Hasta La Gadget!

The fact that the iPhone 4’s front and back are both glass just means double the likelihood that you’ll bust it. You better slap a case on that puppy right away. Make it a super-sturdy one, like the Ballistic HC. (That stands for “hard-core,” an abbreviation that deserves to catch on.) The Ballistic HC features an interchangeable outer gel skin layer, front-facing inward holster, and built-in screen protector. It also incorporates innovative connector seals, to ensure that dirt and other corrosive materials don’t enter the ports.

The Ballistic HC is built with shock absorption materials, and the exterior has a rugged and edgy appearance–for durability and good looks. Look for it this summer at AT&T stores for $49.99.
