To protect your iPhone 4 in extreme condition, you only need durable iPhone case, forget style and fashion. For most owners of the iPhone 4, this particular smartphone plays a significant role in their very lifestyle. It is only natural that one would want. If you are one of those persons who wants extreme heavy-duty protection for their iPhone, then perhaps you should check out the following Durable iPhone 4 cases that we have for you.

The iphone 4s case of highly steadfast manufacturers can offer safeguard from any sort of trouble resulting when the gadget accidently get in contact with water, sweat or dust particles. I am going to review two of Durable iPhone 4 / iPhone 4s Cases.

Ballistic HC Series Durable iPhone 4 / iPhone 4s Case ($29.99)

These durable iPhone 4/4s cases offers three layers of protection, but is much slimmer than the Survivor. Its silicone overlay does not protect the camera, and offers slightly enhanced padding on the corners. The flaps protecting the headphone jack, dock and mute/rotate switch do not form a full seal. Most users probably will just keep their iPhone in one case, but if you have various docks and battery extenders and often have to take the iPhone out. The main flaw is that it is nearly impossible to remove with a coin or other implement.

Griffin Survivor Durable iPhone 4 / iPhone 4s Case ($49.99)

Griffin has entered the market with its “k” case, and it’s an outstanding  durable iPhone 4 design. Griffin claims it’s tested and certified to meet or exceed U.S. Department of Defense Standard 810F and U.K. Department of Defense Standard 00-3. Looking up that standard, it’s pretty impressive, may be you’ll intend to go to war with it..ha ha..:)

The charm also one critical flaw of the Survivor involves the silicone overlay. On the corners it’s reinforced with close to a ¼ inch of protection. Drop it on the corner and it literally bounces off the floor, I did try it with my iPhone 4…true…:). It also not only covers the headphone jack, but has a plug to provide a seal making it unlikely water or other debris will get in that port. The dock cover also has a plug creating a seal, and the sides have a small series of holes to allow the sound to travel out. The home and volume buttons are completely covered, and the rotation/mute button uses a flap for protection. All of which is very good.

The critical flaw is the camera protector. It forms a great seal and protects the camera from scratches and debris. The problem is remembering to remove the flap when pulling out the camera and having to hold it while taking pictures. The only way to take pictures is to manually hold the flap open while taking shots.

If you do get one of these durable extreme cases, I recommend Cable Jive’s dockStubz to help your new iPhone case work with standard dock connectors, as many iPhone peripherals expect a flush connection with the 30-pin connector. CableJive also makes a dockXtender which works in situations in which the dockStubz doesn’t. Of all the durable iPhone cases, the Ballistic had the hardest time connecting items to its dock connector.

Keep in mind that some of these durable iPhone 4/4s cases can put some sizable bulk into your iPhone which are not intended for everyday use.

Lets chose your own durable iPhone case.
