LifeProof’s new casings help protect your expensive new iPhone X

To date, Apple’s iPhone X is currently one of, if not the most expensive phones currently available in the market with prices going up to a stratospheric RM5,899 for the 256GB model. It’s also currently one of the most delicate phones made with both a glass front and back. Unless you happen to have cash by the bucketload, odds are you’ll have to make sure that your investment is well protected, which is where LifeProof’s latest selection of cases – the NEXT and the SLAM come into play.

The LifeProof NEXT protects the iPhone X from drops up to 2 metres to the groun

d and sports an IP-5X rating for keeping dust and dirt out though it’s not waterproof. A two-piece outer shell wraps around the phone to offer exceptional protection without sacrificing aesthetics as the rear comes with a transparent armoured plate which still lets you see what you paid close to six grand for. Functionality is unimpeded as well as the casing offers unimpeded access to every button on the phone. It comes in Black, Beach Pebble, Seaside and Cactus Rose for the iPhone X for RM259.

Designed as the most affordable option in LifeProof’s range of absurdly tough cases, the LifeProof SLAM is a slim affair that also offers protection from drops up to 2 metres in height though it lacks the dust and dirt proofing of the NEXT. Like its sibling, the SLAM has a transparent armoured backplate so you can admire your iPhone X’s lustruously smooth rear glass finish while keeping it scratch and ding free. It comes in your choice of Night Flash, Lava Chaser, Aloha Sunset and Free Flow for RM179.

The transparent backplate on the LifeProof SLAM lets you admire your iPhone X while keeping it protected.
