Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, Surprisingly Water Resistant!

iPhone 6s and 6s Plus

How Waterproof Is The iPhone 6s?

How Durable Is The iPhone 6s?

Greetings BulletTrainers!

We wanted to share some fantastic news about Apple's new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus! While it wasn't an advertised feature in Apple's keynote, the YouTube videos below demonstrates some EXTREME water-resistance in the new iPhones!

In the video below, you see the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus immersed in water for a very extended duration of time. Both devices were immersed for over an hour before they started to show any signs of water damage!

This is awesome news for BulletTrain customers who are using the new SAFE Wallet 6 Plus.

The only really objection we received in the past was that the SAFE Wallet did not offer waterproof protection for the iPhone, but now that is no longer an issue as the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are extremely water resistant.

What does this mean? It means people who live or work in wet environments can now use the SAFE Wallet without worry!!!

Boiling Water TEST!!?!

OK. This is absolutely crazy, but this other dude boils his iPhone 6s in water for a long time, and it keeps working!!!

Deep Water TEST!!?!

Drop Testing

In this video they do drop testing that compares the S versions of the 6 and 6 Plus to the standard versions. 

Forbes Features SAFE Wallet for iPhone 6 Plus

Forbes Features SAFE Wallet for iPhone 6 Plus

SAFE Wallet Will Channel Your Inner Secret Agent

Rex Santus from Forbes.com just published an article named "These iPhone Cases Will Channel Your Inner Secret Agent", and he put the SAFE Wallet in the top position. He said: 

"This iPhone case (SAFE Wallet for iPhone 6 Plus) has a ton of utility for something that’s thinner than a Sharpie marker. You can store cash, credit cards and more in this case’s numerous compartments. In this photo alone, the SAFE case is holding cash, several cards, two keys, two extra SIM cards, a SIM card removal tool and a 32GB Flash drive. It’s the perfect case for someone who needs to keep something close but out of sight. The SAFE Wallet case goes for $69.99."

BulletTrain SAFE Wallet for iPhone 6 Plus T1 Production Prototype Report

BulletTrain SAFE Wallet for iPhone 6 Plus

T1 Production Prototype Report

The first production prototypes were completed early this week, and after a super-indepth evaluation I am reporting our progress. The T1 prototype sample photos below were taken in Asia, and we will have them in house in California next week for an even deeper evaluation. So far everything is looking really good. So far we only have one issue we have identified and need to resolve. We will know much more next week and will post another detailed update, but wanted to share our progress so far.

Just to be crystal clear, all the parts pictured in the  photos in this post were injection-molded in our tool, which you can see at the bottom of this post.

As previously mentioned, we only have one issue we have to resolve, which is illustrated below in the photo of the BulletTrain SAFE Wallet for iPhone 6 Plus. Notice toward the top of the right edge there is an uneven bump. This needs to be fixed. Our plastics engineer and tooling engineer have already come up with a solution, and it is being incorporated into the tool design this weekend.

The photos below show our tool for making the main case body of the SAFE Wallet for iPhone 6 Plus. I realize that to most people the SAFE Wallet looks really simple, and they imagine it is really easy to make. The reality is the exact opposite!!!!

I also believe there is another strong misconception that the role of the designer is to simply draw the design and then the machine spits the product out. In reality, as a design house we spend a great deal of time on the tooling design to make the actual parts. This process is extremely challenging and complex.

The BulletTrain SAFE Wallet for iPhone 6 is so far beyond anything else that exists on the market today. The reality is that when you are pushing the design, engineering and tooling envelope as we are, it takes time. As they say, "Good things take time."

This is a superb video commercial for Philips Hue. About a year ago, I purchased a set of Philips Hue bulbs, but ended up returning them because I didn't like how poor the colors were, especially when on green and blue.
