There it is; your brand new iPhone in all its glory. Pristine in condition and waiting to be showed off. But one day in the not too distant future, the inevitable will happen; you’ll be rushing, trying to juggle too many things at once and end up with your phone, laying face down on the floor. Sound familiar?

To prevent catastrophic disasters like this, OtterBox have launched iPhone 3G Protection in the semi-rugged, drop and scratchproof Defender Series design.

Following customer feedback and suggestions regarding the first generation iPhone Defender Series case, OtterBox have improved the design of the iPhone 3G case.

“Our waiting list for iPhone 3G cases has been building for months,” said Curt Richardson, CEO, Otter Products LLC. “OtterBox engineers have worked hard to introduce slim and durable protection for Apple’s hottest new device. Good design takes time and we wanted to guarantee our customers quality.”

Accommodating iPhone 3G 8GB and 16GB, the iPhone 3G Defender Series offers stylish and sophisticated protection for your iPhone. The case comprises of three slim-fit layers of protection:

• A thin, clear membrane covers your screen to help prevent scratches.
• A strong, hard polycarbonate shell to surround the phone.
• And an outer layer of silicone skin to absorb bumps and shocks.

The case allows access to all important features such as the silence switch, sync/charge, home, sleep/wake, volume, camera and headphone jack. Acoustical vents protect the microphone and speakers from dust and dirt to allow clear sound transmission.

Included with the case, is a holster-style belt clip which also converts to a display stand.

Available in black, pink, white and yellow, the iPhone 3G Defender Series case costs $49.95 at OtterBox.com, which works out at about £27 and international shipping is available to the UK via USP Worldwide Expedited or Express.
