If that rough and tumble life of yours takes you near water, consider the Lifeproof FRĒ. It will protect your new phone from drops and scratches, even if those drops include you falling into a body of water with your phone in your pocket. Or, as most people have already learned the hard way, out of your rear pocket into the toilet. Because when you have to reach into that mess to retrieve your phone, it’s bad enough. If you reach into that to retrieve a phone that’s now dead, it’s adding injury to insult.

If you are going to get a phone case that can protect your phone from bad things, shouldn’t it look bad ass while it does it? We think so. And so does Under Armour Gear. This phone looks like it has been tested by the military, it’s so bad ass. In fact, this phone has been drop-tested by the military. Or rather, since they probably don’t actually do the testing, it exceeds military drop-test standards.

That grippy exterior feels good in your hand. So feel free to take it into whatever action you take on. It can handle it.
