Magellan GPS launched the ToughCase, a refined yet rugged protective case,
giving iPhone and iPod touch waterproof capabilities, ideal for outdoor
enthusiasts and outdoor professionals.
Available worldwide, featuring built-in GPS, ToughCase enhances the accuracy
of location-based and GPS applications for iPhone 3G and iPod touch, while
protecting the device and providing unmatched accessibility to all iPhone and
iPod touch features.
"The ToughCase is the ideal solution for all outdoor users. From kayakers to
golfers, mountain bikers to construction workers, it provides a level of
protection and performance previously unavailable in other cases," said Justin Doucette, Director of Product Marketing for
Magellan GPS. "The ToughCase protects against harmful elements such as dust,
rain, mud, water and snow."
The unique case design allows 100 percent access to Apple’s revolutionary
Multi-Touch user interface, allowing users to receive and place calls while the
device is protected. The ToughCase meets IPX-7 waterproof standards, enabling
the device to be submerged at a depth of 1-meter for up to 30 minutes. The
integrated 1840 mAh battery will double the life of the device based on normal
usage and the built-in high sensitivity SiRFstar III GPS chipset delivers up to
3 meters of accuracy.
The ToughCase is compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (second
and third generation). The ToughCase will be available at MagellanGPS.com and Apple
Stores at www.apple.com. The
ToughCase retails at an MSRP of USD $199.99.
ToughCase extends Magellan’s comprehensive solutions for iPhone and iPod
touch, which include the Magellan RoadMate turn-by-turn navigation app and the
Magellan Premium Car Kit – an innovative 3-in-1 vehicle mount for the iPhone
3GS, iPhone 3G and second and third generation iPod touch enhancing their
performance as a hands-free navigation solution.
The Magellan RoadMate turn-by-turn navigation app is available for $49.99 from the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch or
