The Armor Series is waterproof for 30 minutes in 6.6 ft., survives 10 ft. drops, allows for zero entry of dust and debris and can withstand two tons of crushing force. We know how heavy the burden of a damaged device can be, which is why we don’t take protection lightly. The Armor Series outperforms what was ever thought possible for a smartphone case. It’s the toughest case ever built.
before it became synonymous with heavy-duty iPhone protection, OtterBox was known for its hard plastic, device-agnostic, waterproof boxes. The company's subsequent iPhone cases have remained some of the most protective around for daily use, but waterproofing fell by the wayside some years ago. With Armor Series Case for iPhone 5 ($100) -- also available for iPhone 4/4S -- OtterBox has returned to its prior core competency. Pitched as "the toughest case ever built," the waterproof, drop-proof, dust-proof, and crush-proof case still allows you to enjoy full interaction with your device. But in addition to its sky-high price, it forces you to answer one big practical question up front: are you willing to turn your iPhone into a brick to keep it safe from whatever damage it could possibly be exposed to?
The first thing we noticed about Armor Series Case is its size. It makes your handset 0.64” taller, 0.66” wider, and 0.4” thicker; you definitely feel the increases in all dimensions. Compared to LifeProof’s Frē, it’s larger in every way, but it also feels much more substantial. The body splits apart into a front holder and rear shell, each made from heavily reinforced plastic. This material is augmented by silicone rubber on the inside, and a rubbery over-molded bumper around the front. Thankfully, the installation process is easier than with Frē: once you’ve set your iPhone 5 inside the front piece of the case, teeth on the right side of the rear panel easily fit into openings on the other half. Two metal latches on the left then snap closed to hold the case shut, somewhat like a briefcase. Despite what appears to be an overly large seam on the side, the latches create an airtight seal.
