Don’t get me wrong, pink isn’t exactly my thing, but don’t let that stop you from checking out these 2 cases from OtterBox. By purchasing an OtterBox for iPhone or iPod nano Defender™ Series Strength case, 10% of the purchase price will be donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade to support access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer, with a focus on the medically underserved.

Without a doubt a very good cause, and one I can absolutely suggest supporting.

There are 2 types of Blackberry user; one that never goes anywhere without their device, and one that has a husband/wife that tells them to leave it at home or face dire consequences.

If you are in group one, then you’ll often be found in fun places, with your Blackberry holstered on your side. If that is the case, then you’ll probably have already killed several of them when you got sand, water or beer stuck inside it.

So, today I’m going to get you up close and personal with the latest Blackberry case from my friends at Otterbox; the Blackberry 8800 series Defender case.

The Defender case turns your fragile and vulnerable Blackberry into a drop and drip resistant email machine without interfering with any of the features, buttons or ports.

The case itself consists of 5 parts: a thin plastic molded membrane for the device, a 2 part hard plastic shell, a silicone rubber skin and a holster with belt clip.

The plastic membrane wraps around the front and back of the Blackberry and has an opening for the trackball. The earpiece and speaker are still perfectly audible thanks to thin pieces of filter material that keep dust and dirt out, without dampening the volume of the phone.

Summer is finally getting closer, and many of the gadgets that keep us entertained during the boring weekday trips will now be coming to more fun locations to keep us entertained instead of keeping us awake.

The thing about more fun locations is that they are often not the friendliest to our gadgets. During the week, the worst abuse may be getting thrown into the x-ray bin at the TSA line, but when you are on vacation your poor gadgets get wet, covered in sand, food or worse.

My iPod classic (160Gb) cost $399, and I’m overly protective of it. Unlike many of my gadgets, I’m always fully aware that iPods are not the most rigid of gadgets and I just know that the hard disk is one drop away from death.

So, today I’m going to show off a product that promises to protect your cherished iPod from pretty much anything you could possibly throw (or drop) at it. The Otterbox iPod classic Armor™ series case is pretty much the toughest case you can get for your iPod. It is waterproof to 3 feet and the hard plastic body will protect it from the worst of accidents.

But the best part of this case is that it does all this while still offering headphone access as well as full access to the scroll wheel!
