iPhone 3G OtterBox Giveaway – Share Your Startup Story

Monday, October 6th, 2008

iPhone 3G CaseOur friends at OtterBox have once again granted us the favor of sending along some of their fantastic phone cases to check out and give away to our listeners/readers.  This time around, it’s the brand new, iPhone® 3G Defender™ Series case.  This durable case is designed to protect your touch screen as well as the rest of your iPhone® 3 from scratching, bumping and unexpected (we hope) drops.  According to the OtterBox website:

The OtterBox for iPhone® 3G Defender™ Series follows in the Defender Series tradition by offering stylish and sophisticated protection. First, a thin, clear membrane covers your Touch Screen to help prevent scratches and dings. Second is a hard, strong Polycarbonate skeleton that surrounds your device.

At Startup Story, we’re longtime fans of OtterBox products.  We first discovered their waterproof cases back when we began SCUBA diving, and I use one of their cases on my Blackberry.  Like all of the other OtterBox products we’ve had our hands on, these iPhone cases are durable, well made and look cool.  They even have silicone plugs that let you access the ports in your phone so you can sync or charge it in the case.  The ones we’ve got are black, but they even come in pink for breast cancer awareness.

We love the iPhone® 3G Defender™ Series case, and we’d like to share it with 3 of our lucky visitors.  If you’d like to keep your iPhone safe with an OtterBox case, leave a comment below sharing your startup story.  Don’t have a startup story yet?  Share what’s holding you back from going it on your own.  Three lucky winners will be chosen at random on  Monday, October 13th, and if we like your story, who knows, we might even interview you!
