LifeProof launches LifeJacket case for iPhones

ORLANDO, Fla. — LifeProof has introduced a new protective, waterproof case for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.

The LifeProof LifeJacket, made from high-density foam that is shock, tear and stain resistant, is designed for anyone that uses their iPhone in the water or is looking for increased drop protection, the company said. The buoyant, lightweight case comes in a day-glow orange color to ensure visibility in dense brush or water. What's more, all buttons and features of iPhone are accessible while in the LifeJacket, including speaker and microphone and features a quick-release lanyard and wrist strap can be attached to eyelets on each corner.

"LifeProof encourages people to live life — to swim, surf, ski, hike, bike or play with the kids, all while staying connected. Boaters, fisherman and swimmers have been clamoring for a way to keep their iPhone close in the water to use apps and stay in touch," LifeProof CEO Gary Rayner said. "The LifeJacket not only floats, but it will protect your iPhone from bump and impacts while rock climbing or accidental drops from great heights."

The LifeProof LifeJacket carries a suggested retail price of $39.99.
