Photos: Tower 26 taken with an iPhone inside a LifeProof™ waterproof Case

Photographer: ©Shiggy Ichinomiya /// GoShiggyGo.Com

In the photos below I wanted you to have "proof" that I took photos with my iPhone in the LifeProof  casing.   I did this by taking a photo using  a GoPro making sure that the orange casing was included in the photo. 
You'll see one subject matter taken at two different camera angles using two different cameras; a LifeProof and a GoPro



Photos taken at Tower 26 using an orange waterproof LifeProof™ case (with LifeJacket) for iPhone. 

Photos below were also taken of the LifeProof™ case in action, using a  GoPro.

(Above: Taken with iPhone in a LifeProof™ case.  
On the right, wearing a white swim cap is pro triathlete, Terenzo Bozzone. Terenzo was practicing with Tower 26. 
Here is a link to his blog. Click HERE for Terenzo's blog. )



(Above: Photo of orange LifeProof case taken using my GoPro at 6:30am. The sun is not up. The light emanating from the back of the iPhone screen is illuminated greatly because it's still relatively dark and grey out.)

 (Above: Waiting patiently for the 60 plus Tower 26 members to rush by me like Storm Troopers in black wetsuits. )

 (Above: YES, yes, LifeProof is WaterProof.)

(Above: Stop splashing water on my lens y'all!!! LOL!!)

(Above: Unexpected wave from behind smashes into me causing water to spray everywhere.)

 (Above: Interesting!!  Floating body on the right!!!) 





 (Above: Far right is brainy and gorgeous Libby Bradly.)


(Above: LifeProof comes in a nicely designed box.)

(Above: Before I took my iPhone in a LifeProof case out to sea, I checked the integrity of the o-rings in my 180 gallon freshwater fish tank. As you can see above, I weighted the case sans iPhone under a heavy petrified piece of wood. My 7 year old silver dollar and 6 year old orange parrot fish watch on to make sure the test was conducted under tight water specifications.) 

(Above: My orange parrot fish shoes me away because it wants to eat fish food----the orange granules resting atop of the LifeProof case.)

(Above: This is the buoyant "LIFEJACKET," that encloses the LIFEPROOF Case, that encloses my iPhone!!!)


(Above: Got a shout out from LIFEPROOF on their 
Twitter Feed. Thank you!)

Excerpt below from Specialized® 
http://iamspecialized.com/triathlon/rider/jordan-rapp

Jordan Rapp was born on July 28th, 1980. Three weeks later, he went for his first open water swim (sort of) in the waters of Lost Lake in Brewster, NY. Eighteen years later, he took first strokes of a different kind - in a rowing shell - on Princeton University's Lake Carnegie. After a high school career focused on squash and lacrosse, he began training for endurance athletics on a Concept II ergometer in the winter of 1998/99. Millions of meters and millions of strokes later, he was injured for the first time in his rowing career while training to make the U.S. National Team. And so, in April of 2003, he clipped a pair of aerobars onto his road bike, bought a pair of race wheels with the first tax return of his post-graduate career, and never looked back except to occasionally take a peek at the competition.)
