G-Form’s made a name for itself with extreme phone and tablet cases that can protect a gadget during falls from over 100,000 feet. But since rarely are any of us in a situation where we fumble and drop our toys from space, the company’s new G90 case that turns your phone into a GoPro-like action cam is a little more exciting.

[CES 2013] G-Form has decided to use CES 2013 as the debut platform for its G90 case. Just what makes the G90 case so special? It seems that G-Form has finally perfected what they claim to be the “world’s first case to truly turn any smartphone or iPod touch into a sports action camera.” That is a pretty lofty claim, but then again, such a niche market segment does not have too many candidates, making the G90 case quite a standout on its own.
Basically, the G90 case will integrate unique, multiple proprietary and patent pending technologies so that smartphones and iPods can be flat mounted in an extremely low profile, being aerodynamic in nature and sleek as sports action cameras. We are talking about your flat mounted devices shooting images at a 90° angle, and such technology also increases the field of view simultaneously to capture all the action in a 140º wide angle format.
It comes with G-Form’s RPT impact technology to make sure that the best possible impact protection available is always on hand. Expect the G90 case to arrive this June for a yet undisclosed price.

Just because Felix Baumgartner set records by jumping from 128,000 feet doesn’t mean he has a lock on stratospheric freefall stunts: see G-Form’s latest video (after the break) as proof. In keeping with the tradition of launching a case line and then subjecting it to abuse on camera, the company dropped a new Xtreme iPhone 5 case from a balloon that reached 100,000 feet before it and its payload — which actually happened to be a 5th gen iPod touch — fell to the Nevada desert. Not surprisingly, that we’re hearing about the story means the drop went as planned — apart from needing some time to warm up after a plunge through -60F skies, the MP3 player emerged in fine shape. Is the freefall a publicity play that won’t affect how anyone uses an Xtreme in real life? You bet. Still, it’s one of the more dramatic drop tests we’ll witness, and evidence the case can take some exceptional abuse; after all, it’s not every day that our mobile devices reach terminal velocity.
