Catalyst made its name producing a solid lineup of affordable cases that combined waterproofing with strong impact protection, and their signature Catalyst Case for iPhone quickly became one of our favorites. Now with the debut of the iPhone X, the company has branched out with a new Impact Protection Case that brings the classic Catalyst Case design in a less expensive version for those who don’t really need the waterproofing.
With its new Impact Protection Case, Catalyst has also increased the drop protection to 9.9 feet (3m) with a new cushioning system and rubber polymer blend, while staying true to the company’s unique aesthetic. The Impact Protection Case still includes the grippy rubber bumper, lanyard attachment, signature rotating mute switch, and clear backing to show off the encased iPhone. A raised bezel protects the iPhone screen, and there’s full button protection, yet it still has a slim and pocketable design that feels great in the hand. It’s also available in four attractive color combos. It’s a solid case for your outdoor adventures, and if you like Catalyst’s classic waterproof cases as much as we do, but don’t really need to pay extra for the waterproofing, you’ll definitely want to check out Catalyst Impact.
