iPhone case and a way to mount your phone in your car, Logitech might just have you covered. The company today announced its
protection+ case and
+trip (italics ours, annoying lowercase and plus-sign styling theirs) car air-conditioner mount for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S.</p> <p>The
protection+ case is a polycarbonate shell with a good chunk of metal embedded in the back to make it compatible with Logitech's car mounts as well as bring the whole thing up to a military-standard 810 G for protection against drops from 5.9 feet.</p> <p>The
+trip mount clips on to your car air-conditioning mount, and the phone (with the
protection+ case) is affixed via a fairly powerful magnet. It's a pretty good bond, as well, though you'll need to work to get the right angle. (And as always, maybe try to not fiddle too much with your phone in the car if you can help it.)</p> <p>The case runs $34.99, and the magnetic mount is $24.99. Both are expected to be available in August.</p> <!--break--> <div class="pressrelease"> <h2>Logitech protection+ Case Gives Peace of Mind to On-the-Go Samsung and iPhone Users</h2> <h3>Slim Case Combines Ultra-Protective Construction and Convenience in One</h3> <p>NEWARK, Calif. — July 16, 2014 — Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced the Logitech® protection+ case, bringing extra protection and convenience to Samsung Galaxy S®5 and Apple iPhone® 5 and iPhone® 5s owners. Featuring a slim, yet ultra-protective, outer shell, flex-resistant corners and impact-absorbent channels, this case safeguards your smartphone from whatever the world throws at it.</p> <p>"Our smartphones take quite a beating," said Ariel Fischer, director of smartphone accessories at Logitech. "We designed the Logitech protection+ to give you peace of mind disguised in a great looking protective case that absorbs the daily shocks your phone experiences."</p> <p>The protection+ case features a hard polycarbonate body with impact-resistant polymers in each corner that mitigate damage from impacts by absorbing shocks and dissipating them across the surface of your case. Additionally, tucked inside its polycarbonate shell, the case has impact channels and a layer of thermoplastic rubber to further absorb vibrations. For added assurance, Logitech protection+ exceeds the U.S. Military drop-test standard (MIL-STD 810 G) for "rugged" devices, protecting your phone from drops up to 1.8 meters high.</p> <p>The case also features a hidden metal plate that is compatible with all Logitech smartphone mounts, including +drive and the all-new +trip.</p> <p><strong>+trip</strong></p> <p>The +trip quickly clips to any air vent in your vehicle to keep your smartphone secure and in view. A magnet securely holds your smartphone to the +trip mount, so you can keep your audio, navigation and phone calls right where you want them. The small and stylish +trip is designed for use during daily commutes and business trips. The +trip mount includes two universal adapters, so it's compatible with smartphones of all shapes and sizes.</p> <p><strong>+drive</strong></p> <p>The modern looking +drive mount instantly attaches to your windshield or dashboard thanks to a single twist-activated suction cup while a magnet secures your smartphone in place. The +drive comes with two universal adapters to seamlessly hold any smartphone or case vertically or horizontally.</p> <p><strong>Pricing and Availability</strong></p> <p>The Logitech protection+ case, +trip air vent mount, and +drive windshield/dashboard mount are all expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in August 2014, for suggested retail prices of $34.99, $29.99 and $49.99 respectively.
