Starting today, you can wrap your iPhone in a "skin on steroids" from maker of waterproof boxes and cases, OtterBox.

The "semi-rugged" case isn't waterproof, but is made from a hi-impact polycarbonate shell, with a membrane that allows you to operate the touchcreen, protecting your iPhone from minor spills, dirt, dust and scratches. It's wrapped in a black-on-black or yellow-on-black silicone skin that'll protect from short drops and bumps. (But not from slamming against the wall after you open your AT&T bill.) In total, it'll add less than 2 ounces to the weight of your iPhone.

Three Donaldson Acoustic Vents protect front speaker, bottom speaker and microphone openings and allow clear sound while keeping out dust and moisture. You'll also still have access to sync/Charge and headphone jacks through a silicone plug, and home, sleep/wake and volume buttons through silicone pass through buttons. There's a belt clip for those of you who still like the utility belt look.

(Note: If you're looking for more protection for your iPhone, OtterBox plans to release a fully rugged case that'll protect from all elements, before the holidays.)
