Yes you read that right. One lucky reader will win an iPhone 5!!!! This contest comes to you courtesy of my friends at Otterbox. Otterbox is well known for making the most protective cases out there for mobile phones and tablets. I have tested a couple and they definitely get the job done.
They offer a wide range of cases for devices including the iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, Motorola Droid series, Kindle Fire, and much more. I tried out the Defender & Commuter cases for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 5. And I owned an Otterbox case for my iPhone 4. If you are looking for maximum protection this is it!!
This past Saturday my BF upgraded himself to an iPhone 5 and I gave him a choice of the Commuter or Defender case for his new iPhone. He ended up choosing the Commuter case for it’s sleekness. But first we tried out the Defender case. Putting it on the phone is a process that takes a couple of steps. The case is a 3 part case…
First you put on the back pretty much like you would when assembling other two part cases.
The front then snaps on to cover the front and back of the case. Then they are wrapped in a nice protective outer layer which protects the phone and all ports and has a built in screen protector.
While the phone may be a bit bulky, it is very well protected, and you won’t have to worry if you drop it. The iPhone 5 Defender case can be purchased for $49.95.
Now… what you have been waiting for!!!
The iPhone 5 Giveaway
One of my readers will win a 16gb iPhone 5 on Verizon. NO CONTRACT!! If you are on Verizon (or want to be) just call and get it activated. Nice huh?? I don’t think I need to give you any specs or anything about the device, so let’s just get to it! Enter to win below.
