The PhotoProX is a rugged, waterproof case for the iPhone 5 and 5S that accommodates four included lenses.

Your iPhone fits into a plastic sled which, in turn, slides into the clear plastic case. The top door, where the phone slides in, has a tight-fitting gasket and a strong latch. There is also a bottom door that permits access to the 3.5mm audio jack, the Lightning charging port, and the phones mic and speaker. This little door snaps shut with effort and is very difficult to open due to the necessary waterproofing gasket.
