What is an Otterbox?

This is a very good question.

A few years ago, a friend impressed me with a case that he acquired for his iPhone. Knowing that I had an iPhone also he gave me a quick demo. He said to me “Cecil watch this”. He took his phone out of his pocket and threw it on the floor and it bounced twice and I was feeling a bit sorry for him because an iPhone should never be used as a small ball. Well he picked it up and there was no damage to my surprise. After examining the phone my next question was of course was, “where did you get the case?” He told me that he got it from OtterBox. It did not take me too long to order my OtterBox Defender Case.

Well it has been about 2 years since I have had the case and it has worked like a gem and in those 2 years there were 2 situations that come to mind.

On the Defender Case the is a piece of rubber that covers the headphone jack, well mine broke off and I called OtterBox and without hesitation I was sent another – by the way the person had the best attitude that I remember in recent history.
Last week I happen to get out of my Toyota 4Runner and somehow got my FM transmitter got caught on my seatbelt and my iPhone fell out of the SUV and fell into slush for a previous days snowfall. Water and physical damage is the iPhones kryptonite, but this case protected the phone 100%.

Answer: An OtterBox is the best possible case to protect an iPhone.
