If you want to throw your iPhone4 off a roof, this case is just what you need!

Need to attract attention? Want to start a conversation quickly? How about throwing your iPhone4 against a wall? Well, according to the folks at Ballistic, you can do exactly that! The Ballistic HC series iPhone case is the only one to pass MIL-STD 810G military specifications. They also have HC cases for the Blackberry, and HTC devices. I was hoping to get one for the iPod touch, but it turns out they don’t make one. This rugged case is engineered with shock absorption and an interchangeable outer gel skin layer, front facing inward holster and built-in screen protector. But wait, there’s more! It also incorporates connector seals, water resistant meshes and tough lenses to keep moisture, dust and dirt from entering the connector, speaker and microphone ports. To ensure that Mil Specs (Military Specifications- MIL-STD 810G) were met tests for shock (drop test), vibration, extreme temperatures, humidity, and dust were performed during certification. The company sent me some product samples so I could examine the construction for myself. Not only do they look and feel ruggedly built; if you watch the video at the link below you can see one really get a heavy duty beating.

Funny thing though. As I was unpacking the Ballastic cases a friend asked what they were. I said they were indestructible smart phone cases. He replied: “Then were did they pack them in huge cardboard box with tons of shipping peanuts??” My guess is the shipping department packs everything that way. The HC cases are $49.99.

Wow, these are some great looking smart phone cases. I didn't know that they made military grade cases for the general public. I guess it's nice to know that if I wanted to throw my phone off of the roof of a building that it'd survive.
