This is the toughest iPhone case I've tested, and I love it!
The Casetify Ultra Bounce case features one of the most striking designs I've seen in a rugged case, and its sturdiness backs up its impressive appearance.
The iPhone case market has seen very few options that combine durability and style, but the Casetify Ultra Bounce appears to break that trend. This model stands out for its functionality and eye-catching design, drawing attention wherever it appears. Additionally, it comes with a range of accessories that complement the case, merging fashion and convenience while taking care of your costly smartphone. It can be compared to the Adidas Megaride in terms of fun and originality in its offering.
Regarding protection, the Ultra Bounce case safeguards the corners and the top of the phone with air-filled structures that, although they look soft, are designed to absorb impacts. The case is raised above the screen, offering extra security in case of drops. Casetify claims that it provides up to 10 meters of drop protection and meets a durability standard that exceeds ten times the requirements of MIL-STD-810G, meaning it can withstand up to 95% of an impact. The transparent back panel offers a sense of sturdiness, and its grooved interior design prevents the phone from slipping inside the case.
All buttons are easy to access, and there is a specific opening for the iPhone camera control. The case has a plastic cover that protects the lenses, although this part can be removed if you prefer to avoid extra layers when taking photos. It also includes MagSafe magnets, making it stable when placed on a MagSafe charger.
The Ultra Bounce not only provides complete coverage but also features a selection of accessories that help prevent drops. This range includes two carabiners and a lanyard, allowing you to secure the phone to a backpack, belt, or even across the body. The carabiners are made of aluminum with polyester straps, and the lanyard is adjustable from 116 to 139 centimeters, ideal for carrying it in different ways or on the wrist.
The complete set of the Ultra Bounce, which includes the case, lanyard, and a carabiner, provides a secure grip that makes it difficult for the phone to get damaged or fall when in use. While many rigid cases offer similar protection, few do so with such an attractive design that moves away from a military look toward a more urban style.
In terms of user experience, this model also adds some bulk to the iPhone, but not as much as one might expect, as the edges where you typically grip the device do not have the same protective structures. However, the weight increases from 227 to 298 grams with the case, and while this means more protection, the Ultra Bounce stands out for its clever design that minimizes the feeling of excess size.
Putting it on and taking it off the phone is straightforward, which is uncommon for rugged cases, allowing for use as needed. The lanyard and carabiners add a touch of style, proving useful in preventing theft in unfamiliar cities or preventing the device from being dropped during outdoor activities, adding versatility to the set.
The investment in the Ultra Bounce isn't negligible, as it costs $100 and is available for several iPhone models, as well as certain Samsung and Google phones. The additional cost of accessories such as the carabiner ($28) and the lanyard ($56) should also be considered. This model comes in colors like black or indigo, and allows for customizations for a unique touch.
The quirky character of the Ultra Bounce sets it apart from other market options, challenging conventions by being bold and functional. With its distinctive design, it will surely keep your iPhone well protected.
