Blueline Sensors' new modular protective case for the iPhone 5 has mounting rails for attaching tactical tools including extended-reach search poles, quick change lenses, and the company's own line of SWAT and critical incident tactical microphones. Using existing or hotspot network connections, the smartphone becomes an audio/video situational awareness toolbox. The CrITR (“critter”) 5i case protects the phone with a full-cage elastomer seal and shock liner inside a tough polycarbonate outer shell. Four mounting rails provide for attachment of a growing variety of accessories designed for LE and military operators.
