Leading up to the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) last month in
Las Vegas, we received many invitations to check out various booths,
receptions, other displays, and even a Gulfstream G5 flight out to the
San Fernando Valley. One of the booth invitations we received was from a
company known as OtterBox. Their booth had consisted of various
protective cases for PDAs, iPods, phones, and GPS devices. We had
initially written off Otterbox as a company of little interest to our
Linux readers seeing as they just manufactured cases for consumer
electronic devices. However, that was before we had noticed the OtterBox
7030. The OtterBox 7030 is a notebook case that is not only waterproof
but also crushproof, can even be dropped up to a meter with your
notebook inside, and of course is engineered to prevent any damage to
the laptop itself. Keeping in mind we are the ones that boil USB flash
drives and use motherboards to open beer bottles, we have our hands
today on the OtterBox 7030. Is this polypropylene chassis able to
protect a notebook inside when it's being used as a winter sled?
