Incipio has a brand new case available to preorder online. Called ATLAS ID, the product promises to offer complete waterproof protection for Apple's iPhone 5s handset, and even allows users to interact with both the smartphone's touchscreen and its fingerprint-scanning Touch ID-equipped Home button while underwater.
The case (pictured above) can be preordered online for $89.99, and is available in black, white, gray, and pink. It's waterproof in depths of up to two meters for 30 minutes, and is made up of five distinct parts, which are pictured below. As outlined at the product page for ATLAS ID:
The ATLAS ID™ Case for iPhone 5/5s is constructed with five defensive layers to protect against water, shock, dirt and dust. With an intelligent Touch ID interface, the ATLAS ID™ Case features a scratch-resistant tempered glass screen that works seamlessly with the iPhone 5/5s touch screen and fingerprint scan function.Below, you can take a closer look at ATLAS ID's composition. As you can see, besides allowing users to interact with their handset's touchscreen and Touch ID, ALTAS ID also provides access to the iPhone's audio port, its Lightning port, and it allows users to shoot images and record video using the smartphone's built-in camera. Here's a list of features:
Finally, as with Incipio's non-Touch ID-compatible ATLAS case, the product offers users a one-year limited warranty that covers accidental water damage (United States only), just in case something happens to go wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfdmM1QDUDY
