Name:
Ballistic iPhone 4 Hard Core (HC) Case
What it is:
A shock-absorbing case and holster for iPhone 4. Ballistic has a case for the AT&T version of the iPhone 4 and another for the Verizon Wireless iPhone 4.
How it works:
The case comes in five parts: (1) A rigid layer clasps on the back of your phone; (2) a clear sheet protects the phone’s touch screen; (3) a thin, rigid layer holds the clear sheet in place and snaps into Layer 1; (4) that iPhone sandwich snuggles into a cushy layer of polymer; and if you want, (5) a stiff holster cradles everything and keeps it close to you.
The good:
Even the rigid pieces can flex a little, so if you drop your phone, the shock of impact is absorbed by the rigid, cushy goodness of the Ballistic Hard Core case. The multiple layers of protection manage to stay out of the way when you’re connecting earphones and docking cables.
The bad:
The clear sheet protecting the touch screen is clear in name only; it bears a slight haze that will make your phone’s high-definition display seem less high-def. Cost: $30
