Dog & Bone Wetsuit Case

While life is often tough, messy and active, unfortunately our electronic devices don’t always meet those requirements. So when Dog & Bone came to D+I with the hope of protecting our phones from the harsh conditions we subject them to, we needed to tackle the ultimate electronics killer — water. The solution is Dog & Bone's Wetsuit iPhone case, a waterproof, shockproof, dirt-proof and snow-proof enclosure that is as slim and stylish as it is rugged.

Going topless

The first case of its kind to go topless (without a protective film covering the screen), Wetsuit offers unparalleled touch-screen sensitivity while avoiding the rippling and bubbling often associated with protective film coverings. When designing Wetsuit, we wanted the case to be tough and durable, yet accessible and soft to the touch. By utilising a premium, soft, non-slip rubber-touch exterior the case feels superb in the hand, while allowing better grip in and around water. In setting out to design the most robust waterproof phone case on the market, D+I engineered Wetsuit to the highest possible standards in both shock and waterproofing. Wetsuit has an IP 68 rating, the highest level of ingress protection against water and dust, as well as MIL STD 810F, which exceeds Military standards in drop tests of 2 metres.

Dog & Bone Backbone Case

Designed and developed in Australia by D+I, the Backbone combines the freedom of a unique wireless-charging platform with a series of interchangeable, ruggedised and distinctively styled casings. The clean, simple charge pad design provides a minimal desk footprint while being easy to land your phone on, promptly charging every time you replace your phone. With the Backbone, the technology is not restricted to one standard casing design — the wireless module can be interchanged with a range of 3 case designs in 5 colours.

Apple approved quality

Created to meet Apple MFi requirements and with a worldwide patent, the Backbone is built to exacting standards. The design allows complete user access to the functionality of the iPhone, without any reduction in sound quality or antenna reception. The custom developed induction charge circuit provides wireless charge rates as fast as direct cable charging. On-the-go connectivity is provided by an auxiliary Micro USB, providing complete mobile flexibility without the need to remove the casing. The Backbone functionality is contained in a cleverly minimised envelope, comparable in thickness to any other standard protective phone casing. The product design and engineering teams went to great lengths to optimise each part — achieving a design that is slim and sleek while providing the exceptional protection and build quality.
