The housing is made from a solid block of anticorodal aluminum, processed by numerically controlled milling cutters, and subsequently anodized for maximum resistance over time against wear and saltiness.

Robustness and ease of use have been put at the center of the design process.

The watertight seal is guaranteed by a double O-ring on the back and by 8 stainless steel lever latches.

Internally, double adjustable caliper support has been designed, which allows you to fix your tablet firmly and quickly. On the right side, there is a 6Ah power bank that allows additional autonomy to your tablet.

The tablet is controlled by the electronics inside the case: once the Bluetooth is switched on, the connection is automatically activated by pressing the power button. The buttons equipped with optical sensors enabled us to eliminate physical keys.

The electronic board is equipped with an internal battery that provides autonomy of about 14 hours and that is recharged via a USB-C connector in about 30 minutes.
