With NËXT, LifeProof’s custom iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus case, there’s no chance dirt, snow, or long, hard drops will damage your phone. The technology is hyper-attuned to bullet-proofing every square inch. This case is also sleeker than previous iterations. There’s a screenless front, transparent back, and just a pop of color along the rim of the case. ($79.99, lifeproof.com)

If you spend more time tugging your armband back in place during runs, than, you know, running, store your essentials in the FlipBelt Zipper. Perfect for extra large phones (hello, iPhone 8 Plus), the belt has a zippered pocket for your smartphone, as well as room to stash keys, identification, energy chews, and cash, all via three easy-to-reach access points. The stretchy lycra/micropoly blend wicks sweat and will keep its shape over time. ($34.99, flipbelt.com)

SoundSport Free wireless headphones by Bose
Apple went away with wires when it launched the iPhone 7, and it’s still riding the wireless train. Luckily, you can get crisp, uninterrupted tunes from a completely wireless earbud in Bose’s SoundSport Free. The fitness-friendly option is reliable and practically indestructible: The internal antenna is positioned to garner the strongest Bluetooth signal for consistent, smooth sound whether you’re sprinting ‘round a track, heaving some heavy metal, or hustling through a HIIT workout with your phone a few feet away. The buds also have special grippy tips that hug the inside of your ear, and waterproof meshing to keep rain and sweat from obliterating your favorite new workout pal. ($249.95, bose.com)
