\"\"<\/a>Father\u2019s Day is tough. Gift ideas are not easy to come by \u2026 and let\u2019s face it, dad isn\u2019t much help. So this year we\u2019ve decided to go all out for dad\u2019s big day. In this series leading up to June 16, we\u2019ll give great gift ideas for all types of dads.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re dad is anything like mine, he\u2019s always been pretty protective of his kids. For example, he\u2019s fended off serious cases of pasty skin by not letting you play video games for eight hours on a Saturday afternoon. He\u2019s also bravely kept all of your threatening high school crushes at bay with weird jokes and timely underwear-clad appearances.<\/p>\n

OK, dad occasionally protects us from bad stuff, too. So this Father\u2019s Day, it\u2019s your turn to return the favor and be protective of your dad \u2026 well, his iPhone anyway.<\/p>\n

Luckily, it\u2019s easy to show dad your inherited protective nature with the NuGuard KX<\/a> case for the iPhone 5 and 4\/4S. That\u2019s because the NuGuard KX is the only case on the market that\u2019s as rugged and tough as your dad on the outside while also remaining as soft and protective as he is on the inside.<\/p>\n

In fact, the KX is so protective, he could drop it from ridiculous heights<\/a>, and it would still protect his phone and all of his beloved photos and apps. The military-impact test grade KX can provide this level of protection because of its state-of-the-art X-Orbing gel technology that absorbs and evenly distributes kinetic energy. And the KX only measures about 1\/2″ thick (including the phone) so it can still easily fit in his pocket.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The NuGuard KX comes in eight color combinations that will suit any father\u2019s style. Is your dad the outdoors type? Our Nubar Forest KX<\/a> is a match for any adventure. Is he the no frills type? You can\u2019t go wrong with the sleek Darkness KX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But whichever color suits your dad, the KX is sure to provide the kind of wonderful protection that he\u2019s always provided you.<\/p>\n

Bonus ideas for the Protective Dad:<\/strong> Pad Protector<\/a>, GripStand<\/a><\/p>\n
