Set to ship June 24, the Armor Series case is dust proof, drop proof, waterproof, and apparently crush proof. No word on how much it will cost, but I'd been hoping Otterbox would have something new that offered increased protection while hopefully not adding any bulk. Otterbox has been one of the big smartphone accessory success stories but it has faced increased competition from upstarts like Lifeproof that have put out more durable, slimmer cases that are also waterproof.
The Armor Series has a waterproof "thermal plastic shell" and a "medical-grade" stainless-steel latch. It'll also be interesting to see how the headphone jack is designed and whether you'll be able to plug in a standard headphone plug. OtterBox is probably testing the waters before committing to accessories and new colors. There is a wrist strap to make carrying the case a bit easier, although it's probably just easier to stuff it into one of the pockets on your pants.
Nor did I really feel like subjecting my personal phone to a foot drop. I did, however, check the watertightness of the case. As advertised, it was easily able to withstand being held about six inches underwater for 30 minutes with no problems. However, when I left it in that same six inches of water for three hours, there was a slight leakage resulting in water coming into the case. Moral of the story?
Don't try to exceed the advertised specifications. Since the Armor Series has been subjected to testing to US military standards, I have no doubt that it will be able to handle the other tests as well. Sign up. Latest Reviews. See all articles. Sande It is heavy duty and seems durable.
I do not want any major mishaps to happen with his phone, because we all know how expensive new phones can be, but I am confident that this case will provide all the necessary protection if something does happen, so that he can use this phone for a long time! It does make the phone heavier, which some people may not like, my husband however looks at it as a sign of the durability of the case.
The fact that it meets military standards is a plus as well. Overall it was a great buy and I would definitely recommend this case to others. Skip to main content. About this product. Open box.
