Rated 5 out of 5

Durable and functional

I love the everyday case, and the gnar is a good upgrade for those who are more active! The charging port cover helps keep debris out of the port and there's a bit more sealing around the edges to keep moisture out. Also I like the sleeker hand feel to this version!

Simply the best!

Been using everyday cases the last three generations of iPhone. Great cases, but I have always feared getting hit by a car with my bicycle leaving my iPhone vulnerable in the fall. With the Gnar I get the same comfort(and a bit more with the curved edges giving more grip). And a case that will make my iPhone survive when I am splashes on the road or in the ditch. Have been a professional tester of cases, and with more than 500 cases tested since 2014 I can say that this is top of the line. #iphonegamesnetwork(defunct) #touchgen(defunct)

Happy

I bought this case to replace the Pelican case I had. I like the way this one feels a lot more. Smooth edges and good grip. A little concerned about the lack of edge protection, but happy overall.

My new favorite phone case!!!

So for the longest time, I only used the Everyday Case from PD for all my phones. They were the standard for me. Didn't know PD could actually make an even better case. I know this was designed for motorcyclists, but I love the texture and grip on this. Super secure in hand without crazy bulk and looking like a tactical case. Love it!! There's a reason I've been a PD fan since they first launched on KS.

All the protection, ruggedness, and connect-ability that you could ever want from a phone case, yet with a clean and refined aesthetic-GNAR Case was designed for those individuals who are 'down to clown' but don't want to look like one. Ideal for motorcycling, mountain biking, and the security-loving 'belt-and-suspenders' types.

Compared to the Everyday Case, GNAR Case has a bit of extra padding-3.2mm thick (vs. 2.4mm), 4.4mm TPU bumper (vs. 3.4mm), raised camera bezel-yet retains a flat, slim profile that feels svelte in your hand and your pocket. A lightweight recycled polycarbonate body features a smooth scratch-and-stain-resistant finish that's easy to clean. A diamond-knurled edge texture and extra-wide machined/anodized aluminum buttons make GNAR Case easy to handle, even with gloves on. A soft Clarino microfiber internal liner keeps your phone pristine, and a removeable USB-C port plug prevents dirt and water ingress in outdoor environments. And of course, it contains our brilliant magnetic/mechanical SlimLink locking system for instant connection to all Peak Design Mobile mounts, chargers, and accessories. We designed GNAR Case for ultra reliable lightning-fast wireless charging, which can be an issue with some thicker 3rd party cases. It even works with Apple MagSafe chargers and accessories, however compatibility with all 3rd party chargers is not guaranteed.

The rugged phone case market is full of needlessly chonky and aggro-styled specimens, each screaming to the world how tough they are. Peak Design hears those desperate screams, and GNAR Case is our answer. What does the GNAR acronym stand for? Go Nuts And Ride? Get Naked And Roll? We hope to find out ourselves, someday.

Note: For non-supported phone models, try the PD x Nomad Case, Everyday Case, or Universal Adapter.

Burly, not bulky.
Compared to the Everyday Case, GNAR Case has a bit of extra padding-3.2mm thick (vs. 2.4mm), 4.4mm TPU bumper (vs. 3.4mm), raised camera bezel-yet retains a flat, slim profile that feels svelte in your hand and your pocket.

Engineered to handle your worst.
Extra rugged 4.5M (15ft) drop protection (vs. 2M for the Everyday Case). Polycarbonate construction with a scratch-and-stain resistant external finish that's easy to clean. Full-surround shock-absorbing TPU bumper with raised screen and camera bezels. Soft Clarino microfiber liner to keep your phone extra safe and extra cushioned. Removable USB-C plug prevents water/dirt ingress.

Loves gloves.
Extra-wide machined & anodized aluminum power and volume buttons, plus a diamond-knurled edge texture gives you superior grip and usability when wearing riding gloves.

Reliable fast wireless charging.
Traditional rugged phone cases are notorious for creating wireless charging problems due to a thick case wall that distances the phone's charging coil from the charger. GNAR Case was specifically designed to prevent this problem through minimizing rear wall thickness and incorporating precision-tuned MagSafe compatible magnets.

Instantly mount it anywhere.
Like all Peak Design cases, GNAR Case incorporates our SlimLink mounting technology and is compatible with Peak Design motorcycle, bike, car, household, and photography mounting and charging accessories. SlimLink is faster, lower-profile, and more intuitive than any other mounting system out there.
