Otterbox has announced their new Defender Series of semi-rugged cases for the iPhone. These are intended to be "Slim, yet rugged, stylish, yet protective".
“Traditionally our OtterBox for iPod line has been completely rugged, but when the iPhone was introduced we wanted to offer an option that paralleled the look of the device while still providing protection from drops, dust and scratches.” – Curt Richardson, CEO of Otter Products, LLC.

- Case has external silicone jacket that enables excellent grip and drop protection.
