Now that we know how fragile the iPhone 4 really is. Giving it the white glove treatment the moment you pull it out of that shipping box and every moment thereafter is no way to enjoy it. Since it will have to be nerfed almost immediately, ballistic is planning to an iPhone 4 case, the Ballistic HC Case that will provide your device with four layers of protection.

For $49 you get the case that has an inner rubber layer for protecting the phone’s finish and drop/shock. A rigid structural frame, an outer shock absorption rubber layer, and finally a removable outer silicone rubber shock-absorbing layer with connect plugs and seals. We hope they begin shipping sooner rather then later, although the company says “coming soon” we expect them out next month. Every day that passes is another day of sweat, tears and fear.
