While in Belize a couple months ago, I took the opportunity to field test a new iPhone case designed for action sports photography + video. (I'm a big fan of field testing new tech/gadgets; see my out-of-the-box successes with the DJI quadcopter---> here). Without getting in the weeds here, let's be honest.
