Earlier today we looked at a waterproof case for the iPhone 5S, and now it’s time for a waterproof Galaxy Note 3 case. This one is called the Seidio Obex, and it’s an adaption of the well-received design we first stocked for the Galaxy S4.
The Obex provides IP68 rated protection against water and dust, allowing it to resist dust indefinitely and resist water at a depth of two metres for extended periods. The case also boasts impressive protection against drops and other impacts, and exceeds the MIL-STD-810F standard by surviving two metre drops at multiple angles. These attributes make it difficult for your smartphone to be damaged during regular use; you’d have to really try hard to lose it!
Of course, sealing your phone in a block of lead would also make it pretty resistant to water and drops – but obviously you’d lose a lot of usability! Thankfully, the Obex has also been designed to add relatively little bulk to your Note 3, ensuring you can still fit it in your pocket easily. The screen also remains fully usable, and port covers throughout allow you to listen to music on headphones or charge your phone without bother.
The Obex looks like a great case for anyone that is worried about damage to their phone – just clip it on, then relax in the knowledge that your phone will be kept out of harm’s way. You can drop your phone in the sink, leave it on the beach or slide off the desk and you’ll still be just fine.
The Seidio Obex will be available for the Galaxy Note 3 in the weeks ahead. For the latest pricing and availability information, you can always check the product page linked below — we’re also likely to let our followers on Twitter and Facebook when it comes in stock, so be sure to follow either of these for word of new releases.
Thanks for checking out the article, and have a great weekend ahead!
