Remember the EscapeCapsul waterproof case by a company called Catalyst we reported about long ago? Probably not. Well, as it turns out Griffin decided against developing its own in-house waterproof case, that it would be a fun time joining forces with Catalyst to introduce a new waterproof Survivor case for the iPhone 5. Like the iPhone 4 version, Griffin's Survivor + Catalyst waterproof case is unique thanks to its translucent design and colorful elements. We're big fans of the standard Survivor case for Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod touch so naturally we're excited to see Griffin introduce a co-developed and fully functional waterproof iPhone 5 case that promises to be the easiest to use and submersible down to 10 feet -  yet good enough to be used as a daily driver.

Griffin's tough, drop and water-protective Survivor waterproof case for the iPhone 5 features shock-absorbing interior TPU bumpers, a rigid clear polycarbonate shell and it also includes a wrist lanyard. It'll come in four colors for $80 when it becomes available at the end of January.
