Otterbox Has it Covered…Literally

OtterBox makes covers for the iPhone, the iPod Touch, the BlackBerry Storm, and the BlackBerry Curve 8350i.

These cases in particular as Mike McDonald notes, are “heads above most of the crap you’re gonna go grab at Wal-Mart and slap on your phone.”

Mike got a up-close look at the cases a while back at the Consumer Electronics Show. You can see them for yourself:

The OtterBox for iPhone 3G Defender Series consists of 3 layers:

1. A thin, clear membrane that covers your Touch Screen to help prevent scratches and dings.

2. A hard, strong Polycarbonate skeleton that surrounds your device.

3. A Silicone skin that absorbs bump and shock wrapped around it.

It also Includes a ClipStand holster. It should be noted that it will not fit the 1st Generation iPhone.

Otterbox for iPod Touch 2nd Generation Impact Series

The OtterBox for iPod touch 2nd Generation Impact Series has a thin, skin-like design that protects against bump and shock. It’s actually designed to dissipate impact AWAY from your device.

It provides open access to the Touch Screen, headphone jack and sync/charge terminal. It also has an ergonomic design.

Otterbox for BlackBerry Storm Defender Series

The OtterBox for BlackBerry Storm Defender Series case was designed to provide full access to all buttons, ports and functions of your smartphone. This includes the use of your camera, charging your phone, making calls, etc.

But like the others, it is also designed for “unparalleled” protection against harmful drops, bumps, shocks, scratches, dings and dust. It comes with a ratcheting belt clip as well.

Otterbox for BlackBerry Curve 8350i (with Push to Talk) Defender Series

The OtterBox for BlackBerry Curve 8350i (with Push to Talk) Defender Series is a “fully interactive” case, which enables complete usability of the trackball, keyboard, camera and Push to Talk features.

Sound is transmitted through this case via acoustical vents. The entire device is covered by the case, but each port is completely accessible

All surfaces of the BlackBerry are fully covered, yet all ports are accessible Silicone plugs. It ONLY works with this version of the BlackBerry Curve.

Each of these models is priced at around $50, except the iPod Touch model, which is about $20. Either way, they’re probably cheaper than replacing your device when you break it. And this is coming from a guy who broke like 3 phones in a year.
