Within a matter of hours of Apple unveiling its new iPhone 6 this week, BioLogic, a specialist in urban cycling gear, unveiled its WeatherCase for iPhone 6. The Bike Mount WeatherCase is a bike-mountable, weatherproof case, that protects iPhones during commutes, rainy-day rides and workouts. The product has already existed for the iPhone 5, Galaxy S4 and LG G3, but is now getting ahead of the curve with a newly created case for the latest iPhone.
“iPhones are becoming the cycle computer of choice for an increasing number of cyclists,” said Eric Mah, BioLogic Brand Manager. “But bike rides often include lots of sweat, rain, and dirt, and an iPhone needs protection from all of that. With its slim, pocketable size and rock-solid AnchorPoint mount, the WeatherCase is the smart choice for Apple’s new larger-screen phones.”
Made from ‘sonically-welded TPU with rain-proof zippers’, the WeatherCase provides full access to the touchscreen, front and rear cameras and side volume/power buttons. Double zippers allow access to headphones/charge port while the phone is in the case; and CushionFit padding keeps the phone snug and protects from vibration.
BioLogic notes that the WeatherCase even delivers clear voice quality when making calls with the phone inside the case.
The WeatherCase attaches to bike handlebars or stems with the robust AnchorPoint mounting system. Featuring a strong 4-point clamp, BioLogic claims that the AnchorPoint far surpasses conventional snap mount systems. Constructed from durable fibre-reinforced nylon, a positive tightening mechanism keeps the clamp from loosening while riding. The mount can be oriented vertically or horizontally and is included with the WeatherCase.
“With its larger screen, the iPhone 6 is super easy to use with iPhone cycling apps like BikeBrain,” continued Mah. “Now, no matter what size phone riders choose, there’s a WeatherCase to keep it safe.”
The WeatherCase is available in four sizes to fit popular phones including iPhone 5 series, iPhone 6, and the Samsung Galaxy S3/S4. The largest model, the WeatherCase XL, fits phones up to 151 x 78 x 10 mm, including the HTC One (M8), Samsung Galaxy S5, LG G3 and Sony Xperia Z2.
The BioLogic Bike Mount WeatherCase for iPhone 6 has an MSRP of US$34.95/€34.95 and will be available from retailers worldwide and at www.premiumbikegear.com.
