The Otterbox Defender Series did not forget to address on other mobile device and this is the Palm Treo. Like the iPhone or Blackberry smartphones, the Palm users have their share of run-ins with possible scratches or dents and thus the need for protectors for their mobile devices. Otterbox brings that need now. Just like their previous protectors, these new Otterbox Defender Series has provisions for allowing users to easily access their device’s features such as answering emails, GPS and calls. They come in three layered designs:

1. Layer 1: Clear and Hi-Impact Polycarbonate covers for the screen and camera and thermal protective clear for the keypads.
2. Layer 2: Hi-impact polycarbonate shell
3. Layer 3: Silicone Skin for bumps and shocks.

Price: $49.95
