Providing Canadians with the freedom to go anywhere to get the perfect shot with their smartphone is Optrix by Body Glove. Officially launched on June 1st at select Staples locations across the country and at staples.ca, this specialized system centers around a highly protective iPhone case that is waterproof (up to 33 feet) and drop proof (as high as 20 feet). It offers interchangeable lenses, mounting supports, and other accessories designed specifically for the iPhone® 5/5S and now 6, smartphones.

"With so many consumers using their smartphone as their primary camera, it is more important than ever to have a phone that works with you in every possible scenario," said Geoff Bernstein, Product Marketing Manager of Mobile Accessories, Fellowes Canada.

"The Optrix system enables users to safely capture your experiences on video and photo in a variety of highly active environments, such as surfing, snowboarding or zip lining.  In addition, it doesn't interfere with existing phone functionality and consumers can share their content seamlessly to social media seconds after photos or videos are captured."

The Optrix system starts at $129.99 for the iPhone 5/5S kit, which includes the waterproof mountable case and two professional grade lenses.
