I try to be careful with my phone, but as careful as I am I have dropped it on occasion. Luckily, I never broke my iPhone when I dropped it, but it did get all scratched up. I do know one guy that broke several smartphones by dropping them before he invested in an OtterBox case to protect his phone.

OtterBox has announced new cases for the Blackberry Tour to help protect the smartphone from the daily grind. The two cases include the Defender and the Impact. The Defender is one of the toughest cases on the market and protects the Tour from drops, shocks, dust, and bumps. All keys and ports are usable while the phone is in the case and the Defender sells for $49.99.

If you want something a bit less ornate and cheaper, OtterBox also offers the Impact. The impact is made from silicone with integrated coring to transfer shock from drops away from the phone. The case also includes a screen protector and all ports and functions of the phone are usable with it in the case. The Impact sells for $19.95.
