Just weeks after the launch of its new Waterproof Case for iPhone 5/5s, Lifedge has been given one of only nine Special Mentions from a total of 115 products entered for the DAME award, the world’s leading annual design competition for the marine equipment and accessories industry. The Special Mention was awarded by the DAME Jury who acknowledged the product’s excellent and detailed industrial design and high street standard branding and packaging. Lifedge is the creation of Tom Reed, MD of world leading marine installations company Scanstrut who expressed his pride in receiving this prestigious endorsement,"We are pleased to have won a Special Mention for our Lifedge product. This will certainly boost awareness of the range and spur us on for 2014" Born from a deep-rooted belief that the best memories are created whilst enjoying the great outdoors, the dynamic inhouse Lifedge design team has delivered a range of waterproof cases for personal electronic devices specifically designed for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. They are ideal for use with weather, navigation and entertainment apps both on and off the water, making them an essential new piece of kit for boaters. The Lifedge Waterproof Case for iPhone 5/5s Designed and made in the UK, this Lifedge case fits both the iPhone 5 and 5s and is 100% waterproof, dustproof and shockproof. Ideal for use with weather, navigation and entertainment apps, it will protect the phone both on and offshore, making it perfect for all kinds of watersports enthusiasts.

The Lifedge case works in harmony with the iPhone 5/5s. The optical clarity camera and flash lens is compatible with Apple’s new True Tone flash of the iPhone 5s and the enlarged camera button means users can take great pictures every time. Bespoke acoustic patches from the world’s most respected materials provide outstanding sound and mic performance so the quality of phone calls is not compromised, and the waterproof headphone connector means users can enjoy their music, wherever they are. The Lifedge Waterproof Case for iPad Designed in the UK, the new Lifedge case for iPad is 100% waterproof, dustproof and shockproof so it is perfect for the marine environment and is an excellent tool to assist with iPad run navigation, weather forecasts, tracking, race tactics and onboard entertainment.

All Lifedge cases are put through rigorous testing to ensure they will perform when it matters the most, so whether cruising, racing or watching from the shoreline, users can be sure that this case won’t let them down.

Although a new brand with a compact team, Lifedge never compromises on the quality of design or materials enabling them to meet and even exceed the expectations of the most demanding of outdoors enthusiasts.
