these days, but they have become
indispensable gadgets. Whether you
use them to take pictures of your
latest restoration project to upload
to social media, or simply to
scan the web in search of parts,
they’re worth protecting. The
ultra-durable iPhone Platoon
Gear4 case can take on almost
anything. It’s drop resistant
up to 20ft – higher than
an average second-storey

its robust construction.
