Watch This iPod touch Drop 100,000 Feet Inside a G-Form Case [VIDEO]

Back in August G-Form dropped an iPhone 4S out of a helicopter at 1000 feet. This time around, the company has dropped a fifth gen iPod touch inside one of their latest iPhone 5 cases from 100,000 feet up in the stratosphere. The setup was lifted up via weather balloon, then dropped to the Earth. Check it out below:

Here are some stats from their drop test:

• Flight distance: landed 41 miles from launch
• Launch site: Near Area 51 in Nevada Desert
• Maximum height: Over 100,000 feet
• Temperature Endured: -60 degrees
• Retrieval: Used GPS tracking device and helicopter
• Time from Launch to Landing: 1hour and 45 minutes

G-Form will be showing their new line up of cases at CES:

“People are blown away that we could send a device guarded with solely our sleek iPhone case up to 100,000 feet and then let it free fall without worry,” said Thom Cafaro, VP of Innovations, G-Form. “With an ordinary case people might worry if they simply dropped it off of a table or while getting out of their car.  This test just proves how confident we are that the new XTREME line will protect against anything.”
