The Seidio OBEX case for the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S III provides protection while maintaining screen sensitivity and sound clarity.

Made of polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyurethane materials, it absorbs shock, and a two-stage protection system produces a tight seal, with rubber silicone stoppers for headphone and USB ports. The case protects against complete submersion for 30 minutes in 6 to 7 feet of water. MSRP starts at $79.95.
