LifeProof Announces Waterproof Battery Case and More at CES

by

There’s a lot of news coming out of CES this year and posting all of it would take quite a bit of time, so I guess we have to pick and choose right? I’m choosing one that I thought was unique. We’ve had waterproof cases for a long time but I’ve not seen many waterproof cases with batteries in them to provide extra power. LifeProof announced at CES that they’re launching the fre Power later this year which is a waterproof case but it has an internal 2600 mAh battery to provide extra power as needed for the iPhone 6. The case is waterproof up to 2 meters or about 6.6 feet for up to an hour and it’s also drop proof up to 6.6 feet as well and it’s totally enclosed to keep dirt and snow out as it does have fully sealed port covers. LifeProof also unveiled a new line of accessories like bike and car mounts and belt clips. The official press release is below for you with all the details and links.
