Catalyst Intros Waterproof Cases for iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and Apple Watch Series 2
It feels like yesterday when Apple introduced their latest mobile devices, the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and Apple Watch Series 2, to the world. Earlier this month, Catalyst Case, one of the best names in iPhone and iPad protection, followed suit and announced their complementary products, the Catalyst® case for the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and both sizes of the new Apple Watch. Even though the new iPhone 7 phones have a water-resistant ingress protection rating of 67, this IP rating doesn’t make them waterproof. For that, you have to step up to IP68. I don’t know about you but when I’m poolside and hear the word ‘Cannonball.‘ I quickly get my mobile devices out of harm’s way. It’s even worse when lounging at the beach or working at a construction site. Now, you don’t have to worry about dust, dirt, and sand. With the latest products from Catalyst, you no longer have to worry these elements getting into your device. Your iPhone 7 and Watch 2 are protected.
According to CEO June Lai, “Catalyst has developed a new line of waterproof cases that sets a new industry leading standard for total protection. Our latest products offer the highest level of waterproof protection using our proprietary air and water tight case construction featuring our True Sound Acoustics that allow clear audio transmission over a frequency range of 50Hz to 20,000Hz. Our solutions protect your device from all the elements.”
Per Chief Creative Officer Josh Wright, “I am incredibly proud of the products our team has developed and brought to market over the last several years. Our latest creations are hands down the most high performance, rugged, everyday cases that we’ve ever made. But we do more than protect. Catalyst enables people to take and use their devices at the beach, snowboarding or skiing, in turbulent weather and in rough and dirty work environments. I’m excited to introduce this new line of products to the market.”
