New Kickstarter project aims to make Apple Watch more rugged

Lunatik Epik is a new Kickstarter project that hopes to create a rugged case and strap for the Apple Watch. With pledges, starting at US $100.00 Epik's rugged case encloses and protects the Apple Watch's more sensitive and delicate areas.

The premium, anti-dust and dirt coated silicone sport strap or aluminum link bracelet with silicone sub-links and butterfly clasp, are designed for long term comfort and durability, even through your toughest workouts. Epik's highly tactile Active-Control Crown couples seamlessly with Apple's Digital Crown to enhance grip, making interaction with your apps more efficient in highly active moments.
