Wiping away dirt, dust and mud from ripping around in the bush is about to get easier for dirt bike enthusiasts following the announcement of a new glass weapon in slim water and drop proof iPhone 6S protective technology.

Australian-based technology company, Dog & Bone, has announced a new slim, protective case featuring a first-of-its-kind pairing for the new iPhone 6S with a flexible glass impact screen of the world’s highest impact standard.

The Wetsuit Impact for iPhone 6S/6 and for the 6S Plus/6 Plus is water, shock, dirt and sand proof to help withstand the knocks and bumps on your next bike trail. The case exceeds tough Military Standards (MIL STD 810G), can withstand drops of 6.6 feet and is waterproof to two metres. It has an Ingress Protection rating of 68 – the highest level of water and dust making it ideal for dirt bike fanatics.

The case blends the highest standard impact screen protection – 9H – with sophisticated protective technology, style and function. The flexible glass screen is finished with a high performance coating for resisting fingerprints, smudges, scratches, and for touch screen sensitivity and clarity.

While a premium rubber overmolded bumper adds a second durable layer of protection, it also provides for a better grip, so you can keep a firm hold while shooting raw footage of your friends landing a jump or cutting tracks through the forest.

Lee Ranchod, Dog & Bone’s Founder and Director, says the new Wetsuit Impact reflects the company’s mission to deliver all-protective cases to suit the way we live.

“We love to push the boundaries of mobile technology and, by doing so, help to reshape its future,” Mr Ranchod said. “This means listening to consumers and understanding their wants and experiences, and using the knowledge to develop innovative products that make available features and benefits previously not afforded.

“We know consumers want slim protection that is both functional and looks good. Two other priorities our customers have repeatedly told us they love when it comes to mobile protection is all-weather protection, and impact screen protection. It was an obvious choice, then, for us to ‘marry the two’ together,” he said.

As well as providing added screen protection, Mr Ranchod said the flexible glass screen provided added benefits of touch screen sensitivity and maintained screen clarity.

“Dirt and grime easily wipe clean rather than absorbing into the screen, discolouring it and affecting the user experience – a pet hate of standard pet film coverings,” Mr Ranchod added.

Wetsuit Impact iPhone for 6S/6S Plus will be released this month in three colour options – Blackest Black, Silvertail and Electric Orange with an SRP of USD$79.95 for the iPhone 6S/6 and USD$89.95 for the iPhone 6S Plus/6Plus.
