OtterBox Nokia E72 Cases Arrive

In all the time we had our Nokia E72 review unit in, we never really felt the need to drop it, cover it in dust or generally knock it about.  Still, there are more demanding people out there than us, and some of them have a soft spot for an excellent QWERTY keyboard on their smartphone, and so OtterBox have stepped in with two new cases for the E72: a Defender and a Commuter.

The two versions cater for different usage scenarios, with the Defender being the more rugged of the two while the Commuter leaves the E72 less bulky.  The OtterBox Defender first wraps the smartphone in a clear membrane for dust/scratch protection, then a hi-impact polycarbonate shell, and finally a silicone skin that protects against bumps and shocks.  Meanwhile the OtterBox Commuter starts with a screen protector, adds a silicone layer and then finishes with a one-piece polycarbonate casing.

Putting a Defender in your pocket will add 3.09oz to the E72, while the Commuter is a whole lot more friendly at 0.75oz.  The former is $49.95 while the latter is $34.95; both are available now.
