If you’re jetting off to parts unknown or going on a road trip, it’s a safe bet that you’ll be taking your smartphone with you. Whether you need some urban assistance in the foreign city or a little help in the wilderness your smartphone can provide, but you had better make sure it is well protected. The industry for smartphone accessories is positively thriving and you can find thousands of different cases. If you’re looking for the best of the bunch when it comes to safeguarding that smartphone then take a look at OtterBox.

The OtterBox brand caters for all of the top smartphones from the iPhone 5 to the Samsung Galaxy S3. Each case is custom fit for snug protection, they come in a variety of different colors, and they will not let you down. For maximum protection from bumps, drops and scrapes we recommend the top of the line Defender series.

This case consists of triple layer protection with an unbreakable polycarbonate inner layer, a shock-absorbing silicone outer layer, and a screen protector and holster attachment. There are silicone plugs to prevent any dust or debris from getting into your phone’s ports. The holster attaches easily to a belt or strap and it has a handy kickstand.

It will cost you around $50 for an OtterBox case, but that’s peace of mind that you can buy.
