Case-Mate's TANK is pretty much the toughest iPhone case out there

Case-Mate, which we usually know for their fancy mobile phone cases, released a new tough protective solution called TANK, for consumers who have a “rough and rugged lifestyle” (or those who simply want extra protection against extreme conditions).

The new case is one of very few such products that pass U.S. Military Specifications for sand/dust, shock/drop, wind/rain and vibration. What’s more, the company hired Detroit Testing Laboratory to show the world their case is 2.5 tougher than the leading brand’s product (Otterbox?).

Need more information about the TANK? Here’s a snippet from the press release:

Designed using the principal theory that guided motorcycle helmet engineering, Case-Mate constructed TANK with a hard, impact resistant exterior and a shock absorbing interior. The textured hard shell covers the dual layer case and, like a motorcycle helmet, disperses the initial impact over a wide surface area. The interior layer absorbs the weakened impact; further safeguarding the phone against bumps and shocks. The interior is made of a soft silicone and features plugs over the phone’s ports to keep the inside free of dust and dirt. Color matching holsters complete the case.

Finally, the price. TANK is available for $60 in green/orange, black/black, black/pink and white/pink.

    The Test is pretty good but the iPhone 4 Protective Case can survive a pretty high fall, and drops are more common than smashes
