New iPhone 4 cases for 2011

2011 looks to be a great year for iPhone 4 cases. I seldom(never) post news articles, but these cases are worth noting already. Without further rambling from me I let the companies present their new cases themselves.

OtterBox Reflex

122010_pr_reflexsamplesIn a Reflex Series case, a cushion of air surrounds either the iPhone 4 or BlackBerry Curve 8500/9300 series and flexes upon impact before returning to its original form. The case snaps apart in two halves to allow for quick and easy docking and use with device accessories and a self-adhering screen protector is included to defend from scratches.
This dual density OtterBox option offers optimum protection in a slim-fitting case, a revolutionary recipe for device fortification. The Reflex Series will be available for sale soon at www.otterbox.com.

    Tami, of all the iPhone 4 Cases mentioned above, it’s very clear the Gumdropcases Drop Series is what you’re looking for. If my budget will allow, that’s the one I am going to buy.
