Admittedly, looks matter when it comes to choosing cases for our iPhones. We also consider the cost. For P150, you can already get a cute phone case.
When it comes to iPhone protection, the brands OtterBox and LifeProof come to mind. When I got my iPhone 6, I purchased an expensive case (an Otterbox Defender) for the first time and it lasted for a year until I got tired of it. During that year, I dropped my phone twice without any damage, minor or major, on my phone.
OtterBox and LifeProof have recently launched a full lineup of cases for the Phone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X.
OtterBox is the top-selling smartphone case in the United States. It has set the standard for smartphone protection. It has a full lineup of cases for the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone X.
Starting with Defender Series, OtterBox has innovated 26 different case styles for iPhone over the past decade. Oh, and if looks are very important, Otterbox collaborates with designers on colors and trends. I read somewhere WGSN, Stylus, Pantone, Clariant and PolyOne provide insights on trends and consult with the OtterBox designers so that colors are vibrant and attractive to customers.
Worth noting is that each OtterBox is chosen not just for its look. Each iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X case design has gone through a minimum of 24 tests across more than 238 hours to earn the OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection seal. These tests ensure lasting protection from drops, bumps, scratches and dings.
Here is the lineup of OtterBox cases for the new iPhones:
- The fashionable Symmetry Series is sleek with a raised, beveled edge that provides extra protection for the touchscreen during facedown drops. Available in classic solids, trendy graphics, fully clear and clear graphics, it’s the perfect fashion statement.
- The Pursuit Series guards against drop, dust, dirt and snow intrusion, perfect for an outdoor adventure or average day in the office. This two-piece case snaps around each device for a perfect fit. The open-face design seals directly to the display and the case includes an optional lanyard.
- Defender Series is the original protective case for iPhone with 10 years of design and development behind it. The rugged multilayer case features a shell and outer slipcover to absorb and dissipate shock.
- Two form-fitting layers combine to create the thin, protective Commuter Series. The outer shell and inner slipcover combine to pull shock away from the device, and port covers keep debris out.
- Strada Series Folio offers a luxurious 100-percent genuine leather cover and trusted protection. The folio front clasps securely closed with a magnet to guard the display from scratches and includes a card slot.
- The uniVERSE Case System features a slim, protective OtterBox case with a modular rail mount on the back that allows attachment of a variety of accessories. OtterBox has partnered with other industry leaders to enhance uniVERSE with accessories like a contactless card reader, additional storage, bike mounts, tripods, wallets and more.
- Keep the touchscreen brilliant with Alpha Glass fortified screen guards. Compatible with Symmetry Series, Pursuit Series, Commuter Series, Strada Series Folio and uniVERSE Case System, these screen guards protect from scratches and complete device protection.
Symmetry Series, Pursuit Series, Defender Series, Commuter Series, uniVERSE Case System, Strada Series Folio and Alpha Glass screen guards are available now for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
LifeProof, which OtterBox has acquired, makes sleek and ultraprotective iPhone cases. It has expanded its lineup of cases with NËXT and SLAM, two next-generation LifeProof cases that complement water-resistant devices, available now for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus and coming soon for iPhone X.
“LifeProof changed the iPhone protection game with its industry-leading waterproof cases,” OtterBox and LifeProof CEO Jim Parke said. “Now, even those who don’t need a waterproof case can experience LifeProof protection with the introduction of NËXT and SLAM. With the features available in today’s iPhones, sometimes all you need is a thin, light case that protects from drops and dirt. NËXT delivers that in style without sacrificing the quality we’re known for.”
NËXT has six layers of protection in an ultra-sleek package to keep the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X safe from drops, dirt and snow. The two-piece outer shell wraps securely around the phone and delivers maximum durability and drop defense. A raised bevel bolsters drop and touchscreen protection while the display is left uncovered for direct access to the glass. A clear outer layer prevents scuffs, scrapes and scratches, and an inner lining seals the case and phone from dirt. An audio-transparent mesh covers the speakers to block dust and debris while audio flows freely.
NËXT protects from drops up to 2 meters, carries an IP5X rating for blocking dirt and dust and keeps snow out. It is available in four colors—Black, Beach Pebble, Seaside and Cactus Rose—and is also compatible with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
SLAM, engineered to withstand drops of up to 2 meters while maintaining a slim profile, combines sport, style and safety for the iPhone. A transparent shell reveals iPhone’s factory finish while the perimeter flashes one of four available color aoptions—Night Flash, Lava Chaser, Aloha Sunset and Free Flow—and is also compatible with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. NËXT and SLAM for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are available now. Suggested retail price for the NËXT iPhone 8 and iPhone X cases is P3,490 and P3,990 for the iPhone 8 Plus. Suggested retail price for the SLAM iPhone 8 and iPhone X cases is P2,490 and P2,990 for the iPhone 8 Plus
