Since the form factor on the iPhone has largely remained the same – until the larger screen and thinner body of the iPhone 5 – case manufacturers have had great success offering cases for the single-model. Android and other smartphones, however, have very different form factors, and therefore don’t have as many options. This is why it’s great to see the MarineCase II, a universal-sized waterproof hard case for large screen smartphones.
The MarineCase II is IP58 certified against sand and water intrusion. It protects against water, sand and dust. It is shock and impact resistant against scratches, dents and screen shatter. The case can go up to 20 feet – or six meters – under water and capture video while being submerged. Manufacturer Concord Keystone makes the MarineCase II with a high-impact polycarbonate, integrated with a silicone surface for even more protection. The case is shock and impact-proof for drops and bumps.
Keystone ECO advises that this is not your everyday case that you’ll keep on your phone. They do say that it’s for “those circumstances when smartphones need extra-strength protection. We advise the case for use in water sports, snow sports, but also any activity where you may worry about your phone. This can take your attention away from protecting your phone and let you focus on your sport or other activity. Keystone Eco sells the MarineCase II for $49.99.
