Yesterday OtterBox sent out a press release announcing the release of their new Impact Series skins for the iPhone 3G and the BlackBerry Bold. Now in typical fashion, I didn’t just want to post a news thing and call it good. HECK NO! Rather than do something simple like that… I thought I’d wait a day for my review unit to arrive – and so it has. So, click on through – I’ve got the full press release and a few more real live photos of this great new case! Full review coming soon… but not too soon.

PRESS RELEASE:

OtterBox for iPhone 3G Impact Series™: Not Your Average Skin

Fort Collins, COLO. – Engineered with recognized OtterBox protection in a sophisticated design, the new OtterBox 1943 Impact Series™ for iPhone™ 3G is not your average skin. The Impact Series merges durability, impact absorbing features and style in a single, slim-fit silicone layer.
”The OtterBox for iPhone Defender Series™ case line offers users the ultimate level of protection from drops, dust and scratches. However, some customers wanted something less bulky and more stylish,” said Curt Richardson, CEO of OtterBox. “With the Impact Series line, we reach those looking for less extreme, more slim-fit protection by incorporating the successful silicone design used in the Defender Series.”
The OtterBox for iPhone 3G Impact Series provides complete user interaction and access to the headphone jack, silence switch, sync/charge jack, speakers, microphone, sensors and camera. Home, sleep/wake and volume buttons remain accessible through silicone pass through buttons. Inner corners of the case dissipate impact away from the iPhone to protect from bump and shock.*
