Its spendy as cases go, about $70-$80, but it's damn near bulletproof. And it is even waterproof down to about 10', and included an underwater headphone jack. It has a bumpers to protect the buttons. It also has a membrane across the back the acts as a sound enhancer and makes the tiny little speakers sound surprisingly good. There is a one-year warranty.


The downsides: a lot of regular headphone jacks won't fit into the waterproof socket (which must be protected with a special plug when not in use); you need to use the adapter which comes with the case. Similarly, some standard Apple connector/charger cables don't fit through the little waterproof door.

The screen cover is also fairly heavy plastic. While it protects the glass, it can lessen response on the touch screen, but not seriously. It's worth a look. I've had some serious drops, and the case really is tough.
