(NAPSI)—Staying connected to the world through your smartphone is becoming an imperative today. That means having the freedom to take your device to the beach, use it in the kitchen, out in the rain, on your bike or with the kids. New products are now available that make it possible for you to use your smartphone in all your daily activities. The Technology Smartphones are rapidly replacing single-function devices such as MP3 players, DVD players, Netbook PCs, GPS units, gaming devices and video cameras. Meanwhile, software developers have created thousands of applications that replace even more devices. The Challenge What that means, however, is that you will want to be able to use all these great functions and apps every day without restriction. Whether it is hiking, working out in the gym or playing with the kids, you want to be able to listen to music, browse the Internet and communicate with family, friends and work. However, these devices can be very susceptible to damage from impacts, abrasions, water, snow, dust, sand, work hazards, mishandling and general use in everyday life. An Answer In response, a new breed of case has recently emerged that offers full protection in a sleek design while maintaining access to all device functions. This LifeProof iPhone 4/4S case provides complete protection against water, shock, dirt and snow and has a sleek low profile that barely increases the size of your mobile phone. So you can use the phone as a GPS system on a bike or a boat or an HD video camera on a snowmobile. Swim laps in the pool, bike through rugged terrain, drive cross-country on a motorcycle, all while having full access to every smartphone function. It’s especially easy with such LifeProof in Motion accessories as bike and bar mounts, a belt clip, an armband/swimband and an adapter for GoPro mounts.
