Otterbox Defender Case Review

Otterbox Defender iPod Touch 1G

 

First Thoughts:

I had never heard of Otterbox before coming across this case and the all around look to it made me feel like it was a win in-terms of a buy. The first feature that caught my eye on first glance was the all around design of it; with the 3 protective layers, and accessible button attributes.

Design:

The Otterbox Defender comes with 3 main layers of protection each serving a unique purpose to both craddle and protect the iPod Touch. The first layer is the rough silicon covering which adds a unique look above the second layer which is the hard plastic shell. Last but not least the last layer of protection is the base piece (front and back) which covers the iPod itself.

Within the hard plastic shell adds openings for all ports for your device including headphone jack input, sync and charge cable opening, and a small opening for your home button. When covered with the silicon covering lies additional detachable coverings for the sync port, and the headphone jack to stop from dust and other misleading items to get inside.

Overall the design of this case is carefully thought out and was made to protect your device especially if you are an outdoorsmen and find yourself taking your iPod Touch everywhere. Using a hard shell layer with a silicone skin offers great protection while providing for even greater textile feel and accessible options within your device.

Final Thoughts:

With this case  brings protection, style and comfort all the essentials needed for a great product to both enhance and protect your iPod Touch. I definitely feel like OtterBox succeeded in creating a case that can offer maximum protection without sacrificing usability.

The only downer to this case is the price. Marked up at almost $40 dollars this case is not the most affordable for case addicts these days. But compared with other cases priced near the Defender, the Defender offers an infinite amount more protection. Though it adds amounts of thickness with this case to your device that should be an exception seeing as it is offering an enormous amount of protection.

However, with all things considered, the Otterbox Defender for iPod Touch is great implementation of protection without any doubt. All of the iPhone’s features are present with an unparalleled level of protection and implementation of usage ability to the max. I would consider this a buy for anyone who’s lifestyle is rugged, usually hunting outside, planning a camping trip or just cannot stand your device getting scratched up any longer.
