Durably Waterproof Smartphone Cases

The Preserver Series Waterproof Cases are Built Strong

— February 14, 2014 — Tech
OtterBox has created the preserver series smartphones cases for the iPhone 5, 5S and the Samsung Galaxy S4. The iPhone 5C version is said to be released at a later date. The preserver case uses the classic OtterBox aesthetics to transform the mobile device into a waterproof, drop-proof device. The case still allows for full button and port protection, plus permanent film over the screen to keep its durability.

The preserver series is mostly made of plastic but it has augmented soft foam that is inserted along the back plate. Once you place your phone in the front tray, the back will snap at six different points. The case offers sleep/wake and volume buttons. Waterproof membranes allow the audio to run in and out of the respective mics and speakers. The preserver series is ultimately a sturdy, sharp and sophisticated smartphone case perfect for any active individual.
