#GoBallistic and protect your prized gadget

No matter how sleek, how thin, or how scratchproof its screen promises to be, I’m betting you still bought a  “case” for that shiny new iPhone or Samsung phone.

Besides just being accessories, protective cases for phones has become a big industry, and you only have to take a trip to the mall– or even Greenhills to see shops thriving on just selling these so-called protective cases.

But how much protection do they really offer?

For those cheap knockoffs probably not much except from some clumsy bumps and minor scratches just like wrapping it in a handkerchief.

There’s also a brand who’s been touring the malls daring you to do a drop test– and then there’s BALLISTIC.

While other brands can’t guarantee a specific height of protection, BALLISTIC guarantees its products can withstand at least a 1.8 meter drop and some up to 12 feet.

Yup 12 effin,feet.

You know its hard to argue with someone who’s screaming out the product details to you with the power of 12 Venti cups of Starbucks, but guest speaker Sean Bailey does make a lot of points about the features of Ballistic cases.  But he doesn’t talk, he also walks the talk, and even makes the big climb up a scafolding just to demonstrate just how tough their cases are.

He then shared a couple of stories from users who have been using Ballistic on their phones. HE said there was one reporter who dropped his phone while riding a helicopter.  and another about a couple who had a heated argument and the girl tried to vent of her anger by throwing her boyfriends phone or smashing it against the wall…The phone survived but Im not sure about the relationship.

Needless to say if you are going to make an investment on a protective case, GO Ballistic, and save yourself from misery.

Introduce HexTec Technology for Smartphones and Tablets1

Ballistic Case Co., the pioneers behind the amazing HexTec technology which provides protective solution for smartphones and tablets, has finally arrived in the Philippines. With their whole range of protective cases, Ballistic is set to become a major player in the iOS and Android phone/tablet case market. Along with select premium retailers, Ballistic is launching a nationwide information and marketing campaign which is aptly called; “Perfecting Protection”.

“We design, engineer and aggressively test our cases to offer the best protection on the market,” said Hank Goradesky, Ballistic’s founder and chief executive officer. “Let’s face it – we’re rough on our devices, and we drop them all the time. At Ballistic, we believe every case, whether it’s sleek or rugged, should protect your valuable devices. Our HexTec™ Six-Sided Drop Protection means you can drop your device on the front, back or corners and have confidence that it’s safe.”

HexTec Six-Sided Drop Protection

Ballistic engineers imbues each of its cases with the HexTec Six-Sided Drop Protection technology, which includes Ballistic Corners, to protect against cracked screens, as well as raised lips and corners to protect against scratches. The technology safeguards valuable devices from impacts on the front, back, and corners.

Every Ballistic case offers at least six feet of certified drop protection, with some models offering protection up to 12 feet. The rating and level of protection is clearly defined and written on the packaging of all Ballistic cases.

Competitive Data

Hextec Technology isn’t just a fancy marketing term. As proven by Ballitic, their cases has already been proven to outperform key competitors in the shock and drop protection area.

To compare Ballistic with the other competing brands, two Ballistic case underwent thorough drop tests, the SG Maxx and Hardcore. The Ballistic SG Maxx was put through a series of 6 feet drop-test while the Hardcore underwent an extensive 8 feet drop test. Compared to other competing brands, Both the Ballistic SG Maxx and Ballistic Hardcore was able to provide more protection by as high as 17.6% and 26.9% respectively

Ballistic’s lineup of rugged cases continues to offer the ultimate protection. In independent lab tests by Certifi Groupi, the Ballistic Hydra case for the iPhone 5 provided waterproof protection while submerged under seven feet of water for 30 minutes, and one hour of protection while submerged at three feet.

From sleek to rugged.

Even as it is committed to provide superior drop protection, Ballistic is also focused on addressing the need of consumers who want their devices protected, but do not want bulky cases that interfere with the look and feel of the devices.

“We believe our competitors have overlooked people who don’t want bulky cases but do want refined-looking, expert protection,” said Jason Naylor, Ballistic’s vice president of marketing. “Ballistic serves those individuals by clearly defining, right on the front of the package, how our cases protect devices. We have a case for every lifestyle, whether you’re a mom on the go or a rugged professional.”

“Ballistic has made significant investments to understand what device owners need and what ‘protection’ really means to them” said Naylor. “We know our cases offer superior protection at competitive prices. As the industry shifts, we plan to keep exceeding consumers’ rising expectations for what a case can deliver.”
