Griffin deliver when it comes to protecting your iPhone 5 with a waterproof case you can count on, and their latest range would protect your iPhone from a lot more than just rain. Griffin states the Survivor + Catalyst waterproof case is the ‘easiest-to-use’, and can withstand a submersion of up to 10 feet. This is much more than the majority of iPhone 5 owners would need and even more impressive to see.

We have included a couple of screenshots on this page showing Griffin’s new Survivor + Catalyst waterproof case placed in a bowl of water, although you can watch a video of this taking place with an iPhone 5 on the official product page. The partnership Griffin has formed with Catalyst helps to deliver a superior iPhone 5 case, which helps users meet whatever life throws at them.

For our readers that don’t know – Catalyst started out as a Kickstarter project with the EscapeCapsule waterproof case, and now the partnership with a well-known brand like Griffin is sure to raise their profile even further.

The new Survivor + Catalyst iPhone 5 case might be a little on the bulky side, although it is one of the most technical waterproof cases you can buy. Combining the Catalyst technology with the military standards of Griffin’s original Survivor, now delivers an even better solution for those of our readers looking for ultimate water protection.

Do you ignore the extra bulk with smartphone cases like this thanks to the water protection they provide? Griffin and Catalyst introduced the new iPhone 5 cases at CES 2013. This waterproof case is currently priced at $79.99.

Griffin introduced a few new products at CES for 2013, and one of these had been the new Powerdock 5 charger for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Griffin states that not only can the Powerdock 5 charge a combination of Apple products, but you can also fit 5 iPads on the one dock as well. This is great for an Apple home with multiple gadgets, which the image below features both the 10-inch iPad 4 and smaller iPad mini. You can also see a couple of iPads and an iPhone.

Some people might wonder why you would need to charge so many Apple products at once, although we’d like to point out that even we know a number of homes that have 3 iPhones at least. Then you can add to that the collection of iPads, or iPods, then you can easily fill the Griffin Powerdock 5 with Apple devices.

The Griffin Powerdock 5 compatibility can be seen on the official product page here, which includes a vast range of Apple devices. You’ll find support for all iPads, from the iPhone 3G upwards, the 2nd-gen iPod touch onwards, and also other iPods like the 2007 iPod classic. See the full list of supported devices via the above link.

You only need around the space of an iPad for the Griffin Powerdock 5 charger to fit on your desk. The main features include an illuminated power status light, ability to accommodate iPad tablets in their cases, and 10 watts per charging bay. Griffin’s Powerdock 5 will see a release date at some point in Spring, and has a price of $99.99.

As Paul Lamkin over on the pocket-lint.com website recently noted, just like the Apple iPhone 4 version introduced back in March, the Griffin Survivor case for iPad 2 features a shatter-resistant polycarbonate frame that is covered in a rugged, shock absorbing silicone, as well as a screen protector.

The Griffin Survivor case has been tested to U.S. Department of Defence Standard 810F standards and will protect your Apple tablet from rain (up to 200mm/hour for 1 hour), dirt and sand (up to 18m/second for 1 hour), vibration (18 hours at 20 to 2000Hz) and shock (tested by dropping it onto a flat concrete surface from 1.8m).

It also comes with a stand just in case you want to watch a bit of video on your new tablet PC. The Griffin Survivor case for Apple iPad 2 is priced up at £54.99, and is available to purchase now from Firebox. Would you but the Griffin Survivor case for your new tablet PC?

The packaging of the iTrip Auto is pleasing on the eye, and makes it easy to view the product. The Griffin iTrip Auto allows you to not only listen your iPod or iPhone in your car, but it will also charge your devices as well.

I have now taken the gadget out of its packaging and it is surprisingly light, and iTrip Auto’s large, easy-to-read backlit LCD screen makes it easy to see. What I do like is the power unit that plugs into the cigarette lighter of your car; it has a push power button on top, which adds a bit of quality to the device.

The iTrip works by broadcasting your music wirelessly to your car’s FM radio. Getting started is easy, just plug your iTrip into your Apple iPod or iPhone and begin to play some music; you won’t be able to hear any music yet. Plug the iTrip into your car’s cigarette lighter and press the SmartScan button.

In just a few seconds, the SmartScan will find an available FM frequency, then tune your car radio into that same frequency. This can also be done manually, if you want to try to find a better frequency.

I can now hear my music from my iPhone being played through my car radio and I must say that I am surprised. The quality of the music seems a bit lower than if listening to my radio or CD, and I notice a slight bit of hissing. I have now turned my engine on, just to make sure that I do not get any interference. The good news is, I can now listen to my music stored on my iPhone, the Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter certainly seems like a great device to me.
