YETI built its reputation on gear that’s basically designed to never die. Their coolers are certified as grizzly-resistant, their drinkware outlasts the vehicles it rides in, and the GoBox cargo cases we use here at the studio and love so much are built like mini bank vaults.
And yet the single item we all carry every day, and fumble onto pavement more than anything else we own, has never gotten the YETI treatment. That changes now with the brand’s first crack at phone protection, the new LoadOut Phone Case.
Cooler DNA, Pocket Proportions
The LoadOut name comes from YETI’s rugged cargo and storage line, and the durability brief is fully intact here. The case wraps your iPhone in what YETI calls TripleShot Protection, a three-layer construction with extra cushioning packed into the usual kill zones, and it’s rated to the military-grade MIL-STD-810H drop standard.
Raised rubber bezels handle the face-down landings on gravel, while a set of integrated tie-down slots lets you attach a tether or lanyard to the thing. If your phone regularly rides on a boat deck or a tailgate, that leash on your lifeline is cheap insurance.
The Magnet Stays in Play
Around back sits a rotational, MagSafe-compatible kickstand that adjusts to whatever angle and surface you’re working with, and wireless charging still works right through the case.
YETI also tuned the buttons to stay ultra-responsive even when your hands are frozen or covered in mud, and Camera Control survives intact, click-and-slide zoom included.
