Proud owners of the awesome Bold 9700 offering from RIM now have some new options when it comes to ruggedizing the device. The good folks at OtterBox have unveiled a new Impact and Commuter Series case for the 9700, and as per usual, the cases offer unparalleled protection for your addiction. Drop, kick, throw, smash or sit on your 9700, and these new cases should provide the protection needed to protect your lifeblood.
The Impact Series case for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is the slimmer solution for those that need just a touch of ruggedized-ness (ok, that’s not a word… I know). Your Bold fits nicely into a single slim-fit silicone layer… Plus, there’s a self-adhering screen protector to protect from scratches, dust, and anything else that may hamper your display. You can pick up the Impact Series case for $19.95 at OtterBox.
The Commuter Series case for the 9700 is a little more, shall we say, heavy duty. If you’re on the road a lot, toss your Berry on the passenger seat, or just give your Berry a hard time all-around, this one is worth a look. It combines a hard outer shell, with a soft silicone skin (exposed at the corners) to provide a heightened level of protection. There’s a bit more bulk to this one for sure, but if you’ve gone through multiple BlackBerry devices due to dropping or general wear-and-tear, the Commuter Series case could be the answer. You can pick up the Commuter Series case for $34.95 at OtterBox.
The OtterBox line isn’t for everyone… But if you don’t mind a touch of bulk for some awesome device protection… Their products are worth every penny!
