The Bump Case features semi-rigid construction to allow snag-free removal from pockets. Two-material construction combines a hard protective shell with an inner shock absorbing layer, low profile PMAG-style side ribs for added grip, and single-piece snap-on design for easy installation and removal. The Bump Case has the benefits of a hard polymer shell and semi-rigid liner without adding unnecessary bulk.
Talk about multi-tasking, Magpul is fighting the Colorado legislature, manufacturing PMAGs like there’s no tomorrow and now they’ve announced the release of the Field Case for the iPhone 5.
Featuring the classic look but with new material and new camera/flash port geometry they are shipping this Friday. Made in the USA and only $12.95. Look for new colors in the weeks ahead, as well as a revamped 4/4S case with the same tweaks.

We’re big fans of the home brewed Tactical NAV app and its creator Jonathon Springer so we’re quite pleased to bring you some news. If anyone has ever earned the title TacHacker, it’s this guy.
First off, the makers of Tactical NAV recently released “Compass NAV” for Android a couple of weeks ago. Basically it’s just the compass function of TACNAV and it’s priced at .99 cents.
Tactical NAV is also in the midst of an update that will include –
– Separate iPad and Android versions … plus a new iPhone version (free update for existing users)
– Troop tracking (all users on all systems — iPhone, iPad, Android will be able to see each other on the battlefield along with MMS/SMS messaging capabilities between each other, etc)
– A realtime “FreeDraw” – a sandtable-like capability that will act very similar to BFT and CPOF
– iCloud integration
– Facebook integration
– Ability to record video with geolocation-data updated in realtime for playback later
– Voice annotating function
– UTM addition
– “Go to Grid” will be able to work with MGRS, LAT/LONG, and UTM
Here are some screenshots of Tactical NAV running on iPad.

The MINITS iWitness system allows you to adapt your iPhone to your spotting scope (digiscope) and is compatible with 3G/4G cellular networks. The MINITS iWitness AW (All Weather) mount accepts the LIFEPROOF encased iPhone 4s and does not cause interference with phone controls or reception. The SSA (Spotting Scope Adapter) fits with iWitness AW mount via the spotting scope adapter insert.

We are constantly impressed with the development work that Special Operations Apps conducts. This latest project sees them teaming with US Night Vision, Hoodman USA, and Jonathan Springer to produce the Special Operations Apps/System for Optical Attachments or [SOA]2. It offers image geo-tagging in the standard Military Grid Reference System in frame-stamped high-definition video, geo-located and accurate within seven (7) meters.
Unveiled at last week’s SOFIC, the concept is to attach mobile mat devices to weapons and use them to record data and add value to the weapon’s other sensors such as image intensification systems.
SOA established a Joint Teaming Alliance (JTA) with US Night Vision, Hoodman USA, and Jonathan Springer, the US Army captain who created the critically acclaimed Tactical Nav App that has been soldier-deployed in the fiercest combat zones.
In a press release, SOA founder K. Dominic Cincotti related, “In addition to the Apple iPhone 4S and the New iPad,”we’re also excited about the platforms and devices like the Windows phones, the Android, the Lumia 9000, and the Nokia PureView, with its game-changing 41-megapixel camera.” He added that all of these are under consideration for [SOA]2 development, and his companies are in continuing talks with Nokia.
SSD Needs a New App – And You Can Help. As many of you already know, the SSD app for iPhone is no more. We need to get a new one up and running, and we’d like to expand access to the Droid users of the world. Here’s the issue. Our old app was effectively a very specific RSS feed reader that only read our feed. iTunes no longer accepts apps like this. This means we need to offer something more. If we are going to undertake the thousands of dollars required to produce this app, we’d like it to have added value for our readers. So what we’d like to know is what kinds of functionality would you like to see in an SSD app? One thing we can tell you that we are NOT going to do is sell anything through the app. Also, if anyone has special expertise in developing Multi platform apps please let us know. Finally, if any companies are interested in sponsoring the app please tell us.
We look forward to your input in the comments section of this post on SSD. Thank you!
