They feature four layers of what the company characterized as durable protection that include shock absorption, with an outer gel skin layer that is interchangeable. The case also has a front-facing inward holster, a built-in screen protector, and connector seals that Ballistic said can ensure that dirt and other corrosive materials do not enter through the ports. The Ballistic HC will be offered through AT&T retail locations and Ballistic’s own Web site, and will ship later this summer. It will be priced at US$49.99.

Too bad their web page doesn’t work.Tried it with Safari and Opera and the page loads but the pictures don’t. Bryan Chaffin said on June 25th, 2010 at 3:37 PM: Yeah, I had trouble pulling up the pics on the dedicated product page (I got the layers chart from a press release), but the rest of the page worked for me. MOSiX Man said on June 25th, 2010 at 4:12 PM: Funny… Everything on the site works fine for me. They must have fixed it already. geoduck said on June 25th, 2010 at 4:24 PM (Edited: 01/26/2012 2:46 PM): Not for Safari/Opera on the Mac But IE8 under XP works fine. Annoying. MOSiX Man said on June 25th, 2010 at 4:34 PM: Well, considering that I am using Safari 5 on my Mac, and it works fine for me, I don’t think the problem is specific to the browser. Bryan Chaffin said on June 25th, 2010 at 5:26 PM: It’s all working for me now, as well. And to clarity, it was only the image on the HC’s page that didn’t work for me before. I was able to pull up the page and the rest of the site before posting the story. Now, however, the image pulls up just fine, too. That’s just in case there was any confusion. geoduck said on June 25th, 2010 at 5:33 PM (Edited: 01/26/2012 2:46 PM): All OK now on Mac Safari. I guess this means that they do read the reviews and comments. Post A Comment or Log-in. Need an account?
