LifeProof’s tough FRE, NEXT and SLAM casings for the Galaxy S9 and S9+ coming to Malaysia

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are one of the most impressive phones ever made in recent memory that pairs up an impressive rear camera, stereo speakers and a blazing fast  Exynos processor too. They are also somewhat on the pricey side which means it is in your best interests to ensure that they remain in one piece which is where LifeProof’s exceptionally durable SLAM, NEXT and FRE casings come into the picture.

Much like LifeProof’s SLAM series casings for other devices, the LifeProof SLAM for the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is a two-piece armoured casing with a similar dual-toned colour scheme that is able to survive drops up to 2.2 meters to the ground. The casings integrate a transparent rear to show off the mirrored backplate of the S9 and S9+ whilst the 3.5mm audio jack and USB Type C port are unobstructed to offer easy access at all times. The casings come in your choice of three colours – a two-toned crimson and aquamarine trimmed finish called Aloha Sunset, a gray and orange coloured combo dubbed the Lava Chaser and a striking neon green and black combo they’ve dubbed Nightflash.

The LifeProof NEXT casing is the next step up in terms of durability and toughness with a two-piece outer shell and six layers of protection to ensure a Galaxy S9 or S9+ is protected not only from drops up to 2.2 metres to the ground but from dirt and snow too on account of integrated IP5X protection. The NEXT casings comes in three different colours – Black Crystal, a rather pinkish looking Cactus Rose and a grayish Pebble Beach.

While it’s not available yet, the LifeProof FRE is the toughest, most durable casing that they have for the Galaxy S9 and S9+. Where it tops its siblings is that it’s also fully sealed against immersion in up to 6.6 feet of water for up to an hour as it has an integrated screen-guard and fully sealed ports. This is, of course, on top of the ability to survive a 2.2m metre drop to the deck. The FRE comes in four colours –  a purplish shade called Chakra, a greenish Dropin, a black and green Nightlight and an aquamarine hue called Wipeout.

What elevates LifeProof’s casings for Samsung’s S9 and S9+ over the majority out there is that they all bear the ‘Designed for Samsung’ logo which is issued specifically for third party hardware as part of Samsung’s prestigious Mobile Accessory Partnership programme.
