The latest Apple iPhone models for the year 2018 had recently been announced not too long ago and they are now available in Singapore! I was at the Singtel launch event for the Apple iPhone XS, XS Max and Apple Watch Series 4, had a short hands on comparison with my iPhone 7 Plus and the latest iPhone XS and XS Max.
While I am admiring the latest Apple iPhone XS and XS Max, the prices for the new Apple iPhones are pretty expensive. Therefore, I would highly recommend that you get iPhone smartphone case cover protection for your new Apple iPhone XS, XS Max or XR that you are planning to own. Any damage to your Apple iPhone XS, XS Max or XR is going to be painful for yourself and your wallet, the repair cost is not going to be cheap.
The OtterBox brand comes to my mind immediately, this is a brand that I am familiar since I started covering/reviewing the OtterBox brand in the year 2013 and I had also used it for my earlier Apple iPhone models too. Investing in a quality smartphone case cover is a must (in my personal humble opinion) and I highly recommend OtterBox.
From the OtterBox family of smartphone cases, they have the trendy designs to rugged designs, from slim cases to rugged and burly, as well as smartphone case models in between.
With the launch of the Apple iPhone XS, XS Max and XR, OtterBox has also released new smartphone cases models for them! Let me share with you more information and details:
“We watch Apple improve and enhance its technology every year, and we are doing the same by enhancing the protection, style and design of each of our case series to make them better than ever,” said Jim Parke, OtterBox CEO. “Whether facing drops, dings or scratches, OtterBox protection keeps your device looking like new. That way, when it’s time to use Apple GiveBack, you will get every penny that you deserve.”
Each iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone XR case design undergoes a minimum of 24 tests across more than 238 hours to earn the OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection seal. These tests ensure lasting protection from drops, bumps, scratches and dings.
OtterBox offers a broad suite of cases, because iPhone users are as diverse and complex as their phone features. There’s an OtterBox case for everyone:
- Symmetry Series has been redesigned with a slimmer form and easy-push buttons and comes in a broad array of colors and graphics in a sleek, one-piece design. With an ultra-slim form, Symmetry Series is the perfect fashion statement to slide in and out of pockets.
- Defender Series offers rugged protection for iPhone X, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone XR. The multi-layer design absorbs and dissipates shock, while port covers keep dirt and debris out. Available in a wide variety of colors and build-your-own options.
- Pursuit Series is OtterBox’s thinnest, most protective case with protection against drop, dust, dirt and snow intrusion. The two-piece design seals together around iPhone and features audio scoops, a sealed camera opening and an included lanyard to tether it to your arm.
- Crafted for luxury seekers, Strada Series Folio features a genuine leather cover, magnetic front clasp and folio design to keep the screen from scratches. The inside cover offers a card slot ideal for holding a credit card and ID.
- Thin, protective and ready to go, Commuter Series is perfect for the everyday trek to work. The outer shell and inner slipcover absorb shock and stay slim, while port covers keep dust out of ports. Available in a wide variety of colors and build-your-own options.
- All OtterBox cases are compatible with Alpha Glass fortified screen guards. Alpha Glass guards against scuffs, scratches and dings to the brilliant display on iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone XR.
