The Keystone Eco Marinecase takes smart phones to new depths by promoting the use of the phone in wet situations. Rather than avoiding water when one is on their phone, this new case actually promotes using it in pools, lakes, in the rain and in the shower.
Specifically designed for the iPhone 4 and 4S, the slim case fits snugly over the cell phone to make it water repellent when submerged up to 20 feet.
The case not only protects the phone from accidental water damage, but rather, enables one to take underwater, non-flash photos and videos. Full phone functionality is still available as well, and calling, texting, browsing and app use can be done without having to leave the water. The case will virtually eliminate having to replace one’s phone because of a case of the dreaded, not-covered-by-warranty problem of water damage.
