What with everyone clamoring for an iPhone these days, nothing screams “Mug me!” louder than an unprotected iPhone. And if you’re an iPhone owner, chances are your phone is pretty vulnerable around people with quick eyes and slippery fingers. Apple didn’t invest in a line of protective casings for the iPhone but Otterbox, one of the leading manufacturers of protective armor for gadgets, has come up with a way to keep your iPhone safe from sweaty hands and the pull of gravity. The Otterbox 140 is designed so that it can fit the 4GB or 8GB model snugly, like a wetsuit, while allowing access to the phone’s sockets and features. Yep, even the touch screen can be used underneath the Otterbox!

The Otterbox 140 will be on sale late 2007 and the price has yet to be announced.
