Incipio Destroyer Ultra Rugged Case
Incipio are one of the leading producers of accessories for mobile
devices and there was one product that Impulse Gamer was very keen to
review. This product was the DESTROYER ULTRA which is one of
the world's toughest cases for your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S. Without
getting into the technicalities yet and in laymen's terms... it was
designed to protect.

In
terms of appearance, it may not be the most stylish case on the
market but compared to some "other" rugged cases, it definitely has
the edge with its almost military type look.
Coming in a variety of
duel colours (http://www.myincipio.com/iPhone-4-4S-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-iPhone-4-4S-DESTROYER-ULTRA-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp), the Destroyer Ultra comes in three pieces for your
iPhone which is extremely easy to install. It also comes with a screen protector
or a Vanity Kit as Incipio call it. This kit includes one clear
screen protector, a microfiber cleaning cloth and an applicator
card.
Installation
Installing the screen protector is
probably the hardest aspect of the installation process but
fortunately the instructions are quite easy to follow and everything
is clearly labelled.
Once the
screen protector is installed, you then slide your iPhone into the
silicon case and then attach the outer high density polycarbonate
hard shell to the back. That's it and more importantly, it feels
extremely solid when it's all attached and should the unthinkable
happen... a drop, then rest assured, your iPhone 4 or 4S should be
well protected thanks to the shock absorbing silicone. This is what
this product was designed for.
The product also comes with a holster which is
idea for people working outside or even sports people. This however
is an optional accessory for the Destroyer Ultra and just like the
main case, it is extremely well built and very sturdy. In terms of
grip, the case definitely adds additional grip while you're using
your iPhone. For butter fingers or those who have a tendency to drop
their phones, this additional grip is what you need. It's also great
for gaming!
The Only downside to the case was that
with our iPhone 4S, it was a little tricky turning the audio off on
the phone due to the silicone case. However on a iPhone 4, this was
not an issue. The Destroyer Ultra also adds a little additional
weight to your smart phone but in the grand scheme of things, this
is a small price to pay, considering the protection this product
gives.
Once your iPhone is installed, you have
full access to all your controls from audio to cameras and
everything in between even with the holster installed. Speaking of
the holster, one cool aspect about the holster is that the clip on
the back can be rotated 360 degrees which is perfect for those on a
work site.
Final Thoughts
If you're after a well designed and
extremely sturdy case that offers almost total protection for your
iPhone 4 or 4S than the Destroyer Ultra from Incipio is that case!
It's easy to install and you don't lose any functionality of your
iPhone.
