MJ Approved: The Ballistic Hard Core Series iPhone Case
This polymer-, plastic-, and silicone-reinforced protector adds about half an inch to the width and depth to Apple’s svelte device, but pledges to save your most-used gadget from the terror of a cracked screen, water damage, or mashed volume buttons. The case’s thick, watertight edges are designed to keep out moisture and kill shock, while a thin plastic protector allows touch-function while shielding the screen from scratches. A backside grip prevents it from sliding off countertops.
LOVE IT: Turns your iPhone into an all-out gladiator. Over a four month run, the Hard Core Series kept mine in perfect condition, even through a Miller Lite plunge, stairwell drop, and a perilous fall from a handlebar mount onto a concrete path.
LEAVE IT: The pocket-stretching bulk—one friend likened the Hard Core Series to a first-generation Game Boy. But use one and you’ll rest assured that it’ll be a while before you have to stand in line at the Apple Store Genius Bar, begging for a replacement.
