Otter Box
You're riding down a busy street on a bicycle, taking with you your PDA. Uh-oh! Watch out for that car! Screech! Crash. Luckily, you're ok, which is more than could be said about your PDA.

You're walking along the beach holding your PDA. It's warm, sunny; the waves are gently lapping at your feet. You look away for a moment, and oops, your PDA slips. It falls in the water, destroyed.

Either of those situations sound familiar or likely to happen to you? Then you should look at the Otter Box(tm) by Otter Products(tm) LLC. It is crush proof and waterproof (down to 100ft.).

According to Otter Products, you could put a car on the box, and the box's contents will remain ok.

The Otter Box is made out of tough plastic. Best of all, it's affordable. Costing between $15-$20, it's much cheaper than other ones.

I got a 3000 Series; fluorescent green one, which is big enough for a Compaq Aero 1550. Need a different size? Want a different color? No problem. The Otter Box comes in all shapes and sizes.

Inside the Otter Box is a sturdy foam liner to cushion the contents. Also inside, sandwiched in between the outside plastic and another inside layer of plastic is foam like weather stripping. So it's make-up is, from outside to inside: hard plastic, weather stripping-like foam, hard plastic, flexible, sturdy foam.

The choice is yours. Buy a titanium case for $100 that is shock proof, or buy an Otter Box for $15 that is shockproof, crush proof, and waterproof.
