When I first saw a photo of Hitcase’s new chest mount for its ruggedized iPhone case system, I thought to myself, “Hmm, I wonder how that fits on a woman.” I had to go find out for myself.
Let’s backtrack before we get to the try-on stage. Hitcase has splashed down into the category of tough cases for the iPhone . It’s a bit chunky and a bit heavy, but it does the job. Unlike the water-resistant and waterproof-for-a-few-inches cases, it can go for a serious dive of up to 33 feet under the blue.
Hitcase is trying hard to replace the need for a GoPro for action sports nuts who love to film mountain biking, downhill skiing, and other outdoor activities with a high probability of wiping out. Instead of treating your iPhone like a delicate flower, you can take it along to record the fun. The case opens up like a book, so it’s easy in and easy out. The idea is you don’t leave this on your phone all the time, just when you need it.
