"Today's die-hard and recreational cycling enthusiasts can leverage their smartphone on any excursion," said Miranda Su, executive president of The Joy Factory and consumer electronics veteran. "The scratch and weather-resistant case works simultaneously with the mount which allows users to access the GPS, phone and music features while navigating tough mountain bike trails or riding to work through city streets."
The StormCruiser features an improved mounting technology that offers hassle-free installation and removal. The smartphone fits snugly into a clamshell case that fastens tightly with two clasps on either side and conveniently releases with the touch of a button. The StormCruiser provides full access to the smartphone's buttons and full usage of the touch screen. In addition, the case offers water-resistant sealable earphone and charging ports to offer greater protection against the elements while cycling. When needed, the sealable ports easily open to provide access for charging or earphone use.

Users have greater options to position the case horizontally or vertically on the frame of a bicycle for hands-free access to number of options such as GPS maps, MP3 players or speakerphone. When not in use, the aXtion Go case is designed to easily detach from the mount and serve as a stand-alone case, leaving the iPhone 5 protected.
