Otterbox has come up with a lot of different casings for mobile phones and now the latest casing solution they have is for the Blackberry 8520. Though it may need a lot of improvement in the fashion and style department, the new impact case for the Blackberry 8520 certainly seems like it will really keep your Blackberry “covered”.

And unlike most Otterbox casings, this impact casing practically serves to protect your Blackberry from drops and bumps and includes a self-adhesive protection film. It is not water-resistant. It is designed in black silicone and is not that bulky to carry along.

The device in the picture is more special than others. It is water-resistant and solar-powerd and it will arrive in Japan this June from KDDI. Sharp is the maker and we might expect it to make similar phones in the near future.

KDDI says that as little as 10 minutes of sun absorption will get you two hours of standby or about a minute of talk time. So what would exactly happen at night? No more phone calls? The sun can charge the 80% of the battery which sounds pretty good. That’s a great device for those people that always forget their chargers. All they would need will be some decent sunlight.

How much would you pay for such a phone? Prices and availability dates haven’t been officially announced yet.
