I need the Otterbox because I will be running around Europe, going through the airport, etc. Also, it would provide a perfect place to put all of the important electronics so that they wouldn't get wet in the rain. That is the one thing I aways worry about with my PDA and MP3 player, them getting wet. And plastic bags just don't cut it.
I would like to protect all my handheld devices, but probably the most to be used outdoors will be the GPS. Next month we're headed to the beaches on Lake Michigan, so an Otter box would be a great protector for my GPS there, and where ever else we go.
I'd had my eye on an Otterbox 3000 or 3250 for a few weeks. They are not sold here in Israel, however. I'd love to win this contest and finally snag one! Thanks!
I'd sew elastic strips to the back of my battle vest and keep my personal belonging in the case. It should fit right under the large main pocket (where my water bag is now, but I can move that). I usually do not shave or bring many personal belongings with me on extended missions because everything gets ruined by water, dirt, and banging around anyway.
I am a scientist, and I frequently take my Ax into the field. My next road trip comes up in a month. An Otterbox would give me some peace of mind that I won't damage my Ax when I'm 200 miles from home.
