Remember the Sony Walkman Sport series of the late 80′s? You know, the ones that could handle some water, dust, and even a long drop from your belt? Well, that same kind of protection is here for your iPhone plus that nod to the Sony yellow of The Wedding Singer years from OtterBox.
Released this week, OtterBox has premiered its first iPhone case that it calls “skin on steroids”. The Defender Series, in either yellow or black, keeps your iPhone protected from the elements such as water, dust, and drop and shock. With a unique scratch-resistant polycarbonate membrane to protect the face of the iPhone, all touch functions are still available to the user without the need to remove the phone from the semi-rugged case. Three Donaldson Acoustic Vents keep the front speaker, bottom speaker and microphone protected from dust and moisture without intruding on the sound.
“Traditionally our OtterBox for iPod line has been completely rugged, but when the iPhone was introduced we wanted to offer an option that paralleled the look of the device while still providing protection from drops, dust and scratches,” said Curt Richardson, CEO of Otter Products, LLC.
If your looking for those really insane rugged cases OtterBox is known for, don’t worry, those will be ready just in time for the holidays.
“This semi-rugged design is a new adventure for us and now we can meet the needs of consumers who want the most rugged protection as well as those who just need a safeguard from day-to-day mishaps,” explains Richardson.
OtterBox starts shipping the cases Friday at $49.95 each. You can order direct from OtterBox now.
