In case you missed it, there was a small press conference earlier this week from a little-known tech company out on the west coast. Apple, you heard of them? Of course you have. And their annual phone releases are something I think the whole world is aware of. Well, with new phones come new cases. We mentioned one earlier this week in leather; but what about non-leather options. Did you know Pelican has some ready for the new phones?
You may know of Pelican for their hard cases that normally protect expensive audio and video gear, but did you know they also make stuff for phones? They also make a bunch of bags and flashlights, but that?s another story. Today, we?re talking about the four new iPhone cases they announced.
We’ve got all the spec rundowns (and links) down below, but let’s talk at a high level what they’re offering. First up is the Pelican Rogue, which looks sort of similar to a generic iPhone case. Basic single piece wraps around the phone, protects the delicate bits. Rather than silicone, however, it relies on rubber, and is available in three colors (though why anyone would not want the glow-in-the-dark version is beyond me). This one will run you $30 direct from Pelican or over at Amazon.
Next up, you’ve got the Pelican Mogul which, I’ll admit, probably is a lot better for a business setting than the glow-in-the-dark Rogue. This one starts with the rubber enclosure, and then wraps another layer of protection around things in the form of polycarbonate. This one runs for $40, again direct from Pelican or over at Amazon.
What’s that, you say you’re on the road a lot, and need even better protection? Well, friend, how about the $50 Pelican Traveler? This one has not one, not two, but three layers of protection for you, and a stitching-like pattern around the edges to give you some extra grip. Again, available direct or on Amazon.
Finally, we’ve got the case that I think a lot of people will be interested in – the Pelican Protector EMS. This starts with a great case to protect your phone that has an integrated magnetic mount (to hold it on your car vent, say). Then, it goes a step further and bundles in a magnetic battery that will juice up your phone via Qi (sort of like this case we talked about the other week). Not only that, the battery pack itself features a USB port so you can charge something up via a wire as well. This one is easily the star of the show, as the asking price of $80 gets you the case and the easily detachable battery (charge when you need it, you know). Pricing looks like it might be a touch lower over on Amazon.
So, there you have it – my take on these new releases. I’ve put the bulleted spec list for each below; if you’ve got any specific questions on these, let me know, and we’ll get in touch with the brand and find out what’s what. pelican.com
