# Life Preserver Phone Cases This Lifeproof Case is Like a Mini Life Jacket to Help Your Phone Float By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-05-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifeproof-case References: [gadgetsin](http://gadgetsin.com/lifeproof-lifejacket-float-iphone-case-for-summer-iphone-55s5c.htm) & [lifeproof](http://www.lifeproof.com/shop/us_en/iphone-5c/lifeproof-lifejacket-float-for-fre-iphone-5-case/) This Lifeproof case is a little on the chunky side, but the LifeJacket Float is actually like suiting your phone up in a [bright orange life jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-x-spongebob) so that it can safely go in the water. The case is designed for iPhone 5, 5s and 5c models and with the option to attach a wrist strap, it's a pretty great way to ensure that your phone will be able to tag along for all of the best summer activities. Without the strap, if the phone does start to float away, its bright coloring still makes it very easy to spot in the water. As well as keeping [iPhones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beats-iphone-17-cases) from sinking and getting wet, the foam Lifeproof case also offers [shock protection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoshield-airx) for any bumps that happen when you're swimming, sailing or fishing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Waterproof Phone Cases:** Creating durable phone cases with additional benefits for water activities can disrupt the phone accessories market. - **Outdoor Technology:** Developing high-tech products that make outdoor activities more accessible and safer can create new opportunities for innovation. - **Adventure Tourism:** Adapting technology to the needs of adventure tourists can offer disruptive solutions that enhance the experience and safety of travelers. ### Where This Applies - **Phone Accessories:** The phone accessories industry could expand by offering waterproof cases with additional features for adventurous users. - **Sporting Goods:** Selling waterproof phone cases in outdoor sporting goods stores can help broaden the product line and attract new customers. - **Tourism:** Companies in the tourism industry can partner with technology firms to develop products that enhance the safety and fun of adventure tourism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Diving-Ready Smartphone Protectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diveroid-universal-lite.md) - [Diving-Friendly Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/divevolk-seatouch-4-max-platinum.md) - [Super Protective Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bounce-case.md) - [Durable Floating Wallet Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planbok-floating-waterproof-wallet.md) - [Fashionable Inflated Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-case-2.md) - [Functional Protective Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-17-cases.md) - [Gorpcore-Inspired Smartphone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-bounce-case.md) - [Rugged Modern Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rugged-protective-case.md) - [Flexible Polymer Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-venture-phone-case.md)
