At first I wasn’t sure this was a good idea, but some people might just love this. Meet Opena, the first (to my knowledge) bottle opener and case for the iPhone 4/4S all-in-one. The Opena case is compatible with all iPhone 4 models, and is available in black or white for $39.95 each. Here’s how it works, the Opena is designed to be a hard protective case for your iPhone, and then when in need it has a slide-out bottle opener.

Introducing the Case-Mate Tank for iPhone 4 and 4S

Accessorize Mobile Team — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 21:56:59 +0000

As you might know the iPhone 4 and 4S is built with two pieces of glass (front and back) and that scares some people. If you’re one of those people who drop electronics, then normally we wouldn’t recommend the iPhone 4/4S unless you have a good case. If you are one of those people then listen up, meet the Case-Mate Tank case. The Tank Case is designed to be shatter resistant, and is made of a polycarbonate hard shell, silicone cushioned interior, and has a retractable screen shield to ensure you don’t smash your display. The Tank is by no means a small case, but it is one of the most protective on the market — and Case-Mate even claims that this case beats the competition (like the OtterBox Defender Series). Included with the Tank Case is a holster to attach it on your belt.

Modeled after motorcycle helmet engineering, Tank is designed with a hard, impact resistant exterior and a shock absorbing interior. A shatter resistant, polycarbonate hard shell combines with the thick, silicone cushioned interior. The retractable screen shields from impacts, cracking and condensation, fully protecting the iPhone screen. The Tank exterior is made of a premium, soft grip texture that slides easily in and out of your pockets. The Tank tests number one in impact resistance against the leading brand, and meets or exceeds US military standards.
