to the ability to withstand abuse in a number of watery, sandy or snowy environments.

The second standard refers to protection against solid objects and liquids. The "6" in 68 means that a device inside a LifeProof case could sit inside a cloud of talcum powder for eight hours without ever letting in a speck of dust. The "8" in 68 means that the device can sit at the bottom of more than 6.5 feet of water for half an hour without any damage.
