Intriguing. I currently use a waterproof pouch on a lanyard for this, so I can take it with my kayaking and sailing. The pouch has good water protection (I tested it underwater with tissues rather than my iphone inside initially, and plan to repeat periodically to test for deterioration. But the plastic pouch does degrade the image quality, and it is not form fitting so the air-gap/angle can degrade the image even further. This EscapeCapsule case says it is "optically perfect" which sounds great - but not actually physically possible so I wonder how the image quality through it really is.

I also like the lanyard attachment. Funny that iphones don't have that standard! My cheaper phones do. I guess it's to protect against people damaging them when they swing into things and then claiming damage results from the design implying that it would be okay to hang it from the outside of an airline-checked bag... Do other cases have an attachment? I'd like to hook it to a retractable line so I don't set it down and leave it places, but don't have a good attachment point.

All the promo video for the EscapeCapsule was shot using an iPhone inside an EscapeCapsule.

The project made its funding goal, so now to see if they can produce.

I like the looks of that case as well. Doesn't seem like its overly bulky either.

Being into snow sports, I couldn't wait for the escape capsule. I picked up a life proof from best buy and am happy with it. It's a bit bulky but the iPhone 4 is a bit small for me anyway. It's inconvenient for headset connection and docking but that's the price for waterproofing.

I'll be able to compare when the capsule actually ships.

The EscapeCapsule is finally a reality. Haven't decided if I'm going to keep it, I like my home brew case. Very nice package, and the final product is very close to the original concept and prototype. A lot of kicstarter projects get bogged down in the production stage, as this project did, but it was a very well run project. i'm sure they will be ready to jump on the iPhone 5.

Available from the Catalyst site, shipped for $89. For iPhone 4 and 4S.

Waterproof cases for iPhone are handy in rainy season.

I have a LifeProof ($79US at BestBuy) and just received my EscapeCapsule. I also have a bike mounted bag style case.

LifeProof requires adapter for both headphones and docking. The standard iPhone charger cable fits with the case but others don't. For docking and alternate cables, you need a $29 adapter. Only recommended that the case be opened 50 times as it uses tiny clips to hold it together and they will wear out.

EscapeCapsule fits with standard iPhone headphones and smaller headphone plugs without an adapter. You can't access the dock while the case is on. I saw nothing in the documentation as to how many times the case can be installed/removed but would assume it's a higher count than LP since you can't charge in the case.

Easiest in my opinion is a bag style. Not as attractive but it's easier to deal with and takes up little space in a travel bag.

It's spam when all briella's posts are about one thing, for sale. Sad.
