Adidas Sports’ New Grip Case is Perfect for the Jogger or Gym Rat

It’s no surprise that the ever popular adidas has branched out from its typical sports-focused product lines into an arena that’s a touch more technical.

The newly launched adidas Sports collection contains all the gear you need to keep your gadgets protected while you work out and play. With flexible armbands, smart waist straps, and anti-slip and anti-shock cases, this fresh line has veered far away from the gym shorts and landed squarely in the world of tech.

If strapping your phone to your upper arm or forearm isn’t for you, then adidas’ Grip Case is an excellent alternative. With a fitted anti-slip grib band that allowed you to not only do high-intensity interval training while keeping your phone secured in your hands, you can also pop out the magnetic stand on the back of the case, allowing you to watch workout apps or videos wherever you may be.

Another great feature is the ergonicmally designed back handle, perfect for wrapping around your hand. Combine that with the aforementioned high-class, rubberized grip and you can feel safe knowing your $1,000 smartphone isn’t going to randomly go flying out of your hand and onto device-shattering concrete (or into the head of an unsuspecting passerby).

However, if you do happen to drop your phone with the Grip Case on, don’t worry — it’s been specifically designed to absorb the shock of a fall, whether that height was achieved by rock climbing, trail running, or simply walking.

If you're a solo skier or snowboarder who's ever gazed at those powdery slopes and hoped to make some new friends, then this brand-new app is just the thing for you. Chairlift is a free social networking app for your lone wolf days to help you connect with other riders. Just fire up the app, and you're able to browse who else is going to the same ski resort. Filter by your vibe, ski or snowboard, and experience levels, and then create or join a "Chairlift" group.

Once in, the Chairlift chat lights up with any coordinating details like meetup spots or start times, and you're even able to share photos to help hype up the rest of your crew. Users can also create profiles: write bios, indicate your skill level, add pictures and social links, so you can get to know your companions before you go. Chairlift is also beta testing an Après feature so that you can continue the post-slope vibes. Create or join an Après meetup for a casual hangout at a local bar or restaurant.
