Hunting is one of America’s most enduring and popular pastimes, enjoyed by millions of people every year. In addition to the challenge and thrill of the hunt, this activity offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy the beauty and splendor of the outdoors.
But the tough and varied environments faced by hunters can take a toll on their smartphones, which are increasingly relied upon as tools, such as GPS navigation, weather reporting, and emergency communication.
SnowLizard Products were developed precisely with hunters in mind. Our
Rugged Phone Cases are engineered to withstand the rigors of the hunt, with state-of-the-art materials and innovative designs that offer optimum protection and functionality.
The SLXtreme series – now available for iPhone 6/6s, Galaxy S5, and iPad 4 – can withstand falls and abrasions from up to 6.6 ft (2m), and survive submersion in water depths of 6.6 ft (2m). All this protection is offered while keeping your phone lightweight, portable, and accessible.
If you are in for a long hunt, whether planned or unexpected, the SLXtreme comes equipped with an integrated charger that more than doubles your device’s power. It also includes a built-in solar panel that keep you powered for even longer.
SLXtreme cases come in a variety of colors to suit your hunting needs, from winter motifs to forest camouflage. Accessories such as the SLPower Portable Charge and the
SLXtreme Belt Clip provide even more optimal utility.
These amazing features were on display in last week’s SHOT Show in Las Vegas, the world’s largest gathering for firearms, hunting, and outdoor products, with over 1,600 exhibitors and 62,000 professionals from all over the globe. SnowLizard will also be exhibited in next week’s Outdoor Retailer (January 22-25) in Salt Lake City, which is focused around winter recreation and the winter market, showcasing gear that is often sold in major retailers like Bass Pro Shops, REI, and Gander Mountain
Our presence in these seminal events speaks to SnowLizard Products’ great application for hunters, campers, military personnel, and other outdoors enthusiasts seeking optimum protection for their devices.

This past Christmas, many people received exciting new gifts like the iPad 4 or iPhone, which are fun and useful devices to start the New Year with. But for all the technological power, these versatile gadgets are very vulnerable: from an accidental slip of the fingers that sends them tumbling, to the multitude of natural hazards outdoors, there are countless ways your new gift can be rendered a short lifespan.
In fact, industry research shows that Americans spent an incredible $5 billion on repairing and replacing iPhones just these past two years. If like many people, your New Year resolutions include being more active, traveling more, or getting fit, you want to make sure your devices do not get damaged along the way.
A recent article in USA Today goes over some of the characteristics that come with any reliable and innovative case:
If you're looking for real protection for your smartphone or tablet, picking up a case from a kiosk in the mall isn't going to cut it. Even if it has a really cute cartoon character on it or says it's made of bamboo — if it's not specifically designed to repel dust, dirt, water, or all of the above, it's not going to.
If you want real protection from the elements, it's all about reading the fine print. Before you consider dropping some cash, make sure that the case you're looking at has been rated as either waterproof or, at the very least, water resistant. If a case is rated as waterproof to a certain depth, you can be reasonably confident that it will live up to its billing.
Water resistant is a bit trickier, as anything claiming to be water resistant isn't actually designed to be submerged in water whatsoever. It can still protect against a spill or perhaps even an accidental trip into the sink or toilet, but not for long.
With these standards in mind, the article highlighted SnowLizard as among its top three recommendations:
The SLXTREME cases from Snow Lizard take protection to an almost absurd level. They're sand, dust, and dirt proof. They're also waterproof up to 6.6 feet, can take a drop of up to 6 feet without damage your device, and come with a built-in battery backup that keeps your phone kicking long after its normal battery life. Oh, and they even have a built-in solar panel on the rear so you can recharge anywhere you have a bit of sunlight. How's that for the ultimate in protection?
SnowLizard is very proud to have been recognized as a trusted source for smartphone protection. Our Rugged Phone Cases reflect the very highest standards of engineering and design, providing optimum protection and usability without sacrificing style and accessibility. The SLXtreme iPad 4 provides this same high level of defense to Apple’s popular tablet, while accessories like the SLXtreme Belt Clip offer even more utility.
So whatever new gadgets or lifestyle changes the New Year will bring, SnowLizard Products will be your ideal companion. To learn more, contact 786-401-7204 or [email protected].
America's vast and diverse natural beauty has long been the outdoors alluring to millions of people across the nation. From hiking and camping, to rafting and hunting, there is something for everyone to enjoy
In addition to the fun and leisure that comes with outdoor activities, there is growing scientific evidence that spending time in nature – whether at the park or in the wilderness – can have major positive effect on your health.
The following are some of the many benefits that the outdoors can offer, according to studies at Harvard and elsewhere:
Boosting Vitamin D Production
Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because exposure to sunlight increases its levels. It offers a wide range of disease-fighting capabilities, from osteoporosis and cancer to depression and heart disease. Unfortunately, most Americans do not get enough of it, even though it is easy to: just going outside a few times a week for 10 to 15 minutes (especially on a sunny day) is usually enough to get the amount you need. Just keep in mind that staying out any longer should entail wearing sunscreen.
Increasing Physical Health
Although it is possible to workout at home or at a gym, various surveys have found that time outdoors is more encouraging to physical activity, especially for children. In fact, one study showed that kids who spent more time outside tended to be twice as active as usual. People of all ages are more likely to be active in the stimulating and varied atmosphere offered by the outdoors, whether it is hiking, jogging, or taking a stroll through a park. Moreover, outside activities can often be incorporated with useful tasks, like landscaping, gardening, or yard work.
Improving Your Mood
Exposure to light, especially the natural kind, has been shown to improve one’s mood and promote more positive emotions. Physical activity in a natural environment has a similar impact, boosting the production of hormones that reduce depression and stress. Randomized trials in the U.K. showed that even a mere five minutes of outdoor exercise was enough to alleviated negative emotions. In the long-term, regular periods of outdoor time can lead to major boosts in your mood and outlook.
Enhancing Concentration
Research shows that those with ADHD demonstrate greater focus after some time outdoors; in fact, many performed better on a test of concentration after a walk through a park. Though such studies have been limited to children, there are great implications for adults with or without ADHD: going outdoors, even briefly, provides an opportunity to clear your head and recollect your thoughts, especially during busy or stressful times.
Faster Healing
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh researchers reported that spinal surgery patients endured less pain and stress, and needed fewer pain medications, when exposed to natural light. Another showed that even having a view of nature from inside the room speed up recovery. Many hospitals feature courtyards and tranquility spaces precisely because such time outdoors, whenever possible, can mitigate the pain and strain of recovery. A Japanese study showed that immune systems were more potent following a walk through a forest or park.
Whether you are an outdoors enthusiast or simply enjoy the occasional foray into the local park, you now have many great reasons to increase your time outside. Snow Lizard Products like the SLXtreme line of Rugged Phone Cases, or the reliable SLXtreme Belt Clip, will make your outdoor adventures even easier to pursue.

Snow Lizard is passionate about helping people enjoy the rigorous lifestyle they love without risking their precious mobile devices. One of the many interesting outdoor activities being highlighted this week is Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP), which is a great way to enjoy an ocean, lake, and rivers without needing much gear or waves.
In addition to offering fantastic views of your environment, SUP is a great way to get a full body workout, even becoming popular for cross-training. To get started, you need only a few key pieces of equipment.
First and foremost of course is the stand-up paddle board, which can be found in most nautical supply or watersports stores. There are a wide variety of boards to choose from depending on the paddler's weight and experience.
The next key piece is the stand up paddle, which is distinct for its angle or "elbow" in the shaft for maximum efficiency. A good rule of thumb is to choose one roughly 6" to 8" taller than the paddler.
It is strongly recommended that you wear a personal flotation device (PFD) at all times when doing water sports, no matter your experience level. For your safety, always wear proper clothing: a wet suit or dry suit in cool conditions to avoid hypothermia, and shorts, a t-shirt, or a bathing suit for hotter climates. Always make sure that whatever you wear is light, moves with you, and can get wet.
If you are just getting into this sport, start out in flat, calm water, which needs to be free of obstacles like boats and buoys. In the beginning, it may be easier for you to kneel on the board instead of trying to stand upright. Once you are ready to stand up on the board, put one foot at a time on the board and place your feet where your knees were. You can also get help to stabilize the board as you get use to standing on the board.
With enough patience and practice, you can enjoy the many benefits of SUP. Products like the SLXtreme line of
Rugged Phone Cases and the
SLXtreme Belt Clip are designed to withstand the rigors of numerous outdoor activities.
