SLXtreme iPhone 8Plus Case

The SLXtreme iPhone 8 Plus Case is for adventure seekers escaping the luxuries of civilization for the blissful solitude of the wilderness. Even if you're away from cell service, taking photos of your adventures, using your phone's built-in GPS for wayfinding, and studying notes for a variety of activities is key for many users (e.g. think hunters and fisherman), meaning this protective case is sure to suit these active outdoor enthusiasts. Not only is it ruggedized against the drops, spills, rain storms, and bumps you'll encounter along the way, but it's designed with a built-in 4000 mAh battery that charges your electronic lifeline as you roam off the grid.

This integrated battery is massive, considering your iPhone 8 Plus only comes with a 2,675 mAh battery, with only a few select smartphones on the market carrying the 5,000 mAh battery you'll find here. Not content with just this massive battery, the folks at Snow Leopard then place solar panels on the backside of the case, so you can boost the life of the rechargeable battery on those extended trips where you might not see an outlet for a couple of days or more. Snow Leopard claims that every 10 minutes of strong sunshine equates to a boost in battery life that's good for 10 minutes on the phone, which is pretty good considering how much power our devices use these days.

Beyond the case's charging capabilities, you'll find it's entirely sealed with a latch systems, as to ensure dust, water, and outdoor debris doesn't make its way inside and ruin your phone. It features an IP-68 rating, which is the highest waterproof rating against moisture ingress on the market, as well as earning the MIL-STD 810-G rating that's good for extreme temperatures (think scorching deserts and snowy mountains) and falls onto hard ground from nearly 7 feet high. And if that's not enough, Snow Leopard throws in a reusable dry box for keeping your electronics safe in the wilderness or at home, a micro USB charging cable, custom lanyard for handy carrying, and replacement gasket for the phone case itself.

Please note, this case is also compatible with the iPhone 7 Plus, in case you're still using an older model iPhone and need the same ruggedized, solar-charging case found here.
