Save on smartphone cases and chargers sitewide
TL;DR: Save 20% off Defense cases and chargers with the coupon code 20MASHABLE for a limited time.
In a mega-multitasking world, phone fumbles happen all the time. Even if you’re not walking and texting (and let’s be honest, most of us do that regularly) or snapping pics in touchscreen-enabled gloves, phones have a way of slipping out of our hands at the worst possible places (concrete sidewalk, anyone?).
While early generations of the iPhone were as fragile as teacups, the iPhone 11 series launched with a focus on increased durability. However, when put to the test, even these toughened-up versions can still crack under pressure. Get some peace of mind, protect your precious devices, and save 20% off all Defense cases and chargers with the code 20MASHABLE.
Here’s why this deal is worth it:
Drop-proofed protection
Engineered from hard polycarbonate, rubber, and anodized aluminum, the Defense Shield case for iPhone 11 Pro offers military-grade drop protection to withstand falls from six to 10 feet. It’s like bubble-wrapping your phone and putting it into a metal case, only better looking and more convenient.
Transparency is a good thing
After plunking down a grand (or more) on a smartphone, you might not want to cover up all that sleek design. For the stylishly minded, the case has a clear, polycarbonate back panel to protect from damage — and still look like an iPhone, so people know where you stand in the smartphone wars.
Improved audio
Since the Defense team wasn’t impressed with the iPhone 11 Pro’s sound without headphones, they integrated a sound channel to amplify the bottom speaker and redirect the sound to the front for less awkward speakerphone conversations. Can your case do that?
Fast, multitasking charging
For added convenience, bundle a Defense Vertical Duo wireless charger or buy it on its own. The space-saving station charges two Qi-enabled devices simultaneously and an additional device with a USB port.
The bottom line on breakage
The reality: even strong glass screens can crack, and replacements are costly. (Corning, the company that produces the new iPhone screen, doesn’t even promise invincibility for its glass solutions — only improved drop protection.) An even bigger tell? Apple lists a price for replacing an iPhone 11 Pro screen, which will set you back $279 out of warranty versus spending less than $30 on a case.
