Otterbox Defender Series for iPhone 4:

The Otterbox Defender for the iPhone 4 isn't just a mini version of the
iPad version, it's packed with the best protection on the planet for
your iPhone 4. The case brings three-layers of protection. An inner
plastic cover which protects dings, drops and the other usuals, and a
silicon sleeve to go over it. On top of that you have a tough plastic
membrane to keep everything in place as well as a belt clip.

All ports are covered so you are good to go on all ends. The case comes
with a thickish plastic sheet that goes over the screen. This acts as a
screen protector but is actually fused to the case so you don't need to
worry about the putting on a screen protector process, and that's
awesome.



The case makes your device extremely durable and it's perfect for those
who work the tough jobs where you never know what can happen to your
phone. The case is of average price with higher end iPhone 4 cases and
it's worth every penny.

The protection it offers is unmatched, and there's no other case like
it on the market. We highly recomend it as it keeps away scratches,
bumps, dings and those other nightmares. With the Defender on, you
don't need to worry about your iPhone 4's well being ever again.

The case sells for a suggested price of $49.95 and you can get one here.

Continue after the break for the Defender and Commuter iPad case
reviews:



Otterbox Defender Series for iPad:

The Defender's a tank and it surely lives up to its name. It comes
packed with three very durable layers that each work to offer the best
iPad protection possible. The first layer is a heavy-duty plastic
casing which acts to stop detrimental impact to the device. On top of
that is a very durable silicon sleeve that covers all the ports in ways
no other case can. There's even a pin-like piece which goes into the
headphone jack to avoid unneeded water damage.



On top of those two layers is a think plastic membrane which has a
built-in stand. This stand is awesome to use. You can type and watch
things like movies in a much easier and ergonomically-good fashion. We
highly recommended Otterbox's Defender as it is perfect for what it's
meant to do. The case is handsdown the most durable and most protective
iPad case on the market. This is a case meant for places like
construction sites but it will also work for those who like protecting
their gadgetry like nobody's business.



The case retails for a suggested price of 89.95 and you can get one
here.

Otterbox Commuter Series for iPad:



Otterbox's Commuter series case just might be the most protective iPad
case meant specifically for consumers. Like it's tougher cousin, the
Defender, this case offers multiple layers of protection bringing a
soft but heavy duty silicon sleeve and tough plastic membrane to the
table.



The silicon sleeve covers up all ports to make sure the volume rocker,
sleep/on/off button, and other buttons can sustain impact. The outer
plastic membrane keeps the silicon in place so it always does it job.

This case is perfect for anyone who wants top-notch protection but is
not in need of something like the Defender. It's obvious that the
Commuter comes from the Defender's family as it's high-quality, and can
sustain major damage.



We recommend the case as it offers a great deal of protection and
portability for consumers and does so at a decent suggested retail
price of 64.95. You can get one here.
