- Hey guys, Andru Edwards here,
editor-in-chief of GearLive.com,
and a lot of people are
under the impression
that the iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 plus
are waterproof,
despite the fact that Apple
never claimed them to be.
In fact, what Apple did say
is that they're IP67 certified
and what that means is,
is they can withstand being
under up to one meter of water,
for up to 30 minutes without
any damage occurring.
But the question is, is there a way
to actually make your
iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 plus
even more waterproof than it already is?
And the answer is yes, using
the Ghostek Atomic 3 case.
The Ghostek Atomic 3 case is waterproof
in up to 1.2 meters of
water for up to 30 minutes.
So you're not going to be
scuba diving with your iPhone 7
with this thing, but you can rest assured
that if you drop it in water,
and can't get to it right away,
it'll be okay within those parameters
and even then, if water does start
to get in through the case,
your iPhone 7's IP67
water resistance rating
then takes effect as well.
Now generally, I don't like
cases and I don't use them.
They're bulky and heavy,
and in the past 10 years,
I've only dropped and damaged my iPhone
literally one time.
However, the Atomic 3
actually addresses the things
I don't like about cases.
First, it's got a metal frame
that's made of aluminum,
making it nice and light.
Second, and to me more importantly,
it's super thin.
It's 11.2 millimeters thin,
making it one of the thinnest
waterproof cases that
you'll find out there
on the market today.
And as you can see, I can put the iPhone 7
into a sink full of water with confidence.
After 10 minutes, I removed
it and dried off the outside
so we could check and
see if it got wet at all
on the inside.
And as you can see, it's totally fine.
Aside from the waterproof factor,
this case is also shock,
dust, and snow proof as well.
You should also know
that the screen protector
on the front of the display
obviously allows you
to still control the touch display
but it also works with the
fingerprint scanner as well.
You can also fully use the
front and rear cameras,
as well as access every
port on the device.
And to reiterate, this isn't just meant
to protect your iPhone 7 from liquid.
It's actually a shock and
drop proof case as well,
and it's two times the military
standard for drop tests.
The Ghostek Atomic 3 case
is available now for $54.95
on Amazon for the iPhone 7,
and $59.95 for the iPhone 7 plus.
It's available in six
colors, which include
black, gold, red, pink, teal, and silver.
Now I wanna hear what you think.
Would you add that extra
layer of protection
to your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 plus?
Or, do you prefer to keep it naked?
Let me know in the comments below
and I'll meet you there
for further discussion.
