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.

Griffin Announces New iPad 3rd Gen Cases, Available Now

Griffin has announced its not so new lineup cases for the new ipad 3rd gen including the ever so tough Survivor case. At $80, the Survivor is Griffin’s most protective iPad case yet, designed to meet and even exceed US military standards. The Survivor features a shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame, clad in rugged, shock-absorbing silicone and comes with a clip-on stand for typing and viewing pleasure. This combination of materials protects against dirt, sand, rain, shock, vibration, and a host of other environmental factors thanks to built-in port covers and a built-in screen protector. The case is available in Pink and Black right now along with a few of Griffin's other new iPad case offerings like the InteliCase at $60. 

The IntelliCase is a folio style case that features a hard polycarbonate back shell with a protective Smart Cover-like flexible front cover that folds up into a stand for multiple uses. It's available now in four colors for both the iPad 2 and the new iPad 3rd gen. Despite the fact that the new iPad is slightly thicker than the iPad 2, many case manufactures insist that their current cases made for the Pad 2 will fit just fine.
