OtterBox, a company that has developed rugged cases for many mobile devices, including Palm's Treo smartphones and Hewlett-Packard's (HP) iPAQs, is now offering BlackBerry users a way to ruggedize their devices. The OtterBox 1930 and the OtterBox 1931 promise to waterproof and dustproof as well as drop and crush protect RIM's BlackBerry 8700 series and 7200 series.

Cases provide water-resistant access to keypad, scroll wheel, escape button, power button, mute button, sync/charge jack, headphone jack, and programmable side button. And the LCD remains protected from scratches and drop damage with a rigid screen cover, while an acoustic membrane allows for sound transmission.

Otterbox Web site lists the BlackBerry 8700 series case for $129.95, while the model for the BlackBerry 7200 series, the company explained to PDAStreet, will be out soon for the same price.
