LifeProof Cases Covers for iPhone 4
Accidents happen, and there comes a time when you want to protect your iPhone4 smartphone. A strong case or cover can work to provide varying degrees of protection based on options selected and desired. The protection of a phone can be accomplished by selecting the proper size, fit, and buffering material.
How do you select a LifeProof Case?You might consider the following selection criteria when choosing a specific LifeProof Case.
- Select material: The choices in material are a rigid plastic housing, rubberized silicone or gel bumper padding, and a clear water-resistant face screen.
- Select style: The two choices are FRE series or Nuud series LifeProof case and cover.
- Select color: Colors include pink, red, blue, black, purple, white, clear, and other two-tone variations. You can also find these colors with different finishes, such as glossy, matte, metallic, patterned, pictorial, or transparent.
- Select accessories: There are several accessories that can be attached to or come with particular models of LifeProof cases. These include a light function, belt clip, and optional battery extension. The battery extension is an enlarged backing pad housing that allows for two batteries to be attached to the phone.
- Battery case: The main housing wraps around the phone and has protective padding to disallow for shock when dropped.
- Fitted skin: The casing has an inner and outer shell. The fitted skin wraps around the phone and should fit snug. The hard shell plastic provides protection for falls up to a specific, certified military standard.
- Bumper housing: Specific to the FRE and Nuud models, a bumper housing protects the corners of the device. Most devices impact the ground on an edge of the device, given the weight distribution.
- Hard plastic: The hard plastic is incorporated with the bumper housing. The hard plastic extends across the back of the case and provides for protection against a drop directly on either of the two flat surfaces of the phone.
- FRE series: A thin skin model that encloses the phone in a bumper housing very similar to the Nuud series. It includes a gasket around the bezel of the front side that provides resistance to water, dirt, and sand.
- Nuud series: IP-68 certified. The case has been tested for immersion in water up to 6.5 feet for one hour. It is also protected to a Military Standard referenced as 810G-516.6.
