CES 2013: Phone cases go military

At the Consumer Electronics Show currently taking place in Las Vegas, Optrix, designer of rugged sports video cases for smartphones, has unveiled the XD5, a wide-angle camera case for the iPhone 5.

According to Optrix, the XD5 is capable of withstanding all conditions, including earth shattering drops and drenching downpours while still delivering superior video capturing capabilities and access to all controls. Optrix’s XD5 camera case is made with a thinner, lighter and stronger body when compared to the acclaimed XD Sports Case, but possesses an even higher waterproof rating. In addition, the XD5 incorporates a second door to access charging connectors and headphone jack, has an interchangeable lens system and can be removed from the mounting system. ‚”Optrix delivered the industry’s first action camera case for iPhone 4/4S and we are now unveiling the first for iPhone 5,‚” said John Willenborg, founder of Optrix. ‚”Our new line of products reinforces our commitment to providing video capturing solutions that meet and exceed the needs of every extreme athlete.‚”
