Empowering daily life: 6 Cases from TORRAS that liberate iPhone 15 users
With a brand new iPhone, you're getting a platform not just for everyday use but for exploration, creation, and entertainment. While Apple designs its phones to be exceptional devices on their own, their hardware is actually just the starting point. A quality case for your iPhone not only protects it from the perils of everyday use but can also enhance its functionality and features. That's just the kind of improvement TORRAS attempts to make with its new lineup of kickstand-wielding cases, each designed to complement and enhance the new iPhone 15 series.
One thing we take for granted is that when we're using our phones, they're in our hands, but that's not always the case. In fact, we can do a wide variety of things with our phones while they're sitting on a surface nearby. Maybe that surface is flat. Maybe that surface is a rock that the phone is precariously propped up on. Without a stand it can be a little bit tricky to use iPhones effectively when they’re not in our hands. That's the difficulty TORRAS is solving with these new cases.
The UPRO Ostand case from TORRAS fits a circular kickstand ring around the center of the back of the new iPhone 15. The central kickstand ring doesn’t only provide a way to prop up the phone in various positions, but also serves as a hand hold for a more secure grip.
On the standard UPRO Ostand, the kickstand can be positioned at three different angles, so when you’re watching a movie or video, you can set it into landscape mode. If you're trying to take a picture with your friends, you can use whichever position that gives you the widest angle and gets everyone in the shot. If you want even more flexibility, the UPRO Ostand R incorporates a 360-degree rotating kickstand and it comes with both Matte and Diamond Clear finishes.
These stands also offer serious protection with SGS-certification for drops up to 12 feet. The cases are slim, easily slipping into your pocket and allowing wireless charging without removing the case. They provide a grippy and pleasant exterior with a hard polycarbonate back.
To enjoy TORRAS's flexible kickstands and enhance your phone’s durability to the extreme, the UPRO Ostand SS builds in a special ShockMAT Airbag Tech, developed by TORRAS Lab, which effectively cushions each phone not only with rubber that resists compression but also air gaps that can protect the phone from falls up to 12 feet onto hard surfaces, absorbing 98% of the impact. In addition to the protection, the case still includes the round, multi-position kickstand as well to free your hands up.
TORRAS didn't stop with the Ostand models. The company understands that users' diverse needs require diverse solutions. While the UPRO Ostand Cases feature circular kickstands around the MagSafe magnet ring at the center of the TORRAS’s UPRO Pstand situates the kickstand down at the bottom edge of the phone to prop it up into a landscape position while staying completely out of the way of regular operation Magsafe charging and external device attachments. And with ShockMAT protection, the phone is protected against 12-foot drops.
Alternatively, the UPRO Lstand cases fit their kickstands around the camera housing to offer extra protection for the lenses while otherwise letting the design of the phone shine through the optically clear cases. Despite the simpler design of the Lstand case, they still can offer 8-foot drop protection. They also don’t get in the way of MagSafe charging when the kickstand is open. With this design, you can easily prop up the phone and keep it charging for a marathon movie-watching session or a long video call with friends and family.
TORRAS isn’t just sticking a basic kickstand onto all of these UPRO cases either. The stands themselves are made of sturdy aerospace-grade aluminum or zinc alloy. And many of the cases feature enhanced Halbach MagSafe tech, which not only ensure they are compatible with MagSafe devices but also upgrades their magnetic strength by as much as 60%. Colorful and clear designs aren’t the only way the cases appeal to the senses. With Sliproof laser tech, TORRAS is able to etch fine textures into the cases to improve not only the grip of the case but also the feel of it in your hands.
