iGills iPhone Case Dives Deep Underwater

I admit that I take my iPhone pretty much everywhere with me, but I draw the line at taking it into water. The iGills case seeks to change this by making your iPhone fully waterproof.

The iGills SE-35 case isn’t some a flimsy cover, but a fully waterproof case that you can take with you – even on diving expeditions. It’s made out of polycarbonate and will let your iPhone withstand depths of up to 130 feet. There are some buttons that will allow you to use your iPhone underwater, which work in tandem with the iGills’ dedicated app.

The app will allow you to track your depth, time underwater, and nitrox levels as well as monitoring the temperature of the water you’re in thanks to the case’s own built-in sensors. All this tech doesn’t come cheap, as you’ll have to spend $329.99 to pre-order yours from iGills.

Not quite ready to leave wandering the briny depths up to robots, but still crave some undersea tech? The freshly released iGills Smart Diving System can help. With a polycarbonate housing and free companion app, the setup turns your iPhone into a fully featured recreational dive computer and logbook that can plunge up to 130 feet into the drink. Once connected to the waterproof case's 30-pin dock, handsets gain access to depth and temperature sensors in addition to six buttons for in-app navigation. Not only does the software provide vital dive information, it also allows users to take stills and videos of their underwater excursions through a glass camera port. If you're pining for an iOS-assisted diving experience, the iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S-compatible rig will set you back $330. Check out a quick clip of the accessory, complete with requisite rock music, after the break.
