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. Experience the Tank

Help!
I put this case on my phone, and I don't like it because the edges stick up so far that it makes it difficult to type on the screen for texts and emails, and now I can't get it off. There seems to be a release button on the back that I should push to disconnect the two parts, but I can't push it in far enough to get the bottom to release. Please help me get this thing off my phone. Also, the part that is supposed to keep the charger plug in dry doesn't stay in, so it doesn't protect it against water and is a nuisance.

Poor dust protection
I work in a dusty environment and the 3GS is rugged but offers no protection for my needs. Close but no cigar.

Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!
Great protection, easy slide opening. Will get another when I upgrade to the iPhone 4 or 5 series.
