Otterbox for iPhone Armor Series Case Review

July 3, 2008 by Douglas

If you’re looking for extreme protection for your iPhone then look to the Otterbox for iPhone Armor Series. This case is truly water proof up to a depth of 3 feet. Not only is it waterproof but it’s dustproof, dirtproof, sandproof and dropproof. Here I’m testing the black version but there is also a yellow and black version similar to the Otterbox Defender Series. If you’re going for looks, this case isn’t for you. It is bulky, but for the type of environment this would be used in, looks probably don’t matter much. The following video includes an underwater test.

I was skeptical off the looks of the original Otterbox case, but I got one off eBay ($35.00) and it’s the best one I’ve used/seen yet.

Doug, the reason you couldn’t get the up/down volume buttons to work is because the phone has to be unlocked for them to work..

i just recieved my armor series today and checked it out. nice comfortable in my pockets and well,… it all weather. the only downside,…i have to use my headset/headphones to listin to music and use the phone. but other than that it should “weather” the weather. i’d recommend it if ur like me, a little clumsey with anyphone.
