Introducing The Protector: A Tough iPhone Bike Case

You asked for it, so we made it. We’re proud to announce a brand new product from Wahoo Fitness,The Protector It’s an awesome iPhone Bike Case with NO ANT+ technology. What does that mean, you say? Let me tell you.

First, we had a bunch of folks emailing, facebooking and tweeting us that they love the idea of our case, but were less interested in measuring cadence and power information. And if all you need is a case to protect and hold your iPhone while you’re cycling, $150 is a tough price point. If you’re more of a casual rider, beach cruiser, etc. this might be just the case for you!

Second, as we learned more about Bluetooth Smart and how the iPhone 4S and other phone are starting to use it, we thought it’d be great to have a case without the “integrated Wahoo Key.” As we release new Bluetooth Smart enabled sensors (like the Wahoo Blue HR- coming soon!) You’ll be able to use this less expensive case to connect to them to your iPhone 4S.

The Protector features the same rugged construction of the Wahoo Bike Case, with a hard plastic case and 6 clips to secure your phone in place. It’s water and shock resistant so your phone will be protected from the elements and from any spills (not that any of us have EVER fallen…). It mounts easily to most bikes with a semi-permanent mount and quick-release connection. This way you can purchase extra mounts for all of your different rides and use the same case. It also features all of the same ports as the Wahoo Bike Case—front and rear view camera, headphone port, and Micro-USB port so you can connect our optional Wahoo Extended Battery for double the battery life. The touch screen is fully accessible and functional. To be perfectly clear, this case WILL NOT connect to your ANT+ sensors. But it works with lots of awesome cycling apps and is perfect if you don't need to connect to ANT+ sensors.

As the experts in smartphone fitness technology, we’re always working hard to bring you the latest and greatest solutions to track your fitness activities on your phone.
