Gadget lovers know OtterBox for its name-giving OtterBoxen, which are extremely sturdy, waterproof boxen that can be used to transport and protect small electronic devices. However, the company has recently begun to offer cases for devices…can their Defender stack up?
OtterBox cases ship in special yellow blisters that have a strange lab or construction-site touch:
A small “manual” is included with each case:
Getting the iPod Touch into the case is a funny procedure – first, the PVC cover is removed from the “skeleton”. The skeleton is then torn apart, the iPod touch is inserted. Afterwards, the process is “undone” – which leaves you with the iPod inside the case:
The iPod remains perfectly functional while in the case – the screen can be controlled through the thin PVC layer with ease. A cutout makes hitting the home button fun:
The power button can be pressed, too:
Ports are covered by flip lids that must be pulled “off” before something can be plugged in – the images below demonstrate what I mean:
In the end, the OtterBox Defender makes an excellent and very sturdy case that will definitely protect your iPod touch from drops and scratches. If the case would also be waterproof, it would be perfect. As it is now, it nevertheless is great – the price of just 30$ makes this an absolute steal and must-have if you can live with the slightly bigger size.
