I’ve always been an extremely clumsy person. As a kid, I was in and out of emergency rooms with sprains, broken bones, and rattled nerves. Today, my clumsiness comes in the form of broken phone screens and dead batteries from forgetting to charge my phone. Of course, things could be much worse, but my point is that we’re extremely dependent on our phones these days. They connect us to work, family, friends, and, of course, things like where the latest swell is hitting or where the closest breakfast burrito is. Without them, we’d be up Shit Creek without a paddle.
Let me introduce to you the FRĒ Power case by LifeProof. The team at LifeProof masterminded this genius phone case for the iPhone 6, and I must say, it’s a doozy. For starters, the case has a built-in battery pack, so when you’re out of reach of wall socket and charger, the 2,600-mAh built-in battery pack will fully charge your phone, enabling you to continue your epic journey. So whether you’re streaming music, navigating routes, or documenting your adventures, always know you have another full battery as a backup.
If you live an active life and take your phone everywhere you go, it’s going to get pretty scuffed up from life’s cruel elements. With the FRĒ Power case, you don’t have to worry about dropping your phone. The case is shockproof and can easily withstands drops when fumbling around for your phone. And even more relevant to me and surfers, campers, snowboarders, and outdoors folk, the phone is 100 percent water, dirt, and snow proof. I tested the FRĒ at the beach and filmed a few of my friends surfing. I took it straight to the shower to rinse it off and then opened it up to see if it had leaked. The phone was still dry as a bone.

If I had one complaint, I’d say it feels a bit bulky, but take that for what it’s worth since I didn’t use a case at all before. But I got used to it. After all, if you handed me an iPhone 6 when I had the 4, I’d probably say the exact same thing. The FRĒ Power Case by LifeProof clocks in at $129 and LifeProof has an extensive stock of accessories, too, depending on your needs, including: bikes mounts, arm bands, and they even have a jacket that fits around your case, which makes it float. So whether you’re streaming music, navigating routes, or documenting your adventures, LifeProof has an option for you. Hopefully, the days of broken screens and dead batteries are over…
