Press Release
Seidio is Now Offering its OBEX® Waterproof Case for the Apple iPhone 6 Plus
Seidio incorporated its innovative new technology, Hexguard, into the OBEX for added impact protection
HOUSTON – December 23, 2014 – Seidio, a leader in professional mobile accessories, announces the availability of the OBEX for Apple iPhone 6 Plus. The most extreme case in the company’s collection, the OBEX is developed to defend against water, snow, dirt, dust, and drops. In this version, Seidio incorporated its Hexguard technology, a honey-comb shaped pattern on the thermoplastic urethane back interior, for added shock and impact absorption for a truly durable case.
Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or an extreme sportsman, the OBEX keeps the iPhone 6 Plus safe and dry against multiple elements. It is waterproof, and can survive complete submersion in 6.6 feet of liquid for 30 minutes. The OBEX is also military-tested to withstand drops up to six feet so the user can feel confident on the trails or any rough landscape.
The tightly sealed barriers of the OBEX keep dust and dirt from damaging the device, and it also safeguards against temperature shocks. Despite the heavy-duty protection, the user can enjoy full functionality of the smartphone as the integrated rubber flaps that protect the audio and charging ports can easily be removed. Additionally, Seidio’s patent pending sound tunneling technology permits waterproof membranes to block water, but still allows sound to travel through for clear audio.
The most delicate part of the iPhone 6 Plus is the screen, and Seidio’s integrated screen protector is the ultimate barrier against daily wear-and-tear. A 4H hardness rating means that it will shield against scratches, yet it maintains full touch sensitivity.
Finally, users can choose to use the OBEX with an optional holster with an integrated locking mechanism to secure device in place. It also features a removable belt-clip that can also be used with Seidio’s QUEST™ Mounting System, which includes an Armband, Bike Mount, and Car Mount.
