Griffin's Survivor Power Bank Battery Will Outlast Your Precious iPhone

Griffin's new Survivor Power Bank is the company's toughest and most durable portable backup battery pack capable of charging both smartphones and tablets using its internal 10,050 mAh capacity, which can recharge devices such as the iPhone 6s Plus up to three times - while nearly fully charging much larger devices such as the iPad Pro back up to 95%. The Survivor Power Bank features a built-in LED emergency flashlight, and a resilient hard polycarbonate and rubber design that meets military standards for drop, impact, water and dust protection. While it only has a single USB charging port, the Survivor Power Bank is relatively affordable and unlike your smartphone, it's guaranteed by Griffin for life.

Griffin Teams Up With Catalyst, Outs Waterproof Survivor iPhone 5 Case

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.

Tough iPad Mini Cases With Military-Grade Protection

If keeping your iPad mini protected at all costs is a number one priority on your list, then why not let Griffin and Ballistic show you what their latest cases have to offer. First on the list is Ballistic's pricy $60 Ballistic Tough Jacket Series case that features three layers of protection that includes extremely reinforced corners, a layer of silicone interior that helps absorb shock, a layer of impact-resistant hard plastic and a third shock absorbing polymer layer. It also comes with a removable hard plastic snap-on kickstand that can be snapped to the back of the case. Available in black, pink and white.

The Survivor case by Griffin on the other hand is one of our favorite rugged, military-duty cases made for Apple devices. The Survivor case for the iPad mini continues the turtle shell-like armored design that features a sealed built-in screen protector, shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame with thick silicone cladding that'll insure that your iPad mini is protected against drops, shock and impacts. Unlike the Ballistic Tough Jacket case, the Survivor's iconic integrated port covers provide a tight seal against rain, sand and dust to meet military standards. Griffin's iPad mini Survivor case will also set you back $60, but we think it's the better buy out of the two, respectively. Available only in black at this time.

Wacky iPhone 5 Cases For The Kid In You

Griffin's Kazoo and Animal Parade cases for the iPhone 5 are undoubtedly one of the most outrageously fun-tastic! cases you can find for the kid in you. Because we're pretty sure you wouldn't buy your own little child an iPhone 5 now would you. So these must be for the young, the very young at heart. Or then again, for your iPhone 5 wielding 5 year old. Both the $25 Kazoo and $20 Animal Parade series of iPhone 5 cases are made from durable, soft silicone and will provide scratch and knock protection.
