For years guys have been telling me that they wished Juggernaut’s handheld device cases were more affordable. Now, they’ve leveraged everything they learned building the program-level cases in order to introduce streamlined variants that you can afford to buy out of your pocket. Check these out.
With more waterproof smartphones on the market, Juggernaut.Case™ introduces two new levels of protective cases evolved from our field-proven rugged hard case. The new cases are an affordable solution for users that don’t need all of the protection of the original Juggernaut.Case™ but still seek impact/drop protection in addition to full compatibility with all existing Juggernaut.Case™ mounts. The new cases are called the “SLEEV” and the “BUMPR”. Both are available with or without cables for connecting to Tactical Radios/Hubs.
While the SLEEV retains the capability to utilize the new QDD (quick disconnect DOOR) and the QD Cable assemblies via the two thumbscrews, the BUMPR is either Cabled or Non-Cabled with sealed access ports to the micro-USB connector and 3.5 mm audio jack. A new low-cost cable assembly for these cases that terminates in a standard USB-A connector allows unshielded data transfer and 5V power to the device from any portable external battery or car charger, etc.

Is everything they do Samsung based?
I’d like to learn the “why” on Samsung. I wonder if they’re leveraging Samsung Knox?
SSD, are Samsung devices the go-to for JTACs? Who else uses them?
-Mike
just search for Samsung in the search bar here on ssd for your answer, spoiler alert yes the military chose the android over ios
There’s hope. USASOC is looking to transition to iOS.
That transitioning to iOS would be better is highly disputable.
I guess it would depend on their requirements – can’t comment on that – but technologically wise, Android is vastly superior and versatile, for exemple allowing a specially developed Android version (added security, field-optimised interface, etc) that simply isn’t possible with iOS, not to mention the much larger array of compatible hardware that makes it possible to build nearly anything to custom specifications at a surprisingly affordable cost.
That specially produced Android version doesn’t want really exist, you know. Each time the vendor aka integrator buys batches of the device and individually modifies them.
Or you could deploy an Enterprise Mobility Management system like Good Technologies, and then run whatever device you want and know it’s secure without having to rely on the native device security.
Are versions for earlier phones in the works as well? I would love to pick one up for my Galaxy S5.
There is a SLEEV version for the Galaxy S5 as well. Will be live on the webstore next week. http://www.shop.JuggernautCase.com
ATAK is currently Android only and that’s a huge part of JTAC usage. It seems Juggernaut caters towards the programs available which is overwhelmingly Android based.
Then there’s the fact that Android is just plain better than IOS.
But there’s a very large IOS crowd they are missing out on.
What applications/ software does IOS have that you would want mounted to your kit? Siri? These cases are for specific purposes. I would have to raise the douche flag on anyone sporting one of these cases on a personal phone. That’s what Otter Boxes are for.
These cases allow you to cable your phone to multiple devices such as radios
To be fair, I’ve been rather unimpressed with the longevity of my past Otterbox cases. I’d like the same care that went into building my expensive phone to go into the case that protects it.
As far as casting judgment goes, I see no reason why you could run a Magpul case but not this. Or if I wanted a solution to run my iPhone whilst hiking or hunting, this could be a great setup as the cables are optional.
We are tracking the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus… Also the iPad Mini. As iTAK becomes available, we will be poised with cases to support the iOS devices it runs on.
That is ignoring the need for iOS users running things like Geosuite, Motorola Wave, and other critical use civilian applications. Having the ability to ruggedize an iPad Mini mounted to your pfd, when trying to manuever a Zodiac 420 swiftwater boat between houses (trying to find 5804 Springville Ln when the street signs are 4′ below the surface of the water isnt always a simple task) and georeference a 911 call would be useful. Just like many DOD users are locked in to Android devices many civilian users are issued iOS devices. Not to mention you are missing a huge market segment from a simple ecomnomic perspective.
And Csc0321, just because you have a picture of a volunteer firefighter with his ass crack hanging out in your head does not mean that there are not legitimate use applications you do not have exposure to. Try to be less of a prick.
It’s not that large of a crowd, iOS accounts for 23% of the market (using numbers reported back in May). Android on the other hand is 70%.
It’s when companies decide to go iOS exclusive that you have to start scratching your head and wonder.
I think thats somewhat misleading when considering the high levels of operating system fragmentation present in the Android ecosystem as well as the much higher number of device models with multiple form factors. The market is there, they already completed the designs through the prototyping phase; I am sure they have reason for not bringing the iOS device cases to market yet but for the life of me I don’t see them.
I ended up purchasing one of their cases about 8 months ago for a NOTE4 and I’m currently running killswitch on it , words can’t discrive how impressed I am with the quality of the product and their customer service was awesome , glad to see them making cases that are more affordable there is simply nothing else like it from a rugged perspective.
Is there any waterproofness to these cases? I think I might have an application for one in the future, but being in a maritime environment it would need to be waterproof.
You’re joking right? Look at the pictures, observe the holes, and read the words.
The S7 is waterproof, so this case will suffice for fresh water immersion for that particular pjone. But, if you’re talking sub surface salt water you’ll need one of the original style cases with sealed compartment.
