2013 looks like it will be a great year for case-maker Incipio as they recently revealed an impressive looking lineup of iPhone cases that will be released over the next year.
The show pieces being their ATLAS™ Waterproof Ultra-Rugged Case and offGRID™ Pro iPhone 5 cases, as well as a cool lineup of four extra functional and rugged models of iPhone 4S/5 cases designed in partnership with trusted toolmaker STANLEY specifically for anyone in need of a tough case.
And these eight new offerings are in addition to Incipio’s 18 already existing models of iPhone cases!
It will be interesting to see how the ATLAS™, offGRID™ and STANLEY lines go head to head with similar offerings from LifeProof, Mophie and Otterbox as they each currently dominate their respective areas of expertise.
Though they had better be careful, because from where I’m standing, it looks like Incipio could be doing some serious dethroning this year.

ATLAS™ Waterproof Ultra-Rugged CaseWaterproof, drop & shockproof and dustproof and even features a tempered glass front to protect your iPhone’s screen, while still retaining full access to all ports and controls. In fact, the folks at Incipio are so confident in the case’s abilities that they back it up with a one year waterproof warranty! Now that’s something that even the folks at LifeProof won’t do.       Expected Release Date: February 2013 |

offGRID™ PROUpdated for the iPhone 5, the all-new offGRID™ PRO case features a removable 2000mAh battery as well as a double sled battery charger that also acts as an external back-up battery pack with a microUSB cable and 3.5mm headphone extender. offGRID™ PRO PLUSSame as the offGRID™ PRO, except that it also comes with an additional 2000mAh battery, so you’ll never be without power and a 2.1A international travel charger.     Expected Release Date: March 2013 |

offGRID™Unlike the ‘PRO’ versions, the offGRID™ case features a non-removebale battery, but it does weigh in at a slightly larger, 2500mAh and comes with a microUSB cable for syncing and charging as well as a 3.5mm headphone extender.  Expected Release Date: March 2013 |

Dozer™An ultra-rugged case, the Dozer™ features ‘ergonomically designed impact absorbing silicone outer for added grip and protection’. All ports and openings are protected, but still accessible. It comes with a protective holster and belt clip and is available in traditional STANLEY yellow and black as well as several other colors.   |

Foreman™A combination of silicone core and nylon shell, the Foreman™ case ‘provides the optimum level of protection on the job site’. It features raised edges and special silicone textures for a no-slip ergonomic grip. It also comes with a protective holster and belt clip and like all the STANLEY models, is available in black/yellow and several other colors.  |

Technician™A thinner, yet rugged case, the Technician™ is a combination of Rigid Plextonium™ frame with impact resistant semi-rigid Flex2O™ soft shell core. It has a sligthly raised core to help protect from every day surface wear and comes with a holster and belt clip.  |
 |
Highwire™The Highwire™ case is a two piece design consisting of a silicone core and separate rigid Plextonium™ frame that fits on top. The outer shell helps to protect the back corners and sides while allowing the silicone core to peek out for a softer grip. The design is quite reminiscent of Otterbox’s Commuter case for the 4th gen iPod Touch. This case also comes with the holster and belt clip.  |
