One of these options is the new Armor Series case from Otterbox, designed for the iPhone 4/4S. This case has a thermoplastic shell, is precision fit to 300th of an inch for the 4 and 4S, and has a medical-grade stainless steel latch. The translation is, you won’t find hardly any other device stronger or safer for your iPhone, unless you want to go the extreme route a get a huge steel $650 case for it. Considering the case is too huge and heavy to be of any use though, I’d say the Armor Series is probably a better bet.

The bad news is that we don’t know how much this sturdy case costs just yet, though I would expect to pay a fairly hefty sum, considering just how solid the case seems to be. To learn more about the case you can always visit Otterbox’s website, which will likely soon have pricing information as well, since a timer exists on the page counting down about 25 days (as of this writing) until it is officially out. We’ve also included Otterbox’s promotional video below for those interested.

Motorola CHARM QWETRY Android smartphone

You know, Motorola really ought to give up on this whole all-caps thing when it comes to their product names. I know it’s meant to be distinctive, but it’s almost like they’re trying too hard. Case in point is the new Motorola CHARM, the latest Android device to join the Telus Mobility family.

After being bombarded with names like RAZR, ROKR, and MILESTONE, we are now treated to the Motorola CHARM. The square messaging-friendly device is rocking Google Android 2.1 and it has a full QWERTY keyboard below its 2.8-inch touchscreen display.

Keeping up with the all-caps dance, this smartphone also features the MOTOBLUR user interface and the Motorola BACKTRACK controller. The latter is like the Motorola BACKFLIP with the trackpad on the rear, allowing you to navigate without obscuring the display.

Rounding out the specs are its 3G speeds, 3MP camera, Adobe Flash-friendly web browser, and 1170mAh battery good for up to 13.9 days of standby. Rock out with the CHARM through Telus for $29.99 on a three-year contract or $249.99 outright.
