The XtremeScan XS963 combines a military-grade iPhone case and a high-performance, long-range barcode scanner into a compact, rugged scanning solution. Designed for warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and field operations, the XS963 empowers mobile workers to capture barcodes from remarkable distances—minimizing repositioning, climbing, or interruption during scanning tasks.

With integrated wireless charging, the iPhone stays powered throughout the workday without needing to remove it from the case. The XS963 offers a sleek, compact alternative to pistol grip designs, giving professionals the flexibility of a rugged, handheld scanning device in a streamlined form factor.
