Hands-on with a few Otterbox phone cases

We wandered past OtterBox during our aimless CES march and they had a couple fine cases on display so we just had to pop in for a look see. From BlackBerry cases to iPhone -- we're looking at those here -- cases, Otterbox brings the goods to wrap your dearly-loved nerd gear. We were particularly interested in a couple hard cases, one rugged, the other waterproof and looking bulletproof, too. Follow the link to the goodies.

I wonder what the difference is between this and my my rugged case I bought? http://www.blackberrysource.com/store/start.asp?category_id=103 This has always worked fine for me, probably a lot less $ too then one of these... ?

I got an Otterbox for my Treo 750 and it is incredible! There is no doubt you could throw the thing at a brick wall or run it over with a truck.
One problem, though, I bought it for my dive trip to Belize. Oops, there is no cell service in the frickin' ocean!
Someone please make a satellite conversion unit to plug into my Treo?

I left my pda in my otterbox on top of my car and drove off. I heard the clatter as it slid off at about 50 mph on a made up road. It scratched the case but otherwise otterbox and pda(ipaq) were fine.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME
