The Catalyst iPhone Case
Introducing the Catalyst iPhone 6 case – the protective accessory that could make all others obsolete! At first glance, spending between £60 and £70 on a protective case for your phone is a serious investment, but this isn’t just any phone case – The Catalyst case offers a serious security mod for your iPhone.
Dubbed ‘the most protective case in the world’ by the manufacturers—a bold statement—it boasts an impressive list of features and is certainly a far cry from the cheap plastic cases that can be bought at those ‘fix your phone’ kiosks in shopping centres; the Catalyst is an investment in the security of your handset.
The case is designed to give maximum protection without affecting usability – not so easy with touch screen devices. It is guaranteed waterproof up to 5 metres and has met ‘military testing requirements’ for drops of up to 2 metres – although it’s assumed these drops will be made in peace time…
Air and watertight acoustic membranes ensure the sound remains clear, and a hard coated optical lens is designed to prevent clogging with dust/sand etc and allows the user to capture sharp photographs, unaffected by the extra cover.
Most importantly of all, the makers of the Catalyst case claim that the touch screen itself is not obstructed in any way and full functionality is assured, with access to all the device’s controls—including the fingerprint function. From my testing I can confirm that this is the case.
The Verdict
Again, the Catalyst cases aren’t cheap, but with the ever increasing sophistication of mobile devices such as the iPhone 6, the protective accessories are also becoming evermore innovative. These cases feature unrivalled protection for your iPhone without compromising functionality. When also considering the cost of replacing the latest top end mobile device, the price tag of the Catalyst case suddenly seems like a much better investment.
