Offgrid Gear New: SnowLizard SLX Solar Case for iPhone 7 Plus
As demonstrated by our recent article, Backcountry Cell Phone Land Navigation, a smartphone is an incredibly valuable resource. It provides communications, maps, a compass, a camera, a flashlight, and much more — even if the grid goes down and there's no cellular connection, many of these tools are still usable if you plan ahead.
However, if your phone runs out of battery, gets smashed on a rock, or gets dropped into a creek, it'll suddenly become an expensive paperweight. Therefore, it's important to protect your phone with a sturdy case, and consider portable sources of backup power.
The SnowLizard SLXtreme case provides solutions to each of these issues, with a waterproof rugged exterior, a built-in auxiliary battery pack, and a large solar panel. The SLX case is already available for iPhone 6/6S and 7 models, but the company recently announced a model will soon be available for the iPhone 7 Plus.
This SLX iPhone 7 Plus case offers the following key features:
The company also states that the iPhone 7 Plus case offers several improvements on the previous designs: more shock-absorbing material, a more efficient solar panel, and a new light intensity indicator so you can ensure it's receiving maximum solar energy.
The new SnowLizard SLXtreme iPhone 7 Plus case will be available in black or Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camouflage. Once it's released, you'll be able to find it on SnowLizard.com and Amazon at an MSRP of $150.
