How to protect your iPhone as much as possible from hacker attacks? iPhone models with water resistance

Modern models expensive smartphones have features not found in cheaper alternatives. Among these features are dust and moisture protection. This article will look at which iPhones are waterproof.

About moisture protection

Water protection has become widespread relatively recently. Previously, this opportunity was provided only by specially designed phones with the same cases.

The degree of water protection is determined by the manufacturer, after which it is encoded in the characteristics with a certain value. The modern international classification of gadget protection degrees (IP, Ingress Protection) combines dust and water resistance.

The first number indicates the level of permeability of solid particles, starting from dust; the second is an indicator of protection against liquids. The higher these indicators, the better the protection.

Below is a breakdown of the digital values.

Models with water protection

Apple began providing this capability to smartphones starting with the iPhone 7 and higher with an IP67 rating - the most common standard. IN iPhone versions 6 and below, individual functions will randomly fail or the device will turn off completely.

The number 7 indicates short-term (up to 30 minutes) operation in water at a depth of up to 1 m. Apple also warns users that the phone is not subject to warranty and service repair in case of problems due to its contact with water.

This video shows the iPhone X water resistance test:

Waterproof case

For smartphones without IP67, you can use a case, including a non-standard one:

• a plastic zip lock bag, the thickness of which even allows the use of a sensor;
• A plastic container with a tight lid, although it will not allow you to use your smartphone under water, will ensure its safety.

There are also specially designed waterproof cases, the cost of which ranges from 400 to 9,000 rubles. For example, the LifeProof fre iPhone 6 Case costs about 5000-5500 rubles and protects against moisture and shock, while looking compact.

Not all of them will look beautiful because that is not their main purpose. Also pay attention to the supported models so as not to purchase the wrong accessory.

conclusions

To find out which iPhones are waterproof, you should pay attention to the degree of protection according to the international classification indicated in the characteristics of the gadget. You can also use special cases for models without this feature.

Recently, manufacturers of accessories, or more precisely, cases, have staged a real race: who will produce the thinnest case. The main favorite was Ozaki with its O!coat 0.3 Jelly. But... despite the fact that the product turned out to be quite good, during use (after 2-3 months), according to some users, it began to lose its shape (stretch). This is of course subjective, but there were such opinions. Recently, the situation seems to have improved and the manufacturer has made some adjustments to improve performance, and this is very good. But we're not talking about Ozaki today. IN this review I want to introduce you closer to a very good (in my opinion) competitor of O!coat 0.3 Jelly - a not very common case in our country (which is strange) from Caze.

The name speaks for itself: "Zero 5 (0.5mm) UltraThin"- ultra-thin (0.5mm).

This series consists of two varieties:

1. Clear Clear Zero 5 (0.5mm) UltraThin

2. Slightly matte Zero 5 (0.5mm) UltraThin Matte

As you can see, the color options are the same: transparent, light blue/dark blue, pink and gray. What is characteristic and noticed not only by me is that these cases look equally beautiful on both black/gray iPhones and white/golden ones... This applies most of all to transparent ones...

I specifically took the most transparent CAZE Zero 5 (0.5mm) UltraThin (Clear) for review to check how invisible it would be on the iPhone.

Now the details:

A small, fairly typical package made of not very thick transparent plastic at the front through which the accessory itself is visible,

At the back, as usual, is some information,

Including about the kit

We open and take out everything inside: the case itself on a plastic backing (it’s so transparent that you can’t even see it in the photo), a protective film for the screen, a microfiber cloth and a table stand

Here he is, the hero of the review himself

The material is so transparent that I will first post iPhone photo 5S without case

And now in a case

The presence of the accessory on the body is almost invisible. His presence is noticeable only in the area of ​​the camera and flash

Here is another striking example - a photo of an apple on the back panel. Is the plastic very visible?

The Zero 5 itself is made of high quality and durable material TR90. iPhone case protected at the back, sides and corners. There are special neat cutouts for the volume buttons and the silent mode switch.

Well general form left

On the right there is only one nuance - the inscription CAZE

General photo of the right side

Only the corners are covered at the top and bottom

If you look at the iPhone from the front, it’s generally difficult to guess that there is a case.

The accessory is attached not to the edges of the screen, but to the protrusion of the metal side surfaces of the smartphone and does not form any visible frame above the display.

WITH appearance and they seem to have figured out the design. As for ergonomics, it is excellent. The plastic of the Zero 5 feels good in the hand and does not slip. All controls and connections are easy to use. Fingerprints on the case are not very noticeable, and it does not have any static qualities - dust is not attracted to it, which cannot be said about some other accessories (for example, about the original Apple case for iPhone 5C).

As for the complete table stand. I personally don’t really like using this kind of product, or rather, there is no need. But it will not be superfluous for someone

Well, included in the kit is also protective film on the screen only adds advantages to this already liked accessory.

The final touch... Last night, while sitting at a bar with a friend over a cup of coffee, I accidentally noticed one interesting point... The iPhone was lying on a black table with the screen facing up and then someone called me. And I have a light indication (the flash blinks), so during the call it seemed to me that the entire iPhone was glowing - this is how the plastic enhanced the visual perception of the flash’s operation. It’s almost impossible to take a photo, but the effect, believe me, is very impressive. I think it's even more beautiful on colored cases.

As a conclusion, I can say one thing: Caze Zero 5 (0.5mm) UltraThin is a very high-quality, thin and light case for your iPhone 5/5S with a pretty good set.

I can’t say anything about the experience of long-term use, but first impressions are extremely positive.

- Give me this one, please.

Give additional supplements?

What kind of extras are they?

Protection on the screen and back button. I looked in surprise at the hefty mountain of boxes piled up on the counter by the seller right in front of me. Plastic screen overlay, 3 home button duplicates, self-adhesive leatherette for back cover

, and finally, the bumper itself. Moreover, in a solid assortment. I already want to buy a complete set, but somewhere in the depths of my mind there is a thought - after all, I needed something else.

- Is there a cord? Just be sure to be original. I don't want to hear the phone squealing after every connection.

— Why do you need the original one? There is such a model. Do you like black?

Looking at my white iPhone, such a thought would not occur to everyone. Nevertheless, out of all the variety of aluminum protection, my choice fell on black. Accordingly, I decided to take a dark sticker for the back cover too. Probably, after all, yes, sometimes I like it darker.

The first thing that should have caught my attention if I had already decided to purchase a complete set of all kinds of protection from Draco was the sticker for protecting the back cover. The smartphone in it stops sliding on the table, and this is a huge plus at a time when you are busy working with the front panel. Based on, after gluing the back cover, I would recommend gluing the Home button. After that, carefully peel off the mounting film from the screen protection, try not to miss it even by half a millimeter.

And your only last action should be to wrap your iPhone in aluminum. Naturally, I did this first, after which I started gluing. Of course, it was worth turning on your head for a minute and thereby saving yourself from contemplating this terrible bubble in the lower right corner on the front panel.

An even better option would be to entrust all these operations to the seller or an employee of one of the many service centers. People whom nature has blessed with hands that grow from the right places. But these are unexpected costs. Yes, and I, in principle, almost did it. This means that for many, this operation will also not take much time and nerves.

But enough about the installation, it's time to talk about the bumper. This protection from Draco comes in no less than two designs - with clear ribs and with soft curves. In my opinion, the first one turned out to be more attractive. Color and shape played an important role in this. To be honest, the blown chrome is a little scary.

“Ribbed and Crisp” is secured with two screws - in the upper right and lower left corners. A rocker is installed on the left edge, which doubles as a silent mode switch and volume buttons. On the right there is a hole for the SIM card tray. At the top is a Power backup and a window of unknown purpose. Perhaps it somehow affects the quality of communication, most likely for the better.

From below, of course, the microphone and speaker grids are open, as well as all the connectors. There is also an eyelet for key rings. This is exactly what the girls missed so much - the lost opportunity to attach a miniature teddy bear or a shoe with rhinestones to the phone.

The main difference between a "smooth and chrome" bumper and a "crisp" one is that it is secured with four screws. And also with the help of assembly. If the first one is two letters “G”, then the second one is two “O”. Or two zeros, as you like. Open it, place the phone in one of the parts, place the second part on top and secure it with screws. Ready.

The equipment for both is the same. In the bag I found: an assembly tool, a switch for switching to silent mode, a couple of spare screws. And it has great importance, meaning that you can assemble the bumper with your own hands immediately after purchase. Without a doubt, this is very cool.

The accessory can be used without additional gadgets. But they are much more interesting and even safer, of course, if everything is done correctly. Almost a millimeter of glass with an adhesive backing will not only protect the gadget’s screen, but also align the bumper frame to such an extent that it becomes impossible to catch your fingers on it. In turn, the self-adhesive front panel button will raise Home to the same level as the new glass. Although the back panel sticker is thinner than the aluminum fins, it perfectly protects the surface of the cover from accidental scratches.

Basically, the iPhone falls on its edge. Although, it happens that sometimes the plane lands flat with its backside or glass, and the consequences of these unplanned landings can be even worse. But no matter how or where an iPhone 5 falls, protected by a full range of Draco accessories, its chances of survival are much higher than that of a partially protected phone. And in comparison with the “naked” apparatus, they are simply huge.

I liked this kind of protection. I also liked the way it was sold - piece by piece, by kit. This is really very convenient; buying modules is many times better than simply throwing away unused parts along with the packaging.

By the way, the black cord, which I almost forgot while writing this article, works perfectly - it synchronizes and charges. An iPhone updated to iOS 7 doesn't even think about making a statement about the non-originality of the accessory. And this is a huge plus for a third-party manufacturer.

Continuation of the four-inch line of smartphones from Apple, and since this is an analogue of the iPhone 5s in appearance, I want to once again raise the topic of shockproof cases for these smartphones.

Accessory manufacturers produce different iPhone cases: waterproof, leather, silicone, shockproof, and so on. The purpose of all these cases is one and the same - to protect the iPhone. In this review I will look at shockproof cases for iPhone SE and 5S.

Funda Coque case for iPhone SE/5/5S

The Funda Coque shockproof case from R-JUST is produced for all iPhone models. The case guarantees good protection for your iPhone SE or 5S and comes in more than 10 different colors. The lower and upper bumpers of the case are made of aluminum.

The headphone jack is closed with a special plug, which is easy to remove from the case and insert headphones. Other ports and buttons are also protected. For Russian users, this case is an excellent addition to the iPhone.

Protective case R-JUST for iPhone SE / iPhone 5s

Also in the case there are auxiliary shock-absorbing pads on the corners, they are also gilded, part of the impact when falling. The case comes with screen protection, but most users use Gorilla Glass.

This shockproof case protects the ports, but they are easily accessible. In short, the manufacturer did his best. If this case has passed extreme tests, then it will not fail during everyday use either.

The appearance of this case is quite modern and solid - a perfect addition to the iPhone SE and 5s.

Lzcxi is another company that creates durable smartphone cases, and this shockproof and waterproof case for the iPhone SE, 5s and 5 is considered one of the best. The composition of polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyurethane makes it simultaneously rigid, strong and durable.
