"The Catalyst Impact Protection Case for the iPhone X is a game changer for us," said Catalyst CEO June Lai. "Catalyst has a long history of making the industry leading waterproof, drop proof cases.  This is the first in a new line of products that diversifies our offering and presents a lower cost, sleek case for those who may not need a water-tight solution but still require the impact protection. We have a number of other products in development and are excited to unveil them to customers, starting today with the Impact Protection Case."

In addition, Catalyst also today introduces a waterproof, drop proof case for the iPhone X. The case is IP-68 to 33 feet (10 meters) and still the most protective, waterproof every day case in the world. The new Catalyst waterproof case is now available for pre-order and expected to ship in January.

As part of the announcement, Apple also introduced the second generation AirPods.  Catalyst offers the only IP-67 waterproof, drop-proof case for Apple AirPods which is compatible with the 1^st and 2^nd generation accessories.

"We are always working to diversify our product line and meet a variety of lifestyle needs," said Co-Founder and Chief Designer Josh Wright. "Catalyst products are made to fit our customer's day to day adventure and enable them to use their devices without worry.  Over the last year we've added bold colors, styles and varied levels of protection in our product offerings. Our customers have grown to expect the best quality from Catalyst and that's exactly what we're delivering with every new case as we extend our range of products."

Apple is also releasing the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus. Catalyst will be releasing new waterproof cases for these to ship in December.
