Project Details

Standard cases are not waterproof and are easily broken when dropped restricting their usefulness. We developed a series of generations of iPhone, iPod and iPad cases and subsequently, cases for other smart phone brands models.

We developed the fully enclosed LifeProof Fré case with a specialised coated flexible film front. After a couple of generations of Fré, we designed and engineered the premium nüüd series with no film between the screen and the user.

We embraced the challenge to develop a case solution that was very minimal, slim line and stylish to complement the beauty of the objects they protect, while guaranteeing the highest level of durability and protection for a piece of technology. We engineered the case design to meet US Military MIL-STD-810G specification.
