LifeProof FRĒ

This sleek smartphone case can be submerged in water for a whole hour in more than 6 feet of water, not to mention it’s shockproof with built­in scratch protection for your touchscreen. It’s tested by Military Standard to take a beating and will easily fit in your pocket.

Griffin Survivor All­Terrain

Offers four layers of protection and an anti­scratch screen shield. This weather­resistant phone case is Military Standard tested — with 6.6­foot drop protection — and customizable so you can create your own look.

Otterbox Defender

A long­standing favorite in heavy duty cell phone cases, the Otterbox is nearly indestructible. It stands up to major drops (like off buildings), with dust, screen and scratch protection.

Trident Kraken A.M.S.

This phone case is ready to hit the unpaved path on your next outdoor adventure. It’s Military Standard tested for drop, vibration, sand and rain protection — and sports a built- in kickstand. You can buy gadget accessories, like a windshield or bike mount, and it’s even antimicrobial.

Under Armor Gear

Also up to Military Standard specs, this feather­light cell phone case is rugged, protecting your phone from big drops, water and scratches. Over­sized grips on an armor shell covers the impact­resistant soft core. Check out the UAG Rogue Folio model that also holds up to three credit cards or your ID, like a multi­purpose wallet that can save you cash by keeping your expensive smartphone safe.
