We have received our first rugged case for Apple’s new
iPhone and this gem has a couple tricks up it sleeve. The first are the
numerous layers of protection, not one, two, or three, but four layers of Army
Grade protection. The other standout feature is colors, lots and lots of
colors, 42 different combinations to choose from. The Crusta is also the first
case to use embedded tempered glass, which happens to be just one of the four
layers of protection. The remaining layers consist of a glass screen protector,
textured finish TPR ring, and a belt clip holster.

Once I got Amzer’s Crusta on my phone, it felt right at home
and surprisingly did not feel too bulky, granted I opted not to use the belt clip
as my phone usually resides in my pocket. I opted for the green ring and the
grey TPR ring, and while it did regretfully feel Seahawk-ish, yuck. The case
did install easily and did feel snug with no wiggles or rattles. The glass
screen protector was also the easiest screen protector for me to install
without bubbles, just be sure to clean the face well before install to remove
dust and dirt.

I like Amzer’s Crusta, as it does provide the
protection that our delicate devices need. The downside in which I immediately
noticed was that this did not provide protection from water like a number of
rugged case makers have started incorporating into the design. The plus side to
the lack of waterproofing is that the case is also significantly more affordable,
sporting a price point of $45.00. The plethora of color combinations is also a huge
plus for the case as you can personalize to your liking to stand out or match
with your personality.
